Ridiculous wedding questions

Exactly Future MrsEversole!

I've gotten a lot of that. They are so rude. I bite my tongue and tell them "We simply want to take our time and enjoy the planning and fun that comes along with the wedding."

People really do say the dumbest things. We got engaged over a weekend. On Monday at work, one of my coworkers said "Oh well at least you get to keep the ring if you decide to leave him!"

Seriously?! I'm in the afterglow of getting engaged, completely and totally in love with my guy, and you start talking to me about divorce?!

I've had the....

"why so far out"

"don't waste the money"

my favorite was when a co-worker looked at my ring and said "that's not an e-ring" I just walked away. It happens to be very special..it was my grandma's ring. not a traditional e-ring but beautiful.

People are lame.

"I'm invited, right? I just can't imagine missing it...I'd even pay for myself."

A not so good friend asked me this before I even made the guest list.

"I'm going to be a bridesmaid, right?"

An ex friend that moved away that I don't even talk to anymore called me out of the blue the second after I posted were engaged on Facebook lol...ummm heck no!

Ive been talked down to about the length of my engagement too. We got engaged last July, the wedding is set for next April, so a total of 21 months. Longer than some, shorter than others. I think pretty average. And ive still had 11 people tell me if we didnt hurry up and get married sooner, we wouldnt be together in April 2014. WTF? Getting married makes you stay together longer than being engaged? Stupidest thing ive ever heard. I actually had one person (the uniform guy at work) tell me that the DAY after we got engaged.

Oh, and running a close second is my first ever boyfriend, who i broke up and have not spoken more than two sentences to since 2004, telling me i need to let him and his whore come to the wedding because he "played an important role in" my life, and he should be allowed to celebrate with us. Yeah, NO EXES!

Lol wow. btw I got engaged in June last year too!

I knew everyone would have things to share! It is really unbelievable.

Some people really do just love to butt into other people's business; I've found that weddings are one of the topics on which they feel most comfortable inserting their (unwanted) opinions. Second only, perhaps, to pregnancy/child care.

And Chelsea--I had a very similar experience that I actually forgot about until just now. The day after I got engaged, one of my coworkers said something along the lines of, "Well, what's good is that some evidence is showing the divorce rate is on the decline again." Um... thanks?

If I'm sure this time.

(second wedding)

My mental response? "No, I want to go through another horrific divorce. I'd love to up-end my children's lives AGAIN."

fools.

What? Oh man! Well, I have been in a relationship for over 7 years and I only got engaged 2 months ago (on Maui!). People would always ask us when we were going to get married. My reply would be "When he wants to propose to me". How else do you answer that, you know? Oh, and people ask us when we are going to have children, too. My reply "After we are married and ready." LOL

@We'llAlwaysHaveParis I'm so glad I'm not the only one getting THAT question. Some people just astound me.

Since I've had 2 friends get engaged after me - all of a sudden I am crazy for spending the money I am on my wedding and I should do it their way. Why not just rent a vfw like them an save a bunch of money or why does it matter why type of wedding you have, you already have kids. Another one coming was "well we aren't dragging it out like you" really yes by the time I get married it will be just shy of 2 years but we wanted a certain type of wedding and needed to save for it. UGH people

Lots of "Can I bring my children?"

I got engaged last July but it worked better for us not to hurry it right away...these stories everyone are telling are pretty crazy...I am thankful no one has said anything to weird. I have had a few "save your money, go to the court house" but usually they mostly seem to mean it in a joking way.

I had a co-worker notice my ring (we hadn't made a general announcement at work) and ask if we had gotten engaged and I said yes. She asked the date and when I told her she asked why were we waiting so long, we aren't young we should just go do it" or something along those line, I can't remember verbatim but I do remember thinknig to myself, "well that was a stupid thing for you to say"but instead I said "he wants something more than a quick ceremony and I love that he wants to give me that" but insie my mouth was still dropped in awe lol.

I had a co-worker say "And how long do you know this guy? you know you have two girls"....I was stunned. how do I reply to that?

A coworker said I heard you're getting married. I said yes, and then he said I'm sorry. I tried to laugh it off and he was serious then said you'll see. I was kind of annoyed at first but I decided to brush it off. Just because he had a horrible divorce doesn't mean the rest of us can't have a happy, healthy relationship.

I posted last week that a co-worker asked 'how could I afford to pay for my wedding'?

Well, this has reassured me that I'm not the only one surrounded by clods (I notice that most people's stories involve co-workers... why am I not surprised?).

I've been told "Oh are you marrying ____ because of all the money his dad makes ?" That really set me off. Really? why would I be marrying FH because of his DAD'S MONEY?!?!? His dad's money is his dad's money and FH's money is FH's money!!!
