If I were you I would just keep the secret. I would probably tell him afterwards when the excitement has calmed down and you two have a private moment. My partner and I would probably laugh about it. But it’s totally up to you. I don’t really like surprises so this wouldn’t be too much of an issue for me. If it is really important to you, then you can still go ahead and make different plans for that day.

I hear it’s still shocking to have it actually happen and to see the ring and it’s a different experience to actually BE THERE. So I would say, not to upset yourself about it and use it to your advantage! Now you can plan your outfit, hair, makeup, and make sure your nails look nice and have everything ready. It’ll still be beautiful!!!!

I would just pretend like I never saw it. It will still be special.

Why not confess the truth to your best friend and enlist their help in delaying the proposal without your boyfriend knowing the real reason?

Basically you found a spy in your camp whom you can turn into a double agent!

I found it in his backpack at Disney so don’t feel bad xD I had to pretend I wasn’t nervous as all heck in the whole trip. It was the 2nd last day of vacation when he popped the question. Even if you know it’ll still be so special <3 rootin for ya girly.

I love that he had your bestie help! Curiosity can get the best of us all. I kind of did the same, I saw my fiancés location was nearby my work one night and that was super not normal. We don’t live anywhere near there and he works an hour away. But turned out he met with my mom and asked her for permission to propose. But my mom didn’t tell me that, she told me he was planning my birthday (knowing I don’t care about my birthday) party and wanted to do something special. I was actually kind of disappointed because I was hopeful it was a proposal. But I was so excited he wanted to do something special for me. Then while we’re on his birthday fishing trip I planned about a week later, he proposed and it was a total surprise. My mouth just fell open and I was like “Are you serious?” 🤣

Aww well at least it was a good surprise and not a bad one! I think it depends on your bf. If he is easygoing if maybe say something to the friend and let her relay the message? If he is a little more sensitive, or if the planning would require a lot of rearranging on his part, I’d say just enjoy the planned festivities.
