Your life is now going to change completely. You are a team and need to work together to make it a great change. You guys need to make sure you communicate, always see both sides of the problem and don't just focus on your needs.
It's going to be a journey man, marriage is A LOT of work, and as many times people say that to you, you're going to be in for a surprise as to how much work it really is. My wife and I both work really hard to make each other happy even when we want our way, and want to argue for whatever reason... when that happens we recognize that its happening and one of us will call it then we realize that we're doing something stupid and we stop and make up.
I highly suggest seeing a marriage councilor when you get married... Yes, even if things are peachy and great, still go see one... It will give you a map on how things work and will help you out greatly down the line. A lot of people are against counciling because they think that only people who have problems go see someone... That is 100% not true. If you value your marriage, spend a tiny bit of time to ensure that you guys see eye to eye on everything because you'd be amazed at how much you will differ.

Dan said it best - seeing a marriage counselor even if things are looking wonderful are a great start to a great marriage. That way you can get everything out in the open and have no surprises 5 or 10 years down the line.
Congratulations man - I am getting married in November; trust me - THE day comes faster than you can imagine!

thanks you all
Thank you all.. today was great and I have never been so happy in my life. Brucelee you are right seeing a advisor and that is even something we talked about before I popped the question. The best part of it all is to see the look on my girls face and how happy she is, o be honest I have not really been nervous about this whole thing buying the ring or asking her I've been more excited........
Thank you again to everyone for the support even if we have never met.....

Congrats man!
True love is hard to find, sometimes you think you have true love and then you catch the early flight home from San Diego and a couple of nude people jump out of your bathroom blindfolded like a goddamn magic show ready to double team your girlfriend..

Congrats again Nick!
Marriage is a really great thing but prior to marriage is the Fiance' stage...I suggest and recommend that you both enjoy this phase, as its a very important marriage building stage of a relationship IMHO.
Married life is very much a puzzle, putting all the right pieces were they belong, sometimes you grab the wrong one and you need to rethink what goes where...the choices you make as to what goes where and HOW is what will make your relationship what it is or isn't.
I agree with brucelee, take the time for you and your loved one. Spending time to reflect on things you honestly couldn't even think about yet b/c you haven't been married is a good thing. Also just be open to everything, as closed mindness is what kills a lot between two people who were once in love.
speaking from experience that is really the small tid bit of advise I can give.
Congrats on one of the biggest steps you will ever take and hopefully the last one you will take (until kids are involved).
