I'm more interesting than my wedding!

Timmne

Is anyone else sick of being asked how the wedding plans are going?

I must be being asked 5 times a day now by everyone I meet.

I'm getting really sick of it - do people not think I'm interesting enough to be asking me a normal question !!!!!!?!!

I wish I could vent at someone (face to face) but EVERYONE I know is asking me the same question!

I don't actually mind being asked "Have you sorted this yet" or "Who are the ushers" for example - at least it shows the person asking has thought about the question! A blank "how are the wedding plans going?" really, really bugs me.

It may be a man thing.

I hate it too! People rarely ask me now though thankfully. I just used to reply 'pretty much the same as last time you asked me, not much has changed, the plans are still the same' and i think people got the hint.

I know what you mean about not minding an actual question, but a general 'how are the wedding plans going' is soooo ANNOYING (now you've made me mad lol). Actually, if it was particularly bothering me, sometimes I used to reply 'not being rude but do you actually want to know or are you just asking out of politeness or got nothing else to say', that also seemed to stop them asking again.

How are your plans going by the way?




lol

And I thought you were being serious!

What annoys me about it is that we're planning this amazing day for these people and I frankly don't want them to know I managed to get the car we wanted after a bit of negotiation or that the flowers have had to be ordered - they're supposed to be enjoying the day, not knowing every last detail!

:rotfl: i know what you mean, literally everyone i bump into asks the same thing again and again, i only have a week to go though so not long now :eek: the other thing i had a moan about though was loads of people (mainly girls) kept asking me how much weight i wanted to lose for the wedding to fit into my dress , the thing is im between a size 8 and 10 and i bought a dress that fitted me so why would i need to lose weight ? i do worry about some people lol

I guess it's better than them saying "alright mate, don't mention that f*!*in weddin' of yours whilst I'm with you!", or "how's your piles?"

They probably think they're being nice by showing interest in what's meant to be one of the biggest days of your life

you're getting married 8 days before me!

How are the plans going? (chortle)

Problem is, as I've planned our wedding (along with my GF of course), I've developed a complex over how many times I talk about the wedding - even if I only do it when I HAVE to. So when it comes up in a conversation, I really want to keep it to a minimum because I don't want people thinking I'm a bit self obsessed!

I hate even bringing the subject up now and the W word's a bit of a swear word in our house!

Just wait til you get pregnant then :eek: your identity disappears!

Timmne

If I get pregnant I'll be famous!

(I don't think my man parts will cope with the pregnancy though!)

I hadn't thought of pregnancy TBH - when my GF does get pregnant, I can see that being a nightmare!

its not being pregnant when yur identity dissapears its when the kids go to school, you will be forever known as and introduced to other people as oh this is liams mum or lewis mum or who ever your child is, whats really funny is our children were given a surname each ie one is my surname and one is OH surname until we are married, that really confuses the teachers as the kids go through thier yrs :rotfl:

i actually banned anyone from mentioning the wedding in my house roughly 4 weeks even my partner, if any one mentioned anything i waked into another room, it was so funny my mum kept writing lists for when i popped round to hers so she could ask me everything she thought of , im so mean, but now everyone is sorted , paid, ordered etc its all ready to go and i dont think i have anything left to do so im fine they can all mention it again

I clearly remember the wedding stuff as I got married a couple of years ago, and it was actually SO easy. People do not respect your wish to keep things to yourself like what will the dress look like, and now I am pregnant, all people seem to know what to say is 'what are you having' and 'have you got any names'.
someone asked my Mum that and she told them 'she's having ...A BABY!'
AND they feel they can touch your belly EUGH HANDS OFF PLEEEEESE!
Yep I had the silly questions about fittings and I had to put ON some weight to stop my dress falling down!

timne sorry for not getting your gender right i was tired and bleary eyed when posted LOL.

oh i know what you mean, up until I found I was pregnant, everything was about my wedding, and I really didn't find it that interesting to talk about, and I'm a girl, so everyone expected me to be raving about what sort of preferences I had towards napkins. i don't know, ones that don't fall apart???? however, now I'm pregnant the only question is how are you feeling? how's baby? have you been taking care of yourself? (no, I've been bungee jumping without the cord straight into the Barrier Reef) But the absolute worst is the people that think that because you're pregnant they can dictate to you exactly what you need to do. My FIL actually attempted to take my starter from me at a restaurant because it contained cheese. I almost stabbed him. Do people think that pregnancy is similar to a lobotomy??????
