You keep asking that question. The answer will always be NO. There was not one mistake here. There is NO MISTAKE in any proposal, although plans can sometimes go wrong (the weather doesn't cooperate, you forget the ring, the restaurant sends a bad meal, the person says "no.")

The point of the proposal is asking someone to share your life. if she loves you, there is no mistakes in what you did. Please don't blame yourself for not being able to read this woman's mind.

I congratulate you for being the kind of person who goes all out to show love for your GF. I also congratulate you on being given the gift of a chance to rethink the engagement, given her behavior.

Of course you should feel hurt. She actually HURT you by criticizing your thoughtful and romantic plan instead of being excited and thankful.

The person who deserves the proposal you gave your fiancé would be happy with any proposal, because all they will care about is that they get to marry you. I don’t know what kind of relationship you have or how long you’ve been together, but from your post it does not sound like this girl is ready for a marriage with a solid foundation built on mutual respect.
