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!!

Sounds tedious op, is this what you want?

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

Why??? 😕That's weird and creepy.

pavementmutation · 24/12/2023 21:40

I didn't know anybody still had Polaroids.

Bizarre.
i wouldn’t care for that it’s both weird and cheesy

@sleepysummery hope the ring is decent !!

FishyInTheSeaaa · 24/12/2023 21:43

Whys everyone being so mean??

Hope tomorrow is lovely OP ❤️

Merry Christmas.

grumpesaurus · 24/12/2023 21:43

I'm not a huge fan of social media and think these trends can be a bit immature but ultimately he's clearly excited and wanting to commemorate it in his own way and that's a sweet thing.

Keep us posted OP! 😊

I assume the OP means a modern instant camera - they are very popular at the moment!

Do update us tomorrow OP - hoping you get your Christmas wish!

Theimpossiblegirl · 24/12/2023 21:46

Please update tomorrow, OP.

Doggymummar · 24/12/2023 21:46

Proposing at Christmas is such a cop out, particularly as you don't want it. It's going to an awkward day in your house.

janfebmarchapril · 24/12/2023 21:48

If you don't want it I really hope it's not! Good luck!

sleepysummery · 24/12/2023 20:23

No it's definitely not what I want 🙃

Why are you excited if it's not what you want?

caringcarer · 24/12/2023 21:49

I'll check back in tomorrow please update us OP.

Sidebeforeself · 24/12/2023 21:50

OP was being flippant I think?

I think the upside down face represents SARCASM.

Merry Christmas.

It's not mean, just a personal preference.

I wouldn't like it but then no-one's ever proposed so it doesn't matter.

Enjoy tomorrow OP.

Backinthedress · 24/12/2023 21:55

Maybe he's got you a multi-shot photo frame as a needed something to put in all the slots? 😉

Spencer0220 · 24/12/2023 21:57

If you have an inkling and it definitely isn't what you want, you have some time to decide how to turn him down. Firmly.

For gods sake don't say yes not to ruin the moment. It's so hard to back out later.

It's five years since my Christmas Day proposal. It was magical and DH had put a lot of thought into it. We went through all the usual gift giving and then he disappeared because he'd "forgotten one". No social media stuff, but that isn't for us. If he's got your relationship down to a tee with this OP and it's what you want, it will be fabulous!

sleepysummery · 24/12/2023 22:14

Sorry, yes I would be very pleased. Been together a long time, three children etc etc.

I don't mind if it is and that it's Christmas Day because I bloody love Christmas 😂

I haven't seen these trends as neither of us have TikTok but I think he's been putting the ring box next to me and taking photos on our Polaroid (we love our Polaroid camera!) so that's why he's had me close my eyes etc

We shall see! If it is that, it's quite cute imo haha.

If it's not, then god knows haha I'm looking forward to finding out!
