You never plan a wedding
Have you ever dreamed of your ideal wedding? Do you find it ridiculous to hold a traditional ceremony to celebrate your love for your partner?

You're afraid of commitment
If you find it hard to commit to a long-term relationship, it may be a sign that marriage isn't for you. This event is a serious commitment that asks you to cherish and love one person for life. If you don't feel ready to keep that promise, it may be best to explore other options.
