So I'm a few months from proposing and have an idea laid out. My GF has mentioned a wedding venue in her hometown that's beautiful, and there's a park near it that we had a picnic at last year, beautiful spot. I'm planning on proposing there.
Has anyone brought family and/or friends in on the secret to get someone to record the proposal and take pics after, and if so did it work out? I've already talked with her best friend about rings (to figure out what she wants without giving anything away) so at least one person knows, and she'd be the one I'd likely ask to be at the park.
I also think it'd be real cool if I took her from the park to her parents place and a few family/close friends were there to celebrate...but then that's another group of people who know/might spoil the surprise. But even then, I plan on asking her fathers permission so he'll at least know too (and would never keep it from his wife), so it's not like this will be a complete surprise anyway.
Just trying to get some thoughts because I'm INCREDIBLY torn on it. Thanks!
