Hawaii really doesn't have a hurricane season like the Caribbean. I've traveled in the Caribbean many times during hurricane season and never encountered an issue.

The fact that you aren't an OT ballet should eliminate places like Hawaii and bora bora. In fact, son a word of advice... you are setting yourself up for long term failure there. You will always have to "top" it. My recommendation, if you aren't a baller, is a simple quiet romantics getaway with a honeymoon in one of those places (avoid Oahu if Hawaii).

Wtf. I've never heard of an "engagement trip". If you aren't an OT baller as stated, I'm not sure why you'd do either of those places. I proposed in a park for free

Lmao we've been talking about going to Hawaii this fall for a few months now so figured I'd go ahead and plan it anyway, and just slip popping the question in

If you are looking to go to Maui, there are more affordable options around Lahaina and Ka'anapali Shores.
Wailea is nice but pricier.
Just a suggestion but I can't think of a better place to pop the question on Maui than on a sunrise tour to the top of Haleakala

Those are very nice places. I would be dropping that coin on the honeymoon (If she says yes) rather than an engagement.
However if you would like to take a trip to pop the question San Fran/Napa, NYC, Mexico (Tulum) would be some options that wouldn't be as expensive or involved as getting all the way out to Hawaii. Good luck on whatever you decide to do.

As said, no way I'd pop the question on a "trip". First off she may be expecting it, and until you do she'll be thinking about only that. Second, as said, you are setting yourself up for it. If you feel like you need to pop the question on a trip to make her happy, that's not the girl you want to marry. Lastly, what if she says no? Because yes that does happen.
With social media everyone wants to make every event a blowout, but that's absurd. I'd make it a small romantic thing that you can easily top for your wedding anniversary or something.

Exactly this. I did it in San Francisco because we were out there visiting her sister and it is a beautiful place.
Those are honeymoon destinations.

Save your money for honeymoon.
Engagement trip is totally unnecessary

I would propose now, convince her to skip the trip this fall in order to save money for the honeymoon, and then get married a year from now.
This only puts the trip off for a few months, allows you to take others advice on here and not make the proposal a huge elaborate thing, and keeps the wedding from occurring during football season. You might piss off a few people who want to watch the NCAA tournament, but you won't have the extreme vitriol and hate like you would if you schedule during football season. I would imagine that most standard couples stay engaged for about a year, so you need to consider that when popping the question.

What happens if she says, "No"? Does that put a damper on the rest of the trip?

Not exactly the same, but I have a buddy whose GF broke up with him on the second to last night of a group ski trip and told him to act like nothing happened the rest of the trip.

Heard Hawaii is over rated and over priced. Have no desire to ever go there, personally. Would much rather go to the Caribbean somewhere, Mexico, Costa Rica, etc. Engagement trip though, that's funny.

If all else is the same, saying you'd rather go to Mexico over Hawaii is sorta laughable. Hawaii is along way off from the South so airfare is expensive plus its in America so generally hotels are more expensive. The Japanese also enjoy it so that makes it more expensive. Everything also has to be literally boated there, so that makes it more expensive.

Wow. I proposed to wife at home on a non holiday Tuesday at home.
That's?exactly how she preferred it to happen though.
We spent money on a legit honeymoon

Thanks for the input fellas. And yes I know she could say no, but since she's been expecting and waiting for it to happen unlikely but still a chance. Also we've always thrown around the idea of just eloping somewhere and not having a big wedding so it could end up turning into a all in one trip. She doesn't want to spend an absurd amount on a wedding when we could put that on a house or vacation. Which is why I am looking more at Paris now. It's actually about the same as Hawaii, and I'm more of a history guy, which is why I'd like to checkout Rome too, but prob won't be able to happen. Forgot to mention I'm making her pay her half of the trip haha.

If you really want to do the impromptu let's get married on a trip thing, consider San Francisco. City Hall is a gorgeous building, you can schedule your appointment for a marriage license & (optional) ceremony, they let you choose whether to use a smaller room or the rotunda for your ceremony, and it costs around ~$75 total (license & ceremony). We did this---it was totally fantastic, no stress, and we went right out for a fantastic dinner at a Michelin starred restaurant directly afterward. You need official/certified copies of your birth certificates & photo IDs, and that's it. It was totally interesting to see all of the other ppl doing the same thing & quite an eclectic & festive atmosphere among all of the couples getting married who were waiting in line.
(And did I mention we flew free on SW points? LOL.)
International destinations present a problem: paperwork will be complicated, you may still have to get US paperwork either before you leave or when you get back home.
Paris is a great city--you could pop over to your local courthouse, do the deed, then hop on the plane and have a grand time. Take a good pic while you're there & send out a wedding announcement/vacation photo when you get back.
Rome--if you love history, then skip Paris and do Rome. It will probably cost less, depending on the time of year.
