A man has shared how he sabotaged a proposal at a wedding - but now he is wondering whether he did the right thing. The guilt-ridden individual felt it was right for him to step in when he was called into DJ at the wedding of a friend of a friend. But when a guest tried to pop the question on the dancefloor, the man decided to ruin the moment by switching up the songs, leaving the guest down on one knee red-faced.
However, the story took a turn as it seems while he deemed the proposal inappropriate, the moment was actually welcomed by other guests at the wedding. He explained: "At the wedding while everyone was on the dance floor one of the guests - we’ll call him Kevin - approached me and asked if I could play the song Golden Hour.
The proposal was a surprise (Getty Images/iStockphoto)"It was an odd request because at this time all the guests were literally hopping around and dancing but I was told to take all requests so did it anyway. When I started playing it the dance floor started to clear up and then Kevin invited a woman onto the dance floor and they started slow dancing for a bit."
He continued on Reddit: "A few people joined them (including the bride and groom) then at that one part of the song Kevin got down on one knee and I knew right away that he was going to propose. I didn’t think it was right especially because they were in the middle of the dance floor with all eyes on them and I kinda felt like if this happened I would take the fault because I was the one to put on a romantic song out of nowhere.
"So instead of letting that happen as soon as he pulled out the box, I started to play BOOGIE and turned up the volume instead. After that Kevin just side-eyed me and got up and everyone else sat down. After that nothing else really happened and the tension was very thick.

"After the wedding a bunch of the family started to message me. It turns out that Kevin was the bride’s brother and the family kept asking why I did that, I told them that proposing at someone else’s wedding was not appropriate. They told me that I shouldn’t have an opinion because I was just the DJ and now Kevin got publicly humiliated because some people knew this was going to happen so they were taking videos and were live on Instagram so all their friends could see."

The DJ felt conflicted over his decision (Getty Images)Other social media users then showed their support for the DJ as they assured him he had done the right thing. One wrote: "If the bride knew this was going to happen and approved it, she should have told you beforehand. Your heart was in the right place. Protect the bride and groom's day."
A second agreed: "If I'm the DJ, ain't no chance I'm honouring a request like that without getting verbal face-to-face approval from bride AND groom. And I want a 3rd party witness there to verify. Preferably one of the other vendors. Proposing at someone else's wedding is tacky AF."
A third said: "He did the right thing, the Kevin dude's a buffoon who wanted to hijack the celebration to make it about him and his girlfriend. Plan your own event, Kevin!" A fourth slammed the proposal further commenting: "Proposing at someone else's wedding is absolutely tacky. Like.. you put in no effort to make the proposal unique/special and ride someone else's event? I would be so offended if someone I was with proposed that way."
