    There's really not enough detail here to give a good answer. Some of the questions relate to your relationship with your bf (how long you've known him, how old you are, whether you're both financially stable and you've talked through all the major issues like kids, career goals blah blah). The other detail relates to your dad. People can live with liver disease for decades, depending on what kind of disease you're talking about.

    This second one is important because you don't want to use his illness as an excuse to rush into something BOTH of you aren't ready for. You may be...but where is he? The other risk is that you don't want your wedding to be sad or bittersweet, and your dad probably won't want that, either. What happens if you plan it around your understanding of his "timeline" and something causes him to deteriorate quickly. What then?

    I'm not saying don't do it, because it could be an amazing gift to him. The part that's slightly concerning is that you can't sit down and talk to the guy you think you're ready to marry. A lot of your focus is on the wedding and your dad's illness, which is understandable. But the most important issue is the lifetime you're committing to when you walk down that aisle. So make sure you can talk to him about anything, and then sit him down and let him know your thoughts. Just speak from the heart but don't try to dictate anything. You're just trying to understand what he thinks about it all.

    If you have mentioned marriage and he has not responded to it, then no matter how you go about it you will be pushy.

    If he isnt ready and your force him into it, itl likely ruin your relationship before you even get down the isle.
