I know soooo many people that just rush into things and in most cases, those marriages ended in divorce. My cousin married a girl before moving in, that's the worst mistake anyone could make because once he lived with her, he realized they just couldn't co-exist in the same house. Since then he's divorced that girl, rushed into another marriage and that one is in a divorce, now again he found "THE girl", so it won't be long before he's married a third time.
Marriage isn't bad at all if you're in it with the right person. I love my wife so much and could never see myself without her.

Why did it take you 10 years to learn you wanted to marry this girl? What did you possibly learn in 10 that you didnt already know in 2 or 3?
Not questioning your choice, just honestly curious as I have found the complete opposite. Every couple I know that were together for 7+ years and then decided to get married are miserable. Most likely due to the fact it was a "shit or get off the pot" thing. If it took the guy 7 years to propose it means he was holding out and settled. Or the girl was holding out and finally relented.
Both my brothers (who are older) gave me sound advice when growing up. Make sure you enjoy your twenties and sow the wild oats. When you're in your late twenties/early thirties look to settle down and fine the "one", just make sure she's lived her life as well. Every couple I know that got married out of high school/college ended up either divorced, miserable or adultery.
