Brandon Marshall is growing up after all.

The Broncos wide receiver had a Pro Bowl season as proof. But Thursday night in Honolulu, Hawaii, Marshall proposed to Michi Nogami at Roy's of Ko Olina, a restaurant across the street from the Pro Bowl teams' resort. Fourteen other guests attended the dinner.

"It's me taking a step back and looking at what's important," Marshall told the Denver Post's Mike Klis after Friday's AFC Pro Bowl practice. "What really solidified it for me was coming out here and seeing guys, bachelors at the pool with their girlfriends, and then looking at guys like Peyton Manning and Troy Polamalu and Casey Wiegmann with their families. And looking at them, I said those are the guys I want to be. You could see their peace. That's what so important for me is to have peace. And this is the ultimate step to achieve that."

Marshall has had several off-field woes since being drafted in the fourth round by Denver in 2004. Marshall was suspended for three games for off-field problems at the start of the 2008 season. Marshall appealed and the suspension was reduced to one game.

Marshall and Michi began dating when they attended the University of Central Florida. They will iron out wedding details after Sunday's Pro Bowl.
