I need some help and advice on a proposal idea. My GF and I have talked and we''ve planned on getting engaged sometime by the end of summer....August/September. We will be in Vancouver and Seattle in early August for her cousin''s wedding on Vashon Island, WA. I am thinking about proposing on a Saturday, the day of the wedding, at a pretty awesome waterfall 30 min outside of Seattle. After proposing, then brunch and champagne right above the waterfall at a 5 star restaurant/hotel. Also, surprise her when we get back to Seattle with a night at a really nice 4 star hotel with a premium room. We''re both mid 20''s and budget conscious so we''re not used to living the high life like that. Her cousin''s wedding is later that evening at 5pm.
My issue is that the timing works out to do it like this, but I don''t want to "upstage" her cousin and the wedding at all by proposing earlier that day. Do you think the bride or any of them family would look poorly on this or would they look at it as adding some more romance/happiness/celebration to an already romantic/happy/celebratory day? Another option is to let my GF decide if she wants to tell everyone that day or wait until after the wedding.
I could do it some other time in our own city, but I think the timing on vacation combined with the waterfall and a nice room make it really perfect. I could do it a few days earlier on the trip (Seattle or Vancouver) but can''t afford the really nice room/hotel for more than one night. I could wait until the day after the wedding but we fly out that day and wouldn''t have the nice room to celebrate in.
Any ideas or advice or opinions would be helpful.
