16. What’s the best part about being engaged?
  1. The sparkly new piece of jewelry to show off!
  2. Telling all my friends the romantic story of how he proposed.
  3. Knowing that I’ll be spending the rest of my life with the person I love.

Your score: Give yourself one point for every “a,” two points for every “b” and three points for every “c.” See how ready you are below.

16-26 points: Run away from the chapel.
While you may love your boyfriend very much, you’re clearly not ready for marriage right now. Maybe it’s just too soon in your relationship and you haven’t yet had those discussions about the future and what you both want. Or maybe you’re just not ready to settle down. Whatever the reason, don’t make such a huge commitment until you’re really ready—no ring or fabulous party is worth a lifelong commitment you aren’t sure you want.

27-37 points: Trying on dresses for size.
You may not be ready to get married tomorrow, but you’re in a place where a lifelong commitment isn’t sounding so bad. You and your boyfriend have started having the important conversations, but before you slip on that ring you need to make sure you’re both on the same page with what you want. Remember, there’s no need to rush, but if your relationship keeps going the way it is you may be wedding planning soon enough.
