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!!

What a lovely thing to read on Christmas Day! Congratulations, OP, that is so sweet.

Ahh congratulations, your rind is absolutely BEAUTIFUL 🥰.

His idea for the proposal was super cute and so personal to you both-i think it’s lovely.

So many misery guts on this thread! You don’t need to have an opinion-it wasn't about you!

Wonderful news, CONGRATULATIONS!

I got married this year after being together for close to two decades!

I always think it says something when two people who already have children still want to marry each other, despite all the ups and downs that can come with family life.

It was the most surreal feeling saying our vows to each other, for a moment it was like there was no one else in the room but us. We were both blubbering messes, but it was the most beautiful moment we have ever shared together. We feel more in love than ever now.

I hope for you to experience the same together 🙂

It sounds like he knows you very well and it was beautiful
