I think my partner is going to propose tomorrow...

[sleepysummery]

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!!

Eagerly following

I don’t understand any of this. The photos, the shutting your eyes.

I would just have refused if anyone suggested that to me…

Wahoo, jumping on board for a hopefully jubilant update!

No one cares !

You say no one cares but you are posting on OPs thread!

It does all seem dreadfully juvenile and twee though…

Relax, it's just a nice proposal thread.

NO you don't get it. I am saying that no one cares what @Marwoodsbigbreak thinks!! I am happy for Op.

What proposal? Why do the weird photos mean there’s a proposal?

It really does sound rather grim.

OMG so many dickheads on this thread! OP sounds like you are having a lovely day 😊. Your DP sounds really thoughtful and romantic 💕 I hope you get the proposal of your dreams. I would love if someone went to that much trouble for me, even if it's not my 'thing', it's the thought and care that is important.
please update with a picture of the ring

You’re very rude

Come on OP: time for an update. Your waiting public are starting to squabble.

This!!!

How on earth is the word "grim" appropriate here?

Back for an update! OP don't leave us hanging! 💍

I think because it isn’t disaffected, snide and gloomy it really isn’t some posters’ cup of tea. They therefore need to push it in that direction…

What's happening op!

What's he playing at? Doesn't he realise we are all waiting for the ring shot. I've finished my bottle of champagne, but I'll open another in anticipation. 🍾🍾

Hope you're having a lovely day OP

That's why different people marry different people. No evidence it's all for show. All we know is OP is excited, her partner has made an effort to do something he knows is her thing and we are waiting for an update. What would be other people's dream proposal isn't the point. The point is the OP is having an exciting day away from her usual general responsibility of bringing up 3 children. So good for her.
But update needed.

Ah come on , I've had dinner and lots of wine, need to know op, what you get?! 🤣

Really? That particular trend has fortunately passed me by, are you quite young OP? I’m 33 and it seems really puerile to me.

Well, it's a good job it isn't happening to you, isn't it? Honestly, what the hell even is the point in comments like yours!? Do you just randomly say 'I don't understand' in normal conversations in real life? Because if you do, people will get the impression that you aren't quite all there.

OP, please ignore the unkind and somewhat slow people on this thread, who have nothing better to do than snipe and pretend not to understand anything that was invented after about 1980. Most of us are rooting for you.

Of course I say “I dont understand” in real life if I dont understand something! Do you go through life pretending you know it all?

I genuinely have never come across this before, and neither have many other posters, including some younger ones (I will concede I am rather old!) It’s very unkind to accuse me of “not being all there” because I have to ask about the latest Tik Tok trend.

If anyone is sniping here it is you. You sound really nasty actually.
