The minute the ring is on that finger and get engaged, you will be expected to share your proposal story and start your wedding plans. What you might not expect is that you’ll get a lot of weird questions like this…
So when’s the wedding?
Calm down, folks! You might just have the ring on your finger, but a lot of people will expect you to have it already figured out and set in stone. Plenty of couples simply want to enjoy their time in post engagement bliss but close friends and family may unintentionally burst that buble. If you genuinely have no idea or you simply don’t want to share any details just mention that you are considering your options right now but you’ll let them know more later.
How big is the ring?
Well its not like you inspected it before you say yes. And of course, you can’t help but wonder why they’re asking. The perfect response? ‘It’s the perfect size for me… I love it!!!’
How much will your wedding be? How much are you paying for that?
Well that’s really no ones business at all. Some people are just curious and others think weddings are an open book and it’s okay to talk about finances. Why not turn the question on them? You may either get an excuse or you could end up getting some good advice on a deal.
So……. When are you having kids?
These questions and pressure start more after the wedding but you will get it soon after your engagement too. We say just mention “oh, when we’re ready” and nip it in the bud. It’s no ones business when and if you decide to have kids.
