Just Engaged and Proposals

How to Deal with Rude Comments Towards your Engagement.

Does anyone have to put up with rude people after you've gotten engaged? And the only thing you can do is just bite your tongue and move on?

I don’t know how many more snarky comments I can deal with...

The best thing I've decided...is to just start making fun of the comments I've gotten, with more snarky comments to fight back..

1. 2 days after being engaged my fiancé and I got this gem.
"Oh, you bought her ring there?
Do you know there is a reason they sell rings cheaper there?"
- I'm assuming this girl is slightly jealous.
- "Well, yes, but can someone that didn’t spend a majority of their early life working in a retail jewelry store tell that we got this perfectly beautiful engagement ring at a wholesaler? No? They can’t? Oh, well then why would you ask something like that?"

2. "Well, the last wedding I went to, was an open bar"
 - "well, if you would like to pay for everyone’s drinks, please hand your credit card to my wedding coordinator at the beginning of the night, and I would be forever grateful, because I sure as hell can't afford that. I didn’t plant my money tree outback yet"

3. "Oh, your parents are paying for a majority of the wedding? How much?"

- "uh. Yes. Yes they are. Sorry, I don’t know who even told you that, but it’s really none of your business anyways. A monkey’s uncle could write a check and I still wouldn’t tell you how much it’s for."

4. And, my personal favorite;
"Marriage is just a piece of paper, we don’t need that to show that we love each other, you guys are just ridiculous"

 - "well my friend, we've been together 10+ years, we're just going to go ahead and make it official. if you don’t like weddings, you can go ahead and check off the "No, I will not be able to make it to ruin your special day with my lack of smiling and enjoying myself because I'm a jealous b*tch" box.
