Getting married in college isn’t exactly the norm these days. So, I can understand the surprise it brings to people. However, there are a few comments I’m pretty sure some of us are tired of hearing.
1. “How old are you?”
Yes, we are like 12 and basically babies. Clearly, we’re in our twenties, and yes we are aware of how young we are. If you don’t already know our ages… maybe it’s because it’s not really any of your business. We know have a lot of life left to experience and it just so happens we’re choosing to start experience ours together.
2. “How many kids do you have?”
People assume that the only reason he would want to marry me is because we have children together. As if obligation is the only logical explanation. It’s like he just loves me or something which I know sounds crazy.
3. “When are those kids coming?”
Well, very personal but as of right now we’d like to just enjoy each other’s company. And let’s be honest we just started taking care of ourselves, so I think its best to hold off on raising tiny humans for now.
4. “Get ready for.. (insert stereotypical advice)”
This actually seems to be more of a guy thing. Older men really just want to share all of there “sage wisdom” (rolls eyes harder.) This is not to say that we don’t want actual advice, but if you’re just going to spew comments we could’ve heard on ANY sitcom than we’ll take a pass on this little chat.
5. Are you going to finish school?
Maybe people really are concerned with my education or maybe they just don’t what to say. However, I checked the 2017 marriage rule book and guess what I don’t have to drop out of school and start immediately popping out babies.
6. “We’d invite you but your married now.”
OK, since when did married people get banned from group bowling? We’re still allowed to have fun. We’re just a packaged deal now but, it’s fine we probably wouldn’t have showed up anyway (it’s still nice to be invited.)
7. “Oh, you wouldn’t understand your life’s perfect.”
That one is actually the most comical just because we’re married doesn’t mean our life is automatically perfect. It is definitely far from that. We have a whole new set of issues to deal with people! Yes we are very happy but that doesn’t mean everything is like fairytale.
