<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

I am in no rush, but I'd like to know where she stands on it. It hasn't come up naturally in conversation at all. I will mention how my friends just got engaged, we have gone to weddings together, so it's not like there hasn't been a chance. 

She is experienced in relationships. She's had at least two other serious long term boyfriends. I knew her since before she dated them, and she seems infinitely happier with me than she was with them. She never talked marriage with them, but she also didn't live with them or take things as seriously as she takes us. 

We live together. We own a vehicle together. We have pets together. We've gone on vacations. My family treats her like she is their own. She doesn't really have family (parents are estranged, no siblings) but her one cousin that she is close to I consider a personal friend at this point. Our lives are merged. She says things how she wants to be with me forever. How she feels something for me that is "beyond love". 

I want to marry this girl but I don't think she'd dig a surprise proposal. I'd at least like to hear that she would want to be married one day before asking. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if she asked me. I don't feel like there is a huge rush since we don't want kids and it's only been a couple of years. 

Is it too forward of me to sit her down and just say "Hey, I'd like to get married some day, to you. Is that something you'd like?" I don't want it to come off as a half assed proposal, though. Please help, reddit!
<bot>: I want to marry my girl. She has never brought it up. What do I say to straight up ask her if it's something she'd like to do eventually?
