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!!

Ahh fun!

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 25/12/2023 01:50

Here just to find out if he does!

Hopefully you get what you want OP. If it is a proposal (or some other lovely thing), congratulations in advance.

I increasingly despair at the amount of negativity and reality-twisting spewed by some posters on this site. Sometimes there are interesting conversations but all too often, people are overly critical and do the customary autopilot “LTB” scream before they’ve even had a chance to properly assess the OP. Pretty horrendous.

Missingmybabysomuch · 25/12/2023 02:09

Regardless of whether it is a proposal or not, how lovely that he is clearly making some effort to do something a bit special and memorable for you @sleepysummery I remember being a child and the anticipation was a huge part of the excitement around Xmas so I hope you have a wonderful Xmas day. And please do let us know what the photos were for!! 🥰

MagentaRocks · 25/12/2023 02:18

He is making an effort, the OP I'd clearly excited. I don't see why people can't just be nice.

Some people love public proposals, some like a big gesture, some like a quiet and private one with no fuss. Mine was no fuss, same as my wedding. Doesn't mean I can't be pleased for people that have different proposals.

Blatantly book marking

Ditto

Monty27 · 25/12/2023 03:36

@sleepysummery oh my. At least you're prepared to let him down if that's what he's up to. Stick to NO if that's what you mean. Good luck 😳

Mummyoflittledragon · 25/12/2023 03:40

Also placemarking. I’m confused as to whether or not you want this?

Dontsparethehorses · 25/12/2023 03:53

cant wait to see the ring…hopefully… 😊🙏

Einszwei · 25/12/2023 04:25

How can people be so negative? Hope you have a lovely Christmas whatever happens OP!

YRGAM · 25/12/2023 04:39

Wow there are some seriously miserable bitter people on this website. Enjoy your Christmas and hopefully your ring OP!

Josette77 · 25/12/2023 05:10

This is adorable!!! Eeeek!!!

Ignore the bitter ones and keep up updated!!!!!

Bubblesoffun · 25/12/2023 06:20

well isn’t MN full of Christmas cheer today… yes that was sarcasm. Some really bitter, joyless people. Also some totally unable to read between the lines and understand subtext.
good luck op! Ignore the negativity and enjoy your day!

Pashazade · 25/12/2023 06:56

Keeping everything crossed for you OP, it's lovely he's making an effort! Ignore those channelling Scrooge!

IndividualApplicant · 25/12/2023 06:57

Good lord some people are miserable. Thinking 💍 thoughts for you OP.

AnneValentine · 25/12/2023 07:01

I’m intrigued!

TravelInHope · 25/12/2023 07:02

Too early to say LTB? 😀

Aylestone · 24/12/2023 21:34

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

That's creepy. Ick.

Just fucking why? I'm clearly getting old.

RantyAnty · 25/12/2023 07:02

Excited to hear what happened!

Gensola · 25/12/2023 07:12

hope you get a Christmas proposal!

ApolloandDaphne · 25/12/2023 07:21

If it is a proposal at least he is putting some thought into it. My DH asked me if we should get married as I was walking him to the bus station after a visit. I said that that would be a good idea. No romantic proposal. We are still married almost 40 years on.

Seasidesusy · 25/12/2023 07:21

Let us know!

Zonder · 25/12/2023 07:23

Checking in and hoping for a lovely post from OP today.

UCantParkThereSir · 25/12/2023 07:24

The OP said it's definitely not what she wants 😬
