Congratulations on making your future breakup that much more awkward.
Thanks for the tip. From now on, whenever things are shaky between me and my gf, I'll throw a house party and invite my family. She won't be able to reject if family is involved
That's awful you are going to make him suffer, tell him as soon as possible that you don't want to marry him...
You didn't have to say yes just because other people were there. You could have taken him aside and been honest- now the breakup is going to be even worse. You should also tell him that the next time he proposes, it would be better if it's in private so the other person doesn't feel as though they're obligated to say yes.
You need to tell him immediately. It's nice you didn't embarrass him in front of everyone but you need to tie this off before it gets worse.
Well now is the part where you tell him you told him "yes" to avoid embarrassing you both in front of his family.. and get out of the engagement lol
Deal with it.

Oh gosh take him aside in private explain why you think it's a bad idea and that you really resent the way you feel forced to say yes, do not stick around for the sake of politeness it's not healthy
Although I can see why you gave in to the social pressure, you should've immediately asked for a private minute and told him about your feelings. This was not ok on his part! You should never ever propose in public if you haven't talked about marriage beforehand and are absolutely 100% sure of your partners intentions. It's absolutely assholeish to pressure your SO into saying yes by inviting all of your family.
