So FH and I were discussing bachelor and bachelorette parties this past weekend and we brought up a few family members and friends who are getting married and are having bachelor/bachelorette parties. I mentioned that a couple of the women we know technically aren't bachelorettes. One because she has been divorced twice and is marrying again. FH disagrees with me. He says that she is bachelorette as she is "single."
I thought bachelorette/bachelor is someone who has never been married before. Kind of like when you fill out a document and you have to check your marital status. You check "single" if you've never been married but if you have then you pick one of the other options whether it's Married, Divorced, widowed etc. Can someone clarify this for me?
Oh and btw, I am not trying to be rude to anyone who has been previously married. That is NOT my intention at all.
