Your boyfriend popped the question, what's next?
Of course, you'll have to realize if you are in fact at the right age for marriage. Youngsters that are 21 years old below needs parents/guardian's consent before getting married. They will have to sign the waiver/document as proof that they allow their child to get married in a young age. You need to check what documents you already have and what else to get, where to get it and how to get it. Upon checking the requirements. You'll have to decide which of the three do you want to settle on.
To be able to get married you will need to apply for a Marriage License.
