My girlfriend's mom won't leave me alone!?

Here is the situation. I have been dating my girlfriend for about 4 years now. she and her mother have been pestering me about proposing to her and getting engaged. im pretty sure she is the one but i dont want to do it yet just because they keep pestering me about it. i want to have some element of surprise at least when she doesnt expect it. Well this halloween my gf and her family are going to Disney in Orlando. I had already told my gf months in advance that i was not going to go on this trip with them because of school, and i have been to disney 3 times in 3 years with them so im not really up for it. We are from Houston so it is a pretty long trip. So the past few weeks my gf's mom has been calling me, emailing me , texting me and everything about me going to Disney in Halloween with them so i can propose there. I keep telling her no that its not what i want and i dont really like disney and i have school but she keeps telling me shell pay for it and i can fly up friday after school and fly home sunday so i dont miss school and she just wants to see her daughter have her dream. she is like trying to plan my proposal and stuff and i kind of want to do things on my own. and i dont know what to do. i feel like she is trying to force me in to this disney trip.

give me some advice great relationship people lol thanks sorry the story was so long

Update:

i appreciate the great responses so far. thanks everyone

    tell your girlfriends mom that you want to plan it yourself. that you want to make it special your own way. tell her that you want it to be a surprise and thats why you havent done it cause they will be expecting it. tell her that you will make her daughters dream come true but in time and in your own way.

    If you're planning to propose, sit down with your girlfriend and explain to her that you understand that she's ready to be engaged but that it's important to you to be able to ask her in your own way. And that having her and her mom pressure you all the time is making that very difficult. Ask her to trust you in planning it the way you know she deserves.

    If you're not planning on proposing anytime soon, come clean and tell her that while you're happy in the relationship, you're just not ready for that step. And the pressure is making you very uncomfortable with being around her family.

    Either way, tell her mom that you understand that she's only trying to make her daughter happy but what would really make her daughter happy is knowing that you did this because you wanted to and not because you were forced into it. She needs to back off.

    You need to have a talk with the girlfriend. Tell her that you are into her and think that she is the one. Tell her that people need to be mature to make the marriage decision bc it's for life. In order to be responsible and mature, the P's need to stay out of the picture about life decisions. You are adults! Say all of this in a nice way not to make her feel like she did anything wrong and ask her to talk to her Mom.

    you may desire to come again to words with the actuality which you're SCREWED!!! No! you may not save seeing the two in case you desire to stay with your manhood intact! in case you do away with mom (annoyed or no longer) your lady pal will locate out, no rely what. using fact a mom that would try this for the duration of the 1st place might show satisfaction in hurting her daughter, and she or he would be ready to tell her finally. recover from your self and do in no way try this back.

    Tell both of them that what is the point of proposing if there is nothing special about it and you only do it because they won't shut up about it? If she wants you to propose to her daughter, then she needs to shut her trap and let you do it yourself.

    You should talk to your girlfriend about this.

    Tell her that you want to propose to her..but on your own time,and when YOU want to do it.

    And ask her if she will tell her mom to back off a little.

    That it is making you feel pressured,and its making you uncomfortable.

    You're too damn young to get married. Graduate college and get a good paying job. Then worry about marriage.

    Mortgage before marriage.

    Tell her mom to straight up back off.

    You will propose when you think it's the right time.
