~ Here's a Hot Tip ~
More often than not, when someone finds out that we're going to get married this year, she (it's usually a 'she' who will take note of weddings) will invariably exclaim, "Oh! Wow! So many people are getting married nowadays! This is the nth wedding I've heard about this past [insert time frame]!"
And the killer last statement:
"I'm going to go broke!"
I'd like to state for the record that this is a LAOYA reaction on so many levels. Here's why:
When a couple announces that happy nuptials are in the making, the targetted response is sheer, unadulterated bliss FOR THE COUPLE WHO MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT. Not for your daughter's piano teacher's niece. Not for your estranged classmate whom you've barely exchanged two words with in the 6 years you shared a school desk with her. Not even for your best friend's dog who met a poodle in the park and went the family way. And certainly not for Elton John.
Congratulate the couple. Make them feel that theirs is the only wedding that matters this very moment, and that they make SUCH a handsome couple and will have bright and gorgeous children. Mentioning total strangers' weddings takes the wind out of their sails, and tells them that their happy news is nothing but ordinary. WRONG! To the blissfully engaged couple, this news is the biggest surprise of the CENTURY, and is The Most extraordinary affair since cloning. Act like it is, and you'll secure your wedding invite to both the ceremony AND the reception.
