If you've both reached the stage where you're seriously contemplating spending the rest of your lives together, then you would be well-advised to choose one or other of the following options open to you, i.e. the Fiancee and/or Spousal Visa, since Visit/Tourist visas for UK entry are extremely hard to come by these days ... even though they're a much less expensive method.

Whatever route you eventually decide upon, I wish you every success, and would like to take the opportunity of welcoming you to the forum.

I'd like to thank the annonymous member who very kindly nominated me for a Reputation Comment for this post. Mindful of the stiff competition [read 'friendly rivalry'] one is up against on our highly entertaining and informative site (grovel, grovel ) may I add that it is greatly appreciated.
