Wedding season is upon us, which means Saturday evenings full of taffeta, tulle, and too many beers. We tear up as we watch our friends walk down the aisle, full of happiness and excitement for the new couple as we join in their celebration.
As a single girl attending weddings without a date, attention sometimes clings to your dating status. And God forbid you show up sans date after age 30! Inevitably, you end up being cornered to supply answers to any or all of these top five most awful questions to ask a single girl at a wedding:
5. When’s it going to be your turn?
Does anyone actually think the person they are asking knows the answer to this question? I’m currently taking any suggestions of smart-ass-without-being-mean responses to use. And really start to appreciate the open bar at this point in the evening.
4. Don’t worry, when you stop looking the right guy will come along!
Oh. Ok. So I’ll just be over here at the bar then. Here I am. At the bar. NOT LOOKING. Just hanging out trying to think of a smart-ass response to your first question.
3. Are you looking? Because you really should be putting yourself out there if you want to find anyone.
I’m so confused. Isn’t this opposite of what that other person said? Bartender? Help.
2. I just let that cute single groomsman know that you are available and looking. I bet he comes over here any second!
Oh dear God. If that doesn’t scream desperate, I don’t know what does. Not to mention that by now I’m on my third glass of wine so if the super cute and single groomsman does happen to make his way over here, I’m toast as soon as I open my mouth. Someone hide me.
1. Wait, isn’t that your third piece of cake?
Ok. My single status you can question all night. But chocolate cake consumption?
Now you’ve gone too far.
Thankfully all of my friends are married. But, if I have to go to a wedding for someone else, I know every single one of these questions are headed my way. I hate it! If you find any of those smart-ass answers, please send them my way.
Will do! ;)
P.S. I love the bridal gown & your green dress you’re wearing in the picture you posted.
PREACH ON SISTER. Seriously, amen, hallelujah, seconded and co-signed. To all of it.
One of my personal favorites is “as soon as you stop looking, THERE THEY ARE!” If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard that I’d be so rich I probably wouldn’t want to marry – keep all my money for myself! ;)
hahahahaha I love that! I SRSLY need an answer to “When is it YOUR turn?” though! Like, do I just give them a date? And when they are all like “uhhhh” say “EXACTLY HOW THE HELL WOULD I KNOW?!” er….?
