Everyone is jumping on OP but does he/she say anywhere that this is her child? Just says it is a "young adult."
Who cares. Same advice: grownup and do it yourself or don’t get married

* Scenic Location: Choose a beautiful, meaningful location such as a favorite park, a beach at sunset, a mountaintop, or a place that holds sentimental value for both of you.
* Personalized Touches: Incorporate elements that are special to your relationship, such as photos, favorite songs, or inside jokes.
* Surprise Party: Organize a surprise engagement party with family and friends right after the proposal to celebrate the moment together.
* Creative Proposals: Consider a flash mob, a message in a bottle, a romantic scavenger hunt leading to the proposal spot, or a surprise message in a public place.
* Capture the Moment: Hire a photographer or arrange for someone to discreetly capture the proposal, so you can cherish the memories forever.
* Incorporate Shared Interests: Plan the proposal around an activity or hobby you both enjoy, like hiking, cooking, or a favorite sport.
* Private Dinner or Picnic: Set up a candlelit dinner or a cozy picnic in a private setting where you can pop the question in an intimate atmosphere.
Remember, the most important thing is to make the proposal authentic to your relationship and what you both value.
Yuck.
What is this? How to marry a cheesy internet influencer or a lift from some gossip rag?

Do not wait to propose.
Do not hem and haw and wait for some perfect event or trip or planned BS. Just propose at night on the couch. Be a man.

No no no
Parents do not help their adult son propose.
Or are you going to walk your village to her village and check out the dowry? Ride white horses or elephants? Pick your poop.

Stay out of it, but offer one piece of advice: if you're planning an elaborate proposal because girlfriend expects/demands it, rethink what your marriage will look like.

The best thing a godparent can do it emphasize that staging a proposal scene may be fun, but marriage should be a mutual decision, and they need to be thinking about how to create a marriage in which she's not the one carrying the mental load.
Beats the hell out of a princess-cut engagement ring.

The only person I ever helped with a proposal was when a friend asked me for a referral for someone they wanted to pay to make something to aid them in their elaborate plan. So I knew early, and I referred them, and I stayed out of it, and it went well.
We need more content here. Is this a 10 years younger friend at work, or a child, or a nephew who is proposing to your college roommate's daughter so you are close....?

If he asks for help when they decide to have a child, politely but firmly decline.
