Help! Sister in Law thinks she is being proposed to on Christmas

TL;DR - My sister in laws dream proposal is happening on Christmas..without a proposal. What do I do?

Help! I (F 29) don’t know which subreddit to post this on, since it is not about my own personal relationship, but it is about information I have about my SIL’s relationship. SIL (F 29) thinks she is getting proposed to on Christmas.

My sister in law has been in her current relationship for about 3 years and we all know that marriage is close and something SIL wants terribly.

She has been talking about how she would like to be proposed to on Christmas with a puppy and a ring at her grandfathers house for several months now.

The other day, my MIL called my husband and I to tell us that SIL’s boyfriend (M 35) took her to look at puppies, they left with out a puppy, but SIL’s boyfriend secretly paid for the puppy, and is planning on giving it to SIL on Christmas at Grandpas house. MIL explained that SIL’s boyfriend said “this is not the big moment, I do not have a ring yet, I just want to know if it is okay that I bring the puppy to Grandpas”.

So then today, SIL called me and told me she has been day dreaming more about her boyfriend proposing on Christmas with the puppy they looked at (she truly has no idea he secretly bought the puppy).

My issue is, I know when she sees that puppy on Christmas that she is going to think that she is being proposed to. I think SIL’s boyfriends heart is in the right place with the puppy, and I don’t want the surprise to be spoiled when SIL realizes she is not being proposed to. Not that she would be ungrateful, but it can be hard when you think something like a proposal is happening, then it doesn’t. I just don’t know if I should give SIL’s boyfriend a heads up as to what SIL might interpret the situation as or just leave it alone? I promise I am not wanting to be nosey/spoil the surprise, I am just concerned about both SIL and boyfriends feelings if things don’t go as they are individually thinking it will.
