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! ❤️

Is this the ring that was found in an underwear drawer? You went on holiday but I don’t remember a proposal! Please say this is the right one!

Congratulations!

@SunSeaSangria yes yes and yes.
due to a good bit of hate the follow up thread had to be looked for and found.

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 30/07/2025 18:50

Yes, one groomsman (my eldest), two page boys (my younger two) and my stepdaughter was a flower girl.
We did a unity ceremony with them all using coloured sand too.

My absolute favourite picture so far (and we only have a small selection!) is from our first dance. We did a dance which my sons girlfriend choreographed for us. She's just graduated with a degree in dance and is absolutely amazing! She taught the uncoordinated to dance!
I had to change in to a different dress for it, but put my dress straight back on after!

I can feel your joy and happiness from here.
Thank you for the extra photo of the children, I think it has probably stuck in many people's mind the name of your ring and the significance.

Prettychubster · 30/07/2025 20:39

@OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevonand isn’t that just so bloody sad. 😔 and probably what gives MN the reputation it has.

why can’t someone have a happy thread.

just lovely 🥰

Areyouactuallyjokingme · 30/07/2025 21:33

mechanicalpencil · 30/07/2025 22:04

Congratulations OP! I do remember your thread!
At one point, the ring box was right there in a little cubby with some other bits and pieces and still there was no proposal!
Lovely to read the follow up! Wishing you lots of joy in your life together.
🤩🤩
