Reality check time! Are you really marriage-minded, or do you just want to have the gorgeous gown, the dream setting, and perfect cake? Take this quiz to find out where you stand on the issue of life-long commitment.
1. When you think of the reasons you want to get married, what do they include?
A) I am hoping to find a solid partner first and then to create a family and share our lives together.
B) A Vera Wang gown, pink tulips, and a Tiffany registry.
C) I'm not getting any younger!
2. When you think of your ring, what do you think about?
A) The person who loves you enough to give you a token of his affection, who cares about what it looks like; it's what it means that counts.
B) Cut, colour, carats, and clarity -- all set in platinum, thank you!
C) Give me on from the gumball machine; just sign the damn papers.
3. When your friend announces her engagement, what do you do?
A) Congratulate her on her exciting news. You know she'll do the same when you meet the right guy.
B) Let her know where you think she should register.
C) Burst into tears and grab a bottle of cheap red wine on your way home to your cat.
4. You're thirty-five years old and unmarried; how do you feel?
A) A little disappointed but glad you held out instead of settling.
B) Bummed; your dream sheath dress is so outdated now!
C) Devastated; you're pretty sure you will never meet anyone at this age. It's all over.
5. Your newly married best friend comes to you in tears. She thinks she made a mistake tying the knot. What do you do?
A) Tell her it's perfectly normal to be a little nervous after the big day, but remind her that her happiness is ultimately important so, if it isn't the right guy, there are more out there.
B) Tell her how sorry you are, but explain she will need to consider the fact that cream gowns don't come in as many options as white ones do.
C) Get angry with her. How inconsiderate to complain after getting what you want so badly!
