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!!

Aww lovely @sleepysummery .

Congratulations. I would've liked his humour, too.

Congratulations to you on not being able to understand photos can be taken at different times of the day, but uploaded minutes apart 🥳

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.

You were rude first not because you said you don't understand but to tell OP you would have not accepted. If OP is happy and she think there is a proposal or some kind of surprise, why you have to make her feel less than you for being excited for that.

Redpaisley · 26/12/2023 02:06

Congratulations🍾

Does it really matter how a random stranger reacts to a post? If the op knew them that would be a different matter but as it stands…

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

What does this even mean?😂 she clearly took two different pictures at different times of the day and then uploaded it on here. What is wrong with people?!

There's a lot of miserable, bitter and lonely people on here who like to pour water on any sort of engagement post. Sad and pathetic I know.

@randomusername2020 it's pale blue!

CONGRATULATIONS OP! That is a beautiful ring and what a sweet way to get engaged. He made it fun and romantic, all in one.

I hope you both continue to have a beautiful life filled with the best in the coming years.
