beejhorton -- the photojounalist could easily hide in plane sight on the Mount, amongst the other "tourists" taking pictures and also get random casuals of the two of you throughout the evening

Just thinking out loud again

Hey SS,

Official (or unofficial I guess...) name is Gus' Lodge. Some people refer to it as Mama Lucy's, because Lucy and Gus were the people that started it.

If you want a poetic proposal, you might want to reconsider the sunset to a sunrise.
The start of a beautiful day leads to a beautiful life.

The summit of Rattlesnake Island should be a great place to catch a sunset. If only you knew someone that lived there.
This idea does require a bit of hiking though.

Another thought would be Abenaki Tower or Castle in the Clouds. A photojournalist could easily blend in and catch the fun. DCR is a member of LRCT and might be able to point you to the perfect, off the beaten path spot on the Castle property.

A forum member took his lady out fishing and he (crazily) put the diamond on the end of the line. Proposing over near Spindle Point. Very romantic.

Good luck! Keep us posted on how you decide to propose.
(And how it goes! )

Sincerely,
RG

Church Landing made several accommodations for friends of ours celebrating an anniversary, which also involved a ring. We (me and friends husband) went down earlier in the day and asked for a window seat and a few other things and they said no guarantees, but they would try and they did, everything turned out great.

I think Church Landing is a great place, beautiful grounds and the paparazzi (photographer) might not seem as strange as they have a lot of weddings/parties. Good Luck!!
I also got engaged at the lake last June, not quite as glamorous, on the deck on the hottest day in June. When he got down on one knee I actually thought he fell 

It's not an island, and the view is toward the north, but this would be memorable...

Propose in the water, out a ways on the sandbar, at Ellacoya State Park.

Your photographer can capture the moment with a zoom lens from shore.

Pop the question then kiss and hug her with the lake in the foreground / background of the photo, the islands and hills behind you.

You could proposed in your underwear in the middle of a trash heap - all she wants to hear is that you love her and want to spend the rest of your life with her.
But if you really want 2 cents - stay away from the the cliche' places that she'd expect (Castle in the clouds, Church Landing, the Mount, etc) Put the ring in your pocket for the weekend and the moment it should be will happen for you. It maybe just sitting on a bench in downtown Meredith.
Good Luck whatever you decide - she'll love you for the thought.
