My DD went away for a few days with her OH & their 9 month old.
DD was looking at fish in a stream and turned to say something to OH and he was down on the ground. She wondered what the heck happened, totally puzzled, and then he proposed - I hate to think how many poor animals & wildlife were suddenly scared out of their skins if she screamed with delight! (I haven't seen her yet for a full chat about it).
She wasn't a bit aware of his planning, and he had the ring with him, the right size, too!
She has older DC who stayed at home because of school (they said they were fine with mum & stepdad going away for a few days without them as they'd have school, anyway), and they were very happy to find out mum was now engaged!
DGD asked if she'd have to wear a dress for the wedding? Lol
Family don't pitch in and help
