when i was engaged everyone asked how the planning was going.  like, literally every person i hadb't seen in 2 weeks or more would ask.

we bought a house 1 month before our wedding so people have been asking about that now.  but it's still weird becuase all my conversations were wedding related for the last 16 months!

    LOL, I feel the same way. People asked me about nothing but the wedding for about 15 months, and now that's done.

    Now people are telling FI and I what a beautiful wedding we had and how it was the best wedding that they've ever been to. I guess I soak up those complements for awhile : )

    I find I'm getting a lot of compliments abou how gorgeous the wedding was, how no detail was overlooked, etc. And I have to admit I LOVE those. I put a shitton of work into that sucker so it's good to hear that. I'm also getting a few "now that it's over is there anything you would change?" questions.

    People are asking us how we're settling into married life, but other then that I'm not sure what to say. Life is normal again.

    haha!  we got so many compliments at our wedding about how nice everything was, how beautiful the ceremony was, how we looked and a lot of people said the reception was "classy" which was weird...it's weird because we were going for 'casual+rustic' but i'm glad people didn' think it looked cheap!

    we just went back to work today adn have only gotten "so, how was the wedding and the honeymoon?"

    We got a lot of compliments in the 2-3 weeks following the wedding, but that ahs died down a little bit. Now people are waiting to see the wedding pictures and so are we!!

    </div><div>Ugh, BARF.  I can't wait to answer that question.  My sister actually texted me the day after the wedding asking when we're having babies (I think she was mostly joking).  My response was "you're kinda interrupting right now" followed up with an immediate "jk, none of your business." I'm hoping scarring her will keep her from asking inappropriate questions.  When non-immediate family members ask, I'm not sure how I'm going to answer. Hopefully no one starts asking any time soon.</div><div>

    We are already getting this question!  My mom made this remark the other day..."so when are you gonna start having kids?  I'm not getting any younger you know"....seriously, we just got married, we will have them when we are ready or if it happens before then it does, but we aren't going to be pressured into having kids right now just because other people want us to.  Sounds a bit harsh, but we actually had this question thrown at us for the last couple years before we even got hitched, so it gets kind of old after a while.

    I AGREE!!!! My wedding has consumed my life as well as those around me...so now it is so weird not to talk about it or doing something related to it. We were engaged for 2.5 years...so it is very weird. We own a house, and like yall have said...nothing more exciting. :( Bittersweet for sure!  I am even bored at night now when I get home from work...I dont know what to do with all this time!!

    At least I can throw all the attention that I used to give to wedding stuff into finishing my Ph.D.! I'm actually applying for a fellowship and the application is due in 6 days...so I feel like i went from being super stressed about wedding stuff to being super stressed about this application : /

    Yes, good luck Nic!! We are currently living in a "modern situation" (words of my step-grandmother)....we have a roommate. We're hoping FI is going to get a job he's supposed to interview for soon *crosses fingers* and that would allow us to move, so we'd finally be on our own. If that doesn't happen, we'll be in this situation until August. It's fine, we all get along, I just refuse to use any of my new kitchen gadgets.

    Our roommate is ready for us to have babies!!! He keeps telling us all of the time "I wanna hear the pitter patter of little feet!" I'm like, holy cow, slow down!! We want to wait around 3 years or so, and at least LIVE ALONE first. H's mom is ready too. We were going to fill my birth control prescription and she was like "that's one you don't have to fill." Why does everyone assume that you have to get married and then immediately become a baby makin' machine?!
