Woman leaves people in hysterics as she reveals the VERY obvious reason she knew her man was about to pop the question
HE thought he was being cool, calm and collected ahead of popping the question.
But Chloe has admitted her other half’s plan was thwarted by a very obvious mistake.
In a video on her TikTok page, Chloe admitted she’d realised something was up when she spotted a distinctive shape in her man’s shorts.
While he was completely oblivious, she kept filming him throughout the day – zooming in to show the ring box that was easily seen underneath the fabric.
She then had a “suspicion” he was going to ask her to marry him during a cocktail cruise on the last night of their Hawaiian holiday.
“He’s been walking around all day with these shorts on that are a tad too tight and I see an object in his pocket that looks like a ring box,” she laughed.
He looked somewhat bemused as to why he was being filmed, but dutifully smiled for the camera.
The video then concluded on the cocktail cruise, with Chloe showing off her whopping new ring, and her new fiancé looking very relieved.
“So he may not be the best at keeping secrets LOL,” she captioned the video.
And people in the comments section immediately broke down in hysterics after watching the video.
“Can you ask him for me if he thought you wouldn’t notice the AC window unit in his pocket? Thanks!” one person joked.
“He might as well have just let you hold the box,” another said.
“I was NOT expecting it to be that obvious,” a third laughed.
“The cutest part is that he really thought he was keeping something secret,” someone else said.
“No wait, he really thought he was hiding it?” another questioned.
“Did he ask if you were surprised? Hahahaha!” someone else asked.
To which Chloe replied: “He did!
“I showed him the videos I took right after!”
How to ace a proposal
Thinking of proposing? Follow this checklist by Fabulous’ Deputy Editor Josie Griffiths to ensure a yes…
- Time it right – the average Brit waits between 18 months and two years to get engaged. But you might feel ready after six months, or decide to wait five plus years to pop the question. Only you truly know when the time’s right, and this isn’t a decision you want to rush. Falling in love might feel amazing but of course most relationships DON’T end in marriage – and this is for good reason…
- Pay attention – hopefully you haven’t reached the point yet of your frustrated partner leaving their laptop open with ‘hints’ for rings they like. Ideally you’ll want the ring to be a secret, but also something they’d happily wear – and for the rest of their life, so just a TEENY bit of pressure here. You need to be paying attention to any comments your partner makes about other people’s rings, what they do and don’t like, and what’s most important to them – size, clarity, specific details. If you’re really unsure, or if your partner hates surprises, it’s best to propose with a dummy and then buy the real thing together.
- Family matters – tradition dictates that you ask the dad’s permission for his daughter’s hand in marriage, but it’s not so straightforward nowadays. Maybe your partner’s closer to their step-dad, or wants her mum to walk her down the aisle, in which case you’d be better off chatting to them. Maybe they’d find it weird if you went to their parents first, in which case you could ditch the whole thing. Or perhaps they’re closer to their friends and the best idea would be letting your partner’s best mate pick the ring. These things do matter and could come back to bite you if handled in the wrong way.
- Plan the setting – does your partner dread being centre of attention, or are they someone who’d be gutted if you proposed at home, berating you forever for a lack of ‘effort’? Plan the place for your perfect proposal – how busy it’ll be, whether you’ll be able to get a good pic there, and other logistics around it. A proposal at the top of a mountain might sound good in theory but your girlfriend might not actually appreciate it when there’s sweat dripping down her forehead and she’s not wearing the cute dress she’d imagined for the pictures. Personally, I can’t think of anything worse than a public proposal where everyone’s waiting to hear your answer – in a group of friends, the middle of a restaurant or with an announcement at an event. So bear all of this in mind and remember, it’s meant to be about what THEY want, not you.
“The way you didn’t call him out and let him do his thing,” another wrote.
“True love baby!!! Congrats! We got engaged in Hawaii and are getting married on SUNDAY!!!”
“You’re sweet for letting him have his moment,” someone else praised.
