Be honest and blunt. Tell her you're not ready. That's how Clint Eastwood does it.

Don't get married. Her princess fantasy isn't your responsibility.

Procrastinate and hem and haw. Pretend that you will propose by a certain date in order to placate the dad, then start a fight or something so you guys are on the outs when that date comes. Then the timer will start over again and buy you more time.

Some girl's dad's bucket list does not dictate what you should do in your life. If they are going to put you in that bind, then you will have to use tactics to navigate around it without pissing them off too much, as its still in your best interest to be on their good side.

I disagree with the first paragraph but agree wholeheartedly with the second.

I would just be straight with her and her father.

"Hey I like you, feel you are amazing, but you're asking me to commit to marriage and I'm not ready. I get that your Dad is sick and wants to see his princess marry her prince and turn into a queen. However, I want to get married for me when I'm ready, that's not now.

I don't feel it's fair for you father to put this unneeded pressure on this relationship, if he feels he wants to see you married in the next 2 years that's fine, I'm just saying it's not going to be me. So in order for you fulfill his dreams, I'm ending this so you can find some guy you can marry before he moves on. I however won't be that guy."

Tell her it's not an ultimatum, it's just you can't be pushed into it. It's just not whats best for you if you're not ready.

Pick better women.

It seems like many guys here pick emotionally un-centered women, because frankly they need that validation type relationship and then it turns to shit because of that same thing that got her. Its a great feeling when a chick is ready for marriage 10 mths in...its an ego trip sure, but dont be surprised when that same chick isnt emotionally centered enough to realize that her father's wishes are unrealistic. When you date an emotionally centered woman, most of these simple issues dont come up because the chick is rational enough to understand marriage isnt something you do for your dad.

Likewise, be a man. An adult. All this hoping she cheats so you can have an excuse is childish. You dont want to be with her for a legit reason or incompatibility ..end it or address as an adult. Date emotionally centered women and be emotionally centered yourself. Solves 99% of the relationship issues on this forum.
