Hey all,
My GF and I are going away to a B&B May 5th and 6th. I am preparing to propose then.
What is driving me crazy is the anticipation. I am going to pick out a stone tonight, and if all goes well, I could realistically have the ring in 2-3 weeks.
If this all falls into place the timing would be perfect...except for one thing: her father''s girlfriend''s daughter is getting married on 4/29. Realiistically I could have the ring and be ready to propose on 4/22.
Like I said, the anticipation is killing me. I keep smiling everytime I think about it and I almost can''t wait for the surprise myself.
My question is: would it be improper etiquette to ask for her hand in marriage the week before a loved one''s daugter is getting married?????
Her father and his girlfriend have been dating for 11yrs and are not married. Her daughter is not the typical girl that expects a lot of fanfare surrounding her wedding. It is going to be simple ceremony and a receiption of less than 100 people.
I am worried about offending the future "girlfriend in-law" if you will, but I also want to begin our engagement as soon as possible because the suspense is killing me.
Can anyone offer up experiences of their own or of their friends that found themselves in this situation.
Regards,

It is considerate of you to think of this, though. I just don't think it would matter at all -- plus, if you and your GF will have an extra-special good time at that wedding if you're freshly engaged. (now if you were planning to propose AT that girl's wedding, now that would be inappropriate!)
