I recently joined the Engaged Girl Club and in my short but thorough journey with The Club, I’ve learned a few things. The biggest one? People have a whole lot of unsolicited opinions. And weird questions. And entitlement issues. How have I learned these things? Because people say some weird shit to newly engaged people, including but not limited to the following head scratchers.
1. Well, it’s about time!
I mean, have you been sitting around waiting with baited breath? Didn’t realize I put you through that.
2. Wow! That was fast.
Either it’s too fast or too slow. When will someone be like, “Wow, you waited the perfect amount of time?”
3. Do your parents know?
No, actually I’m telling you before I tell them.
4. Have you set a date?
Yeah, actually, I spent the first ten minutes after the proposal ironing down venues and dates.
5. Are you sure he/she is the one?
I’m mostly just sure you’re overstepping your boundaries.
6. I can’t wait to get drunk at your wedding!
Yeah….no.
7. How did he ask?
Ugh, don’t make me tell the story again.
8. Oh my god, I’m shocked! I can’t believe you’re engaged!
….Why?
9. How many carats is your ring?
You’re really going to ask me that? #Tacky.
10. I never thought this day would come!
You mean the day I officially decide to not be your friend? Yeah, it’s here.
