A big NO. wait till you are 21 and till then just keep watch over your girlfriend's changing attitude/taste or your own. It will be enough time for both of you to decide what's next. And As I have always told my client like you here it goes again " you see marriage is not a destination of heavenly pleasures, its the beginning of a new life which gives growing responsible each passing day with some babies to look after till they are 30 years old (you shall be a lucky father if can make them stand for themselves early ), and the LED bright beautiful light you imagine out of your married life shall soon get fuse without a warranty of replacement". Bro please don't get too exited into entering the place which have no way out and if you must take you own time. in lightyears.
