I was pleased to hear last night that a friend's DS has just got engaged.
What I found rather odd though is that his whole family knew he was planning it 8 mths ago !! I'm presuming it coincides with a birthday or some other event. I can't help thinking that if I was his fiancée I'd be miffed that everyone knew before he'd even asked me.

Maybe she knew as well?

No, that's the point, she didn't.
It says so in the message.

Just after DD and now SIL had moved in together SIL organised a big party at home, nearly 70 people, only me, 1 of his friends and one of mine knew he intended going down on one knee, literally, and proposing marriage.

I was so nervous as I really never though of DD as being the marrying type.

Thankfully she said yes or it could all have been a bit embarrassing.
She really did not suspect a thing.

When my now Son-in-law proposed to DD3 her sisters knew it was going to happen as he enlisted their help in choosing a ring and making sure it was the right size. He spoke to DH and I before the proposal which we thought was lovely in this day and age.

They were engaged in July last year, married in April this year and have a baby due in February.
