2 million misinformed Internet-shamers just upstaged a bride at her own wedding

Two weeks ago, an Iowa man committed the wedding faux pas seen — quite literally — around the world.

A single photo, posted first to Imgur and later to Reddit, seemed to tell the entire story: A woman in a coral dress with one hand clamped over her tearful face; a man on his knee in front of her with arm outstretched, grinning broadly; and in the background, sitting down, upstaged, an actual bride and groom — the bride’s head tilted, grimacing slightly.

“Any girl’s wedding nightmare,” read the caption on Imgur, which has since been viewed more than 2.5 million times — and been labeled, in various corners of the Internet, as “selfish,” “blood-boiling” and “so f***ing rude.”

The bride and groom look pretty happy to me.

Well since it was the brides idea then who cares. She looks happy for her sister.

They are happy because they were in on the proposal. Social media has gotten way out of hand. People are always in other people's business...

I don't get it. Who was shocked at who for what?

Then, again, I'm a guy...

A wedding is the day for a bride and groom. Many thought the people that got engaged were wrong in doing the proposal at the wedding and criticized them for it. Now they have found out that the bride and groom were in on the surprise.

When I was little, I was taught the hard way to MYOB. I'm sure glad I don't have to worry over such crap! Life is too short!
