- Matthew Skyler proposed to his girlfriend during his sister's wedding — with the help of his sister, the bride.
- The video of it went viral.
- Matthew's sister, Amie Skyler, said she was happy to help out her brother.
Instead of tossing the bouquet to her bridesmaids at her wedding, Amie Skyler surprised everyone by walking over and handing it to one of them, Savannah.
Then Amie's brother, Matthew, surprised everyone by proposing to Savannah.
The video of Matthew's proposal to Savannah during his sister's wedding Saturday in Alabama went viral this week when Amie posted it to Twitter.
Amie Skyler told INSIDER she had to tweak the wedding schedule to make sure it went smoothly.
"We actually had to skip the garter toss because I was so worried she would see the big ring box in his pocket," Skyler wrote in a Twitter direct message. "She would have thought it weird that he didn’t participate in the garter toss so we skipped it and just went straight to the bouquet toss!"

The idea of aiding and abetting a proposal at your own wedding had some people up in arms.

But for the most part, people were supportive. Skyler told INSIDER she helped plan the whole thing.
"He was kind of hesitant though because he really didn't want to take the attention off me, but I didn’t see it that way," Skyler wrote. "It made my day 100x more special and meaningful! I would do again and again for him."
