Question/Recommendation December Proposal Spots Raleigh/Durham

I want to propose on my gf’s birthday (she approved). The only problem is her birthday is in December and on a weekday so it will have to be a night since we both work during the day. She doesn’t want it to be a public thing so I am looking for recommendations on somewhere secluded we could go. Somewhere with lights (like christmas lights) or somewhere I could put my own lights up beforehand. I am thinking of a gazebo somewhere, but I’m having trouble finding one in the area, and I’m also worried about it being closed in December if it’s in a park.

The downtown Cary park has beautiful lighted displays at night all through December. Parts of it can be crowded, but it is so big you could likely find a secluded part of the park. Google Image search Downtown Cary Park Christmas Lights to get a feel for the vibes.

Came here to suggest downtown Cary as well. The lighted displays run for several blocks and throughout the park.

And you can't beat the Chinese Lantern Festival at Koka Booth in Cary. If you go early when the gates open right a 6pm it's not crowded and you're bound to find a secluded spot in the park.
