Fight me: proposing to someone at their graduation is WRONG. you took away from their day and their individual accomplishments to make it “yalls big day”

I agree with this for ANY type of celebration day. Whether it be birthday/holiday/special event/etc. MAKE YOUR OWN DAY. Choosing an already special day is a cop out and (depending on the day) changes the focus of the occasion (and usually not in a good way) 😮‍💨 the ONLY exception being your partner has specifically HINTED at wanting it to happen on day xyz…..otherwise don’t do it.

@Amanda I agree with you. Unless it was specifically talked about beforehand and agreed upon, don’t ruin someone’s celebration even if it’s one of the people in the relationship.

I agree. My wife and I agreed that we'd do no proposals on birthdays or holidays or at locations we loved prior to being together 🤣

Dang. I can definitely understand both sides but I think I overall disagree. For me personally, if my husband had chosen to propose to me at graduation it would have turned an exciting day into an even more exciting day! Just more to celebrate day of I suppose 🙈

@Emily I can see this, but as others have said it depends on you and your relationship, what you’ve talked about. Personally, if I finally managed to graduate, my partner proposing would be the cherry on top, BUT I can also see it going south quickly not only from our own personal details but family and friends. I’ve yet to be “done” with college for quite a while and have worked very hard for income, as a mom, and a caretaker for years all the while taking classes here and there. I wouldn’t want anything to taint my graduation or the proposal, so it would be better if they were separate rather than one latching onto the other.
