I (29F) am not cool enough to be friends with my brother’s gf (26F)

TLDR; Brothers girlfriend is too cool to be my friend.

So I’m going on a trip tomorrow with my brother, my husband and my brothers girlfriend. Brother and gf have been together about 4 years now and he’s super into her and is getting ready to propose. She’s gorgeous, successful in her field, travels the world regularly and was even featured on Forbes 30 under 30. I’m… normal? A teacher, happily married, outdoors-y.

I’m always super nice and friendly to the gf but I just get the vibe that she sees me more as a fan than a friend. She totally loves my brother, but it just seems like she’s never too interested in hanging out with my husband and I. I just get the vibe that she thinks she’s superior to me or too cool to be my friend. And my husband and I are generally fun, outgoing people. We’re just… idk not in Forbes?

What do I do? I feel like my brother picks up on my insecurity around this and I want him to feel like we’re one big happy family. My brother and my husband are best friends, but it just doesn’t feel like girlfriend and I will ever have that sort of relationship because I’m just not cool enough for her (I feel so silly writing that 😅)
