Your score: ________
(12-20) The classic bride
You’ve been planning this day since you were a little girl, but you still need a long engagement to pull off your ultimate dream wedding! Tradition is very important to you and you’re not willing to compromise on your vision — fairy-tale dress, your handsome prince and 300 guests at the clubhouse is how you picture your perfect day.
(21-28) The 21st century bride
A cocktail reception is more your speed than a formal sit-down dinner. You love tradition but you also like to mix things up, and you understand that it may be your special day, but your guests are as important in making it successful as is the perfect bouquet.
(29-36) The free-spirit bride
You’re the ultimate modern bride. A destination wedding, perhaps? An avant-garde dress that really makes a statement? Or maybe it’s just a really great party that you crave. Your expectations are focused on the marriage rather than the wedding, and all you really want is the man you fell in love with.
