For some time now I have realized that I would like to marry the wonderful woman I have been dating for the past couple of years.  Recently she and I have discussed the matter of marriage and I think that she feels the same way.  We have even talked about planning one of those Destin Weddings on the beach. I like the idea of having a wedding while standing in the sand with the smell of the salt air and the sound of the surf.  I want to formally propose to her first before we discuss it further.  I already have a great ring picked out.
