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!!

Congratulations op 2 different tops within 2 mins, well done.

I'm guessing OP didn't take the photos and instantly post them on here. They were most likely taken a few hours apart.

Congratulations - that's a beautiful ring xxx

It's beautiful, and if you're happy, then that's amazing!

What were all the photos for though yesterday?

Congratulations @sleepysummery Your ring is beautiful 💍 Enjoy your night 💘

Awww! Congratulations!
The ring is lovely, now tell us, how did it happen? Did he involve the kids?
Aww it's such a beautiful thing that the kids will be a part of the memory of the day you got engaged and part of the wedding.
I sometimes feel sad that me and DH got married before the last two, so weren't part of the day.
