We have talked about marriage and kids and have decided we want both but he's taking his time to propose. He tells me he loves me and would marry me all the time. What shall I do wait or ask???

 A year is not too long that you have been together...I wouldn't be too worried.
Give him some time, perhaps he is waiting until he has saved some extra cash or paid off a loan...
My Dad waited to propose to my Mum because he was in a job that was travelling a lot and wanted to wait until he had a steadier job that meant he was home more. He also wanted to save some more cash so they could go on a nicer honeymoon and have more cash for a house.
I would consider those sorts of things. He sounds like he loves you a lot and is just making sure he and you are really ready - be that in an emotional or financial sense.
Calm down and enjoy the time you are spending with each other. That is the main thing, not the proposal. You are in love with him, not the idea of marriage?

 Wait...... maybe he has plans.
But if nothing has happened in another six months then go for it and ask.

 Ask! ideas are constantly changing and who's to say that men have to ask women in this day and age? Fair enough he may feel slightly emasculated but it can be just as romantic if a woman proposes and also with the female condition, men will know it's from the heart a lot more.
