New York: How do you know when you're ready to get married?

Carolyn Hax: When there's no question you'd still be with this person unmarried. When you'd gladly elope except that it might make your mom sad to miss it. When you're not looking for marriage to change anything about your lives together except your tax-filing status.

I could go on, but wouldn't want to keep you guys waiting for the next question. Snort.
