Completely by accident... DP was in the bathroom getting ready for bed, he'd left his phone in the bedroom with the radio on. A song came on that I really hate by Ellie Goulding so I opened his phone to switch stations, and it opened on a whatsapp chat he was having with my best friend, where he'd sent her photos of the engagement ring he's just bought.

I feel so bad that I know this! And to make matters worse I had to keep the radio on the same bloody song so he wouldn't know I'd seen!

Would it have been a total surprise or had you discussed it?
are you going to say yes!

sirfredfredgeorge · 01/06/2016 23:41

Your DP has proposed to your best friend and all you're worried about is the song on the radio?

That's level headed, I just couldn't do it. Well done!

I found my engagement ring two days before in his sock drawer. Over 15 years later and I've still never let on.

Aww that's love,t - the nicest possible outcome for a thread with that title! Surprised face practicing - go!

I hope he proposes soon Grin

WanderingNotLost · 02/06/2016 08:06

We've talked about it at length so it's not a complete bolt from the blue! No idea when he's actually planning to PTQ so that will definitely be a surprise!

I found mine under his bedside table the day before. 10 years on he has no idea.

Luckily I'm a delicate little flower whose chin quivers at the slightest emotional thing so I cried anyway.
