There is intense kerfuffle, yes. And for once, I don't blame the kerfuffle-causers. This is a perfectly valid basis for kerfuffle.
I'm also kinda worried she's going to say 'yes'. They need a way to cool down the S/J, because there's no way they can keep it at the level of season 7 without just going ahead and getting them together. What would be a more effective way of cooling it down than making Jack think she'd lost interest? Getting engaged to another man would certainly do that.
I don't think the wedding'll go ahead, but I think she might agree to the engagement at least temporarily.

At which point I will throw many, many tantrums.
Hmph.
