A man who popped the question to his girlfriend during his brother's wedding has left the internet divided with the timing of his romantic gesture.

The anonymous man, who is from the US, took to Reddit to explain how his brother's new wife was left fuming after hearing the news and accused them of having "ridiculed their wedding."

He explained: "We were alone, no one was even paying any attention to us at all because there were 100 people there. I just asked her 'so, beach at sunset… will you marry me?'

"She said yes, we had a good laugh, took a selfie together, and slowly walked back to the site of the reception."

The man went on to say that while he hadn't revealed the news to any of his family or wedding guests, news soon got round when his fiancee shared snaps of the romantic proposal on social media just days later.

He continued: "Two days ago, my girlfriend posted that selfie on her social media, tagged me, and wrote a caption 'finally marrying the love of my life, and a sunset beach proposal!'

"My sister-in-law said we ridiculed their wedding with our post, while my brother said I'm an a****** for proposing at someone else's wedding."

And it wasn't long before social forum users took to the comments section – with very mixed responses.

Some noted it was the wrong time and place for an engagement, with one writing: "For anyone even considering this as an actual thing: Even with "permission" from the bride and groom, DO NOT DO YOUR PROPOSAL during their wedding/reception."

A second penned: "I mean, of all the ways to propose at someone else's wedding, this is probably the least tacky. Still, you'd think that in ten years together, you could've found a different occasion. Soft YTA."

However, others instead argued that as the proposal xx and there was no big announcement, they couldn't see the problem.

"I was ready to say you're the asshole but you didn't propose in front of everybody, you didn't announced it at the reception and you waited two days to post it so NTA," wrote one.

"SIL is the one who is ridiculous here."

A second agreed: "I actually agree with you on this. Had any of the other guests noticed then a definite Y T A. But the way this was under the radar Id go with NTA."

A third commented: "I am usually hard no proposing at other’s weddings, but this seems like literally the only time it is ok."

"Did not steal the spotlight. Off on your own. Ridiculing their wedding? What does that even mean?? NTA and congrats!!"
