Technically, when you get married you become a Mrs. (which is a shortened term for an archaic word mistress meaning the mistress of the home). Mrs. is also used by widows.
Miss. is a word for a woman that has not been married.
Ms. is a title used for a woman whose marital status is unknown or irrelevant (as in business). The letters Ms. (pronounced Miz) are not an abbreviation of a word, they are an amalgamation drawn from the letters of Miss. and Mrs.
So if you get married you could properly use Mrs. or Ms. but not Miss.
You can call yourself anything you wish - provided it's not fraudulent and you're not impersonating somebody.
The convention for females is that you use the title Miss if you are using your own surname and Mrs if you are using the surname of your male companion. So its...
Miss Elizabeth Taylor (even though she was married 8 times)
Mrs Tina Turner (Turner was Ike's name - they were never married)
And you can call yourself Ms if you can't make up your mind.
