The man who proposed to his girlfriend during the middle of a wedding reception has been heavily criticized online for stealing the spotlight from a couple’s special day.
The proposal photo was posted on Reddit and has quickly gone viral, generating over 2.2 million views.
But there’s more to the story than meets the eye.
The new fiancée, who only identified herself as Megan to the New York Daily News, claims that the idea of proposing at the wedding was the bride's idea.
She should know, since the bride is also her sister.
Megan says she was the maid of honor at the wedding and her now-fiancé was the best man.
Megan claims that everyone in the room except for her knew that the proposal was going to happen during the wedding reception.
Megan provided additional photos from the wedding that show how happy the newlyweds are after the proposal. She hopes this will stop the barrage of criticism the original photo generated.
