Scoring
MAXIMUM As: It's clear that you are wedding obsessed. It's healthy to dream about getting married, but you may be so focused on the status factor or the ceremony that the event becomes more important than the person. It also doesn't help that society puts tons of pressure on working adults to marry. It may start with your mother breathing down your neck to find someone and is increased by attending friends' weddings and feeling left out. In turn, you hope every guy you date will be ‘the One’.
MAXIMUM Bs: Sure, you're excited about getting married one day, but you aren't exactly impatient. You have high self-esteem and good perspective. You know there's time to find someone, so you're able to be happy for other people at the wedding stage without grumbling to yourself 'Why isn't that me?’ Of course, you may occasionally fantasise, but you do it realistically.
MAXIMUM Cs: You're more comfortable being a wedding basher than attending a wedding bash. While it's fine not to get wrapped up in the ‘getting-hitched’ hoopla, you should get at the core of your anti-wedding attitude. Your cynicism could be a cover for your fear of being hurt or making a matrimonial mistake. Cheers to you if you simply have no desire to get married because you feel fabulous single. But if not, talking to a friend who is happily hitched and asking them how they took the leap of faith might do the trick.
