Hi, I'm new to the forum and for the most part to online posting in general, so please forgive me if I do something wrong!
My girlfriend and I just arranged a month long trip to South East Asia (Vietnam, Thailand, Bali). The last week of the trip, we're going to Bali for a friend's wedding.
She and I have talked about eloping or having an abbreviated engagement for a long time - neither of us wants the fuss of arranging or even participating in a big wedding. I've spent the last 6 months designing a ring and searching for the perfect gem (fair trade, color change, purple/blue sapphire) which I just found yesterday.
Tonight I had the idea of proposing underwater on a dive in Bali (she loves diving even more than I do). My thought would be to propose on the dive and we could get married on the beach the next day. We've already talked with both families about the possibility we might show up engaged and/or married one day, though she's asked me to make the details and timing a surprise. My initial thought is to take laminated cards with me from the states for the dive, the first saying "will you marry me?" and the second, assuming she nods yes to the first, saying "tomorrow?"
This is just an initial idea. Does anyone have any other suggestions of how to propose or any recommendation of where in Bali (or Thailand or Vietnam) would be a good place for this (dive site, dive shop...)? Thank you for your advice in advance!
