<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

My girlfriend and I have been very open through our relationship about what we want in terms of marriage, children, career aspirations, etc. We will have been together two years this December. 

Recently, we went together and looked at engagement rings and she settled on the one she wants. A couple of weeks later, I went and bought it.

I have talked to my parents [50M and 50F] about it after I purchased the ring. I regret not telling them more about our relationship before now. Now, I think they feel like we're rushing things. They have met her and we have all spent time together on many occasions. They tell me they like her and they told me they are happy for me/us, but they want to make sure I am happy. But we have been serious about our relationship for a long time, are very close, and have talked about what we want. More importantly though, we are happy with our relationship. Just under some stress lately.

I am trying to plan on when and how I want to ask her the big question. She keeps saying it doesn't matter how I ask her - she just wants the ring. I've told her I want when I ask her to be romantic and I want to have a plan.

That's where I'm stuck. I am not really sure how I want to ask her.

I am planning on asking her around March. She graduates from nursing school in May. I recently graduated this past May and have been living at home still to save up money before moving out. I am going to move into an apartment on my own from my parents around April/May. She will move in soon after she graduates. 

We've got a lot of stuff coming up in a few months and it is stressing her out, which, in turn, is stressing me out. Help me make the most of when I ask her, please.
