Well, tonight is the last night before I marry the most amazing man. I can't quite believe where the last year has gone... from finding the ring early July, to him proposing on holiday last August... we've planned a big wedding... and now it's happening TOMORROW!!!
I just wanted to update for all the lovely people who posted on my thread in their excitement! And for those who found my hidden thread in off the beaten track! I shall endeavour to share an anonymised photo when I am able to!
Thank you again for all your shared excitement in the lead up to the proposal! ❤️

I’m so happy to see this news!
I’ve wondered what happened, I remember the thread filled up and the proposal wasn’t revealed, I must of missed the update.
I hope you have the best day!! 💐

I lurked on your thread under another name. You dealt with finding the ring and waiting for the proposal with class and humour. Congratulations to you and your family and I will be thinking of you tomorrow. 🥂🎉♥️

Congratulations, I hope you have the most perfect day xxx

Lovely update, OP. Have a fabulous wedding day!

Congratulations! Was it really a year ago?? Hope you both have a fabulous day and a wonderful life together 💕🥂 xx

ThisMustBeMyDream · 28/07/2025 06:46

Thank you everyone! I've been up since 5.30 getting ready! We marry at 12, so time is of the essence! The bridesmaids are about to arrive, so I'm just sitting having a breather for 10 mins, taking it all in. Today, I'm going to be a wife! Yikes! 🤣

I’m not crying you are! Congratulations OP ! Hope today is perfect for you

Bulletproofmama2021 · 28/07/2025 09:05

AHH help!! Saw the thread of finding the ring and then left on a cliff hanger!! Can't complete the story without the proposal thread! Can someone point me in the right direction?

millymoo1202 · 28/07/2025 09:05

I remember your thread, aww that fantastic, congratulations

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 28/07/2025 10:02

@Bulletproofmama2021

Due to some hate the Op received on the initial thread, the follow up thread went elsewhere and was prob 30 days only.
So I believe it won't be found now - but happy for someone else to prove me wrong.

Cheepcheepcheep · 28/07/2025 10:09

Congratulations! I remember the start of your original thread I think.

It’s our anniversary today too, 7 years 😊- so I agree with @InsanityLater that 28/07 is a good omen to my mind!

Areyouactuallyjokingme · 28/07/2025 10:14

@Cheepcheepcheep Happy 7th anniversary (copper)💐🥂🍾❤️ Hope you have something nice planned for later x

Have the best day OP, wishing you both a lifetime of happiness.

Have a beautiful day!

ThisMustBeMyDream · 30/07/2025 16:35

We made it! I'm absolutely shattered, but over the moon! We had the absolute best day. We are in such a lovely little post wedding bubble here, no post Wedding blues for us. Just lots of happiness!
Nothing went wrong all day. Everyone behaved (we worried about our divorced parents who had potential for diaster!). My now DH (!) choked up doing his promises and his speech; I've never seen him cry in the 8 years we've been together! It just gets me every single time I think about it. It was just so bloody beautiful! The whole day... I just didn't want it to end!
Thank you so much for all the lovely messages ❤️.
One thing I will say is that just because a man waits to propose, it does not mean he doesn't want to marry you. I thought the day would never come, but once it did - he was full steam ahead and has been as committed to this as me. He's been fully involved in the whole process, and it has brought us even closer together (which I didn't think possible, but I was wrong!). If you're waiting for a proposal, I really hope it's as amazing for you as this has been for me.
