<human>: My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years, living together for 1. We have a great relationship and have talked about getting married in the not too distant future. 

We just want to be in a steady place first. We have a beautiful house together, and he recently went through a career change that is working out great.

My crazy part. I would like to be married within the next year, preferably over the summer. Reason being that my grandfather most likely won't live out another year. He's 85, and has had 2 strokes in the last year, among many other health issues. He's been rapidly going downhill, and can no longer do things for himself. He's mentally fine, but not physically. He's clearly depressed. He can't do anything that he loves anymore.

My grandfather has always been a big influence in my life, and it would mean so much to me, and him, to have him at my wedding. Since we have plans to be married, I feel like I should be able to talk to him about this. We don't want a crazy extravagant wedding anyways. I'd be willing to get married in the yard.

If he wants to wait, that's fine, I won't be upset. It's a big commitment. BUT, my SO has a tendency to look too deep into things, and I don't want him to feel that I'm trying to pressure him into anything.

Would it be okay to ask him about this? And if so, how would I go about it without sounding insane?

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: SO and I plan to be married later, but I would like it to be this summer so my grandfather will live to be there. Not sure how to approach it.
