Adding "de" to es ES CultureInfo DateTime C#

Probably dumb question, but I haven't worked with Culture a whole bunch before. The assets for the date need to be:

MMMM dd "de" yyyy (w/o quotes on the "de").

junio 1 de 2015

What I have now:

CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("es-ES", false);
string date = DateTime.Now.ToString("MMMM dd REPLACE yyyy", ci).Replace("REPLACE", "de");

I want to know if there's a "more programatically correct" way of doing this that I do not know about rather than doing the string.Replace

Just quote the literal part with single quotes, double-quotes, or escape each character with a backslash:

string date = DateTime.Now.ToString("MMMM dd 'de' yyyy", ci);
string date = DateTime.Now.ToString("MMMM dd \"de\" yyyy", ci);
string date = DateTime.Now.ToString(@"MMMM dd \d\e yyyy", ci);

Note that in the second option we need to escape the " within the string literal, and in the third option I'm using a verbatim string literal to avoid escaping the backslashes. Using single quotes is simplest :)

Read custom date and time format strings for more details in general about what you can do.
