*Shepard once again meets the face of the woman he had fallen in love with, feeling his heart racing with more passion and heat than he had ever known before his own death. He swallowed, gathering every last piece of resolve he had in his body before taking the velvet-covered box from it's hiding place. Everything seemed to slow down to a crawl, taking a few precarious steps closer to Tali before dropping to a knee before the quarian.*
Shepard: Tali... I...
*Tali tilts her head to the side curiously, her expression one of abrupt confusion. Tali crouches to meet Shepard's face, bring her hand to his cheek, her concerned voice speaking free of distortion.*
Tali: Shepard...? Are you alright?

*Shepard can feel himself sweating beneath his armor, suddenly aware of just how hot it was inside the suit. His lips quivered as he spoke, struggling to find the words after fumbling with his usual deft brilliance.*
Shepard: Tali... Please, I need you to stand up.
*Tali tilts her head to the side, concern clear in her voice.*
Tali: Why? What's wrong? You're scaring me...

*Shepard sputtered, making a vague upwards gesture with his free hand, breathing a sigh of relief when Tali hesitantly stood straight. Shepard crooned his neck upwards to gaze at the beautiful face he had dreamed of and the woman it belonged to.*
Shepard: I'm sorry... It's just... The woman is supposed to be standing for this.
*Shepard slowly opened the lid on the velvet-covered box, the snap almost definingly loud inside his own nerve-wracked mind, to reveal a ring nestled in the silk interior. A band of refined platinum, the metal taken from the Normandy's hull and shaped into something comfortable to wear, encrusted with the finest gems and diamonds Shepard could find. Tali's silver-starred eyes widen at the obviously expensive piece of jewelery.*

Shepard: Tali... You mean everything to me. I can't wake up in the morning without thinking about you. I can't sleep at night unless you're the one holding her arms around me. I have dreams about you. I used to only have nightmares... After everything that's happened... I can't think of anybody I would rather have at my side. You were there for me when the entire galaxy turned it's back on me. You give me a reason to keep fighting. You give me something to hope for. I love you. And...
*Shepard pauses, every single atom of his existance holding it's breath as he let the most important question he ever asked anyone slip past his lips.*
Shepard: ...Will you marry me?

*Tali's eyes widen, her mouth left agape, silent as pure and complete shock struck her. The silence of Rannoch seems to last an eternity before Tali erupts into a furious string of babbling.*
Tali: I... But... You... Me... We... Married...? Keelah... I don't... Umm.... What... I...

*Shepard resists the urge to laugh at his lover's nervous babbling. He had seen her go toe-to-toe with krogan battlemasters and not even flinch, but she was a nervous, hand-wringing wreck whenever they were together. After what felt like hours, Tali finally shouts her answer, complete joy and jubilation in her voice.*
Tali: Yes! Keelah, Shepard, yes!
*Shepard finally exhaled, removing the ring from it's velvet case and sliding it onto Tali's finger, thanking whatever cosmic force that was listening that it fit. Tali brought her hand up to view the jewelery up close, tears welling up in her eyes once again. Their eyes meet, Tali smiling and bouncing on her toes before launching at Shepard in a pounce, pinning his armored body to the ground beneath her.*
I like this moment, but I don't know about the ring for some unexplained reason it seems a bit off.Lividity Jones wrote...
