A Lighthouse, a Proposal, and a Friendship in Crisis: The Aftermath
A seemingly innocent Instagram post has sparked a dramatic fallout between friends. The couple, who had planned a proposal at a picturesque lighthouse, felt betrayed when their friend, who had been instrumental in planning the proposal, posted a picture at the same location weeks before the event. Despite her insistence that she did nothing wrong, the couple has demanded an apology and banned her from their upcoming wedding. The friend remains defiant, arguing that a social media post shouldn’t have such influence on their special moment. As the dust settles, the question remains: was the friend in the wrong, or is the couple overreacting? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this…
