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!!

It's a vintage art deco ring; which is just amazing as I love that era. Ahh!! Putting the kiddies to bed now and then we are going to open up a bottle of champagne 🍾

Thank you again, I am totally made up!

Omg! That is exactly the type of ring I would love. I’m forever googling ‘art deco engagement rings’, I won’t be getting one, I have an engagement ring, we’ve been married 25 years!

It’s stunning. Congratulations 🎉💍

Basically;

We love Polaroid photos; we always get a couple of packets of the film for special occasions/holidays etc. we have a lovely folder full of amazing memories.

So, the last couple of days he's got me to have my eyes closed, or hands in front of face and taken a pic. I obviously asked why! And he just said they were for a present of mine.

Then when he proposed this evening, we actually went for a walk which was planned. My mum came over and had the kiddies.

We stopped outside some beautiful Christmas lights, and he asked if I wanted my last present!

I obviously said yes. He gave me a card. And it said some beautiful words but also contained all the Polaroids! I have added one as an example.

And as I was reading/looking he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him!

It isn't to everyone's taste as I can see haha but it was very lovely for me.

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

It’s lovely OP and I’m glad it had a happy ending. I hope the nasty ladies’ posts didn’t detract too much. I guess they need to get their kicks somehow…

The ring is beautiful, but more importantly it sounds like your soon to be husband put a lot of thought into making the proposal special for you which I think is lovely and a sign that you will have a long, happy life together. Lovely thread, happy Christmas 😍
