About This Quiz

Some of us are ready to get married, like yesterday, while some of us need more time. Some of us are pretty close to walking down they aisle, while some of us don't want to go near it.

Despite how ready or unready you think you are, our quiz will tell you the things you may not be ready to admit to yourself. So are you putting on a front or are you ready to be front and center, walking to your soon-to-be spouse? Let's find out.
