Absolutely - I love the fact that in 16 days time I'll have a wife - but, I don't like the fact that all these people who I've never had a problem with conversation before, now only ever talk wedding!

me too, i met up last weekend with some old school friends i havent seen for like 18 yrs and for at least an hour everyone was talking about my wedding lol i wanted to know what htey had all been up to since leaving junior school.

and i love being liam and lewis mum im very proud of them but when your walking through a big market and someone is hollering at you OH LIAMS MUM to get your attention its a tad embarassing :rotfl:but then running a senior school kitchen i also get loads of the boys from around here walking about shouting out ALLRIGHT MISS what you doing not at school,

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

I know that it drives you up the wall (I can just about remember that far back). It might be a bland catch all question but maybe, just maybe, your friends and family are just trying to show a bit of interest.

I think you should just grin and say, "Oh, we're getting there" (bland catch all answer) and then ask them a question that changes the subject. If they really want to know what colour the bridesmaids are or whether you are haviing a round or square cake then they will just have to ask outright.

Or maybe you could assume the question is a veiled offer of help and say "actually, I'm having real difficulties getting to the printers, I don't suppose you would be able to go and pick up the proof for me...".:rotfl:get them working!

I suppose it is the same as asking a pregnant women approaching her due date "Are you still here then" derrrr, obviously. I always try and ask "how are you doing/feeling?" or even "You're looking a bit tired today, can I do anything to help?"

This drives me crazy too, I was talking about this just the other evening at my parents house!

Since I've been engaged, all people at work ever ask me is 'how are the wedding plans going?' These are people that have hardly ever spoken to me before, that aren't really interested (def won't be invited!) and as my wedding is still almost a year away I feel like saying 'not much has changed since you asked me yesterday!!'

The one other question that they always ask me is 'how are your dogs?' I'm still not even sure how I'm supposed to answer that question other than saying 'fine!'

Just wait... you have the "So... what's married life like then?"...

Because now we're married we'll suddenly have changed??? I feel like saying "Well it's great! We've decided to stop having sex with eachother and sleep around instead. After all we're married now so not like we have to try with eachother!"

What we actually say: "Great! Pretty much like before we got married, but we have some nice fingerjewelery!"

Oh god I hadn't even thought of that one.

At least people should only ask that one once!

Sarahsaver

Oh no they will start asking 'any news...' 'when will you be starting a family' and suchlike! :rotfl:

My FIL actually attempted to take my starter from me at a restaurant because it contained cheese. I almost stabbed him.

lol that would be me too :T

(the stabbing not the stealing....)

In answer to the 'what's married life like' my DH always says - "it's the same as before but she doesn't make my packed lunch any more!" poeple nod sagely and think it's the end of my trying to be a 'good wife' when actually his job has changed & he now has a kitchen so most days he takes in ingredients instead and makes fresh sarnies!

I promise solemnly that if I ever manage to get pregnant (and stay that way for the required time) people can ask me inane questions about it 100 times a day and I will not care!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, best of luck to you impending mums - may your labours be short & painless and your littlun's sleep through the night ASAP!

Yup - but's really quickly followed by: "So are you planning on having kids? Is there anything we should know?" wink wink

*sigh* Yeah as it happens I want kids and we're trying but none of their ruddy business!
