When you want to get married what do you do?

I've been with my man for over a year living together and I'm really wishing he would propose to me. He has made it clear to me that I am the one and we are extremely serious. I know some of you may be thinking it's too soon for marriage but for us we have been through everything together already and it feels like the time is right. But I definitely wouldn't propose to him first (nothing against girls who do, just not my personal preference). I don't know how to go about this. I feel it would be awkward to bring it up if he is planning on waiting another year or more. What would you do/have done?
