Wedding DJ Spots A Proposal About To Happen On The Dance Floor, Changes The Song To Ruin It, Later Wonders If He Did The Right Thing
Recently, a 27-year-old man who is a part-time DJ turned to the AITA community on Reddit for a moral judgement.
“I mostly DJ for just family and friends, I’m not really a professional, just do it for a little side cash from time to time,” the author explained.
One such side hustle was playing “on the cheap at a wedding for a friend of a friend.” It all was going fine until one guest, “Kevin,” asked for the song “Golden Hour.” “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 anyways,” the DJ recounted.
Little did he know, the party was about to take an unexpected turn.

It is gauche to propose at someone else's event. The DJ was doing their job by preventing the hijacking of attention.
I say nta. It seems that at no point did anybody say anything about a proposal, even when the d**k asked for the song he was in a position to do so. My guess is the happy couple didn't have a clue about it and weren't told beforehand so they couldn't say no.
NTA. You people criticizing the DJ boggle my mind. If this was planned and permission given, then this is absolutely something you would talk to the DJ about. You'd make arrangements. Yes, there was an assumption being made here. And it's an assumption that's easily made. You don't announce major personal things at someone else's event. Period. Even with permission it's disrespectful. And in this case, it's absolutely safe to assume no permission was granted if no one tells you. And his tip proves that point.
