They are asking whether or not you're ready for the commitment

Firstly, congratulations! I just got married this July, and everyone was asking me that, also.
Depending on the person, it can mean either of those things.
Here's what I found:
If it was a guy asking me, he wanted to know if I was ready for the "ole ball and chain." If it was a woman, she wanted to know if I had my dress, my shoes, my flowers, all of my stuff ready to go.
Now, you can't judge people like that, obviously, but...
ask yourself the same questions. Are you ready for commitment and are you prepared for the big day, period? Depending on how you feel, let me give you an example.
Let's say your husband's name is Jake. You could respond this way:
"I'm ready for forever with Jake, but I don't know if I'm ready for Sunday! There's so much to do! I never dreamed of having so many details to attend to!"
Or, if you ARE ready for Sunday, you could just simply answer yes! And, if you aren't ready for "Jake," well.. that's something you should be taking the time to think about :)
Either way, hope you have a beautiful wedding, and congrats again!

They probably mean are you ready for commitment you ready for what married couples face like love, commitment, or a life time together. Probably just making sure this is the guy you want to spend the rest of your life with, making sure your not making a mistake and back down on your wedding, its better to figure it out if you love someone before you plan the wedding, than call if off right in the middle of it.

They want to know if you're ready to be married and be committed for the rest of your life. So many people look down on marriage these days. When people find out I'm engaged some have actually told me that my life is over. I think this says more about them than it does me. You are probably thinking positive things about being married and that's good. Just be happy and tell them that yes you're ready, that is, assuming you are.

It is December, so the breeding season has begun. Find a small pool or wetland fen where you can meet a male.
A male will build a shelter to house your eggs by burrowing into the soft mud. A male may attract up to ten females, and even build an additional burrow if the first becomes filled with eggs. A typical female will lay up to 38 eggs, but don't feel put off if in your first breeding season, you are unable to produce more than 15-20. This is normal.
Once the eggs are laid, the male will fertilize them. Luckily, you won't have any additional obligations at this point, and you are free to go. The fertilized eggs will take 4-6 months to hatch, or when the rainy season comes again. Your tadpoles will develop in 6 to 8 months.
You are a Corroboree frog, right?
Best wishes!

mostly about the commitment part.you cant just break up with your husband.but others may be asking if you are prepared.i think you should ask yourself this question and not be bothered by others asking you this all the time.
you know i have been with my live in boyfriend for 3 years.it almost like marriage.i dont think it ties you down or its a ball and chain.its a commitment between two people.it shows to the world you are happy with each other and in love(i would hope).good luck and congrats.

they can mean a number of things by saying this.....
i would think are you ready for a long life ahead of you....are you ready for a family? are you ready to get on that highway that you have been driving since you were born?
marriage is exciting and adventurous! and what better person to spend it with than your spouse!? go places, see things, explore the world together! i have and its amazing!!! and i will continue to learn and love!
some people just choose the "married life" i choose to embrace it.
CONGRATS AND GOOD LUCK!

Getting married is a life changing event, like having a baby... doesn't necessarily mean you are tied down but you life will definitely be different

I would say it means both. They want to know if you're ready for a serious relationship with someone because you can't just break up, you have to go through divorce etc. Also, they mean are you financially ready.

i know its an annoying question. I understood this when my sister got married.
theyre just pretty much asking if your ready to accept all the responsibilities and compromises that comes with marriage life. Some just ask it to scare you (jelous people). any ways wish you a happy married life
