<human>: I was going to post this to /r/relationships but realized that this is less of a question and more or less something I just wanted to say. 

I plan on marrying my SO of 4 years within the next 1 to 2 years. We are high school sweethearts. She is the only sexual partner I've ever had, the only real girlfriend I've ever had, and vice versa. Because we are young, people have always doubted our relationship in general and tried to downplay the seriousness of our relationship. 

We have a dog, a cat, we're planning out our finances together, we've lasted through thick and thin, and we've pushed each other to grow and become the people we are today. She is my friend, the love of my life, and my biggest role model all wrapped into one.

I plan on saving up cash for pre-marital counseling (I don't feel that we need it, but it will save us cash on our wedding license and it can't hurt), finding a ring, and popping the question. We have already talked about being married and she's open to it and ready to move forward whenever I am. 

I'm 20 and she will be 21 soon, and I can already see people on both sides of our family talking shit, flipping out, whatever, and I don't give a fuck. I realize that I have held off on this impulse because I was afraid of what other people would think or what they would say that is just plain stupid. I literally have a cousin who was jealous of us because we live together and she didn't move out until she was in her late 20s (and moved out with a BF, at that, not on her own accord). 

Anyways, to anyone else out there in an identical situation, GO FOR IT, ASAP. If you know she's the one and you have more going for you than just love and chemistry, do it. We aren't going to have some $20,000 wedding coupled with a million dollar honeymoon, we're just taking a step forward that's past due!

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: Fuck what anyone thinks, I'm going to marry my SO! We are ready and there's no reason to wait.
