Today he has been making me stand with my hands across my eyes, to take Polaroid photos of me.

So, this morning he took one of me next to the Christmas tree with my eyes closed. I couldn't open them until he'd left the room.

Then he's done a few more at random places across the day....

I don't want to get my hopes up but what is he hiding!? What is this about!!!

Excited but still need to keep my cool just in case it's something completely different haha.

Will update!!

Good luck, if that's what you want.

No it's definitely not what I want 🙃

I think your assumption is probably correct.

I hope he’s got you an actual Christmas present too!

Ostagazuzulum · 24/12/2023 20:25

Sounds interesting whatever he is up to! Hope it's magical for you!

Exciting! Update us 😃😃🎄

mrboombasticwhy · 24/12/2023 20:55

Ooh

Hiddenvoice · 24/12/2023 20:57

I hope you’re right but whatever he’s doing, he’s putting in a lot of effort which is lovely!

Hermanfromguesswho · 24/12/2023 20:58

This sounds lovely. 🥰

Crikey, if it's not what you want, are you planning on letting him down gently?

Sidebeforeself · 24/12/2023 21:02

I really hope its not an air fryer

Theimpossiblegirl · 24/12/2023 21:04

Whatever he's up to, he's going to a lot of effort. Fingers crossed for you.

I saw a one on Tiktok where it was about someone cheating and they were holding up signs about knowing they were cheating and that they were leaving them. I've also seen the ones with signs about proposals, or puppies, or new cars... he has to know what you're thinking...

PastorCarrBonarra · 24/12/2023 21:07

I wonder what all these Polaroids are about! Looking forward to the update…

Aylestone · 24/12/2023 21:08

Pm for updates. I’m intrigued. Have you spoken about marriage?

Tilllly · 24/12/2023 21:09

You don't want a proposal?

Swirls346 · 24/12/2023 21:09

So exciting for you

RolyPolyBatFacedGirl · 24/12/2023 21:10

I wouldn't be going through all the palava of being told to stand with my eyes closed for photos to be taken!

But then I'm old and boring Grin

JustOneMoreBaileys · 24/12/2023 21:15

But why do these odd photos lead to a proposal?

I am struggling to imagine Smile

Blondebutnotlegally · 24/12/2023 21:33

Ooh I'm excited now too!

It’s a daft social media trend. Tomorrow he’ll make a TikTok showing all the pictures of him holding the ring next to her without her apparently knowing

Oh God, that'd put me right off him lol!

Hope you get what you're hoping for OP, whatever it is.
