    My parents would ask how far along I was if I got dinner with them and wasn't drinking.
    That's why YSIL announced her 3rd so early - she was hosting Thanksgiving and knew she'd get questions about why she wasn't drinking.
    That's how my mom busted me with Wooz.

    I knew that if I didn't take my chance to tell everyone in person, I'd not get a chance...so families knew within an hour of us knowing.
    But I knew it was 'risky'.
    And I forbade people from sharing the info far and wide--although I'm fairly sure they did.

    We told some family we were expecting around 3 weeks.  We were going to Italy with them and there was no way they wouldn't have figured it out.  To be fair, we then told the other parents and grandparents who weren't going on the trip.

    With my SIL I'd have preferred that she and my brother announced before our wedding instead of being uptight pricks because they didn't want to announce yet - his MIL took a pic of him trying to take his frustration with lost keys out on me - Funniest picture of the day! (a set of keys got lost for one of the vehicles, it was getting close to the end of the <stressful> couple days into wedding things, my brother was uptight that we couldn't find them, he wanted/insisted me to climb up into the back of the pickup to look for them... and wasn't "getting it" for why I was telling him I wasn't going to... and finally I just said on-point "DUH!  BIG WHITE DRESS!" it was a drink flies out the nose moment for those around us)

    Take it as a blessing that you know OP - you won't be pouring her a glass of wine for the toast and get peeved when she doesn't drink..  You'll be happier knowing if she's stuck in the bathroom with "morning" sickness that it wasn't from going on a bender and something she doesn't have control over.  Or if she's exhausted and needs to sit down, you know what's going on!  If anything, be thankful she's shared that info with you because not every woman glows during pregnancy, for some it's he** on earth that starts almost immediately.

    Ok, so she probably didn't mean "2 weeks" in the conventional sense, since 2 weeks is your approximate conception date (and it takes AT LEAST a week after conception for a positive test), but I don't fault anyone for announcing early.

    Some people want their family to know because A) they're excited B) they want support God forbid something happened C) they want prayers.  Regardless, if their baby, and they can announce it as soon or late as they want. 

    Just be happy and keep planning your wedding.  I'm sure on the day of, when you're in a white dress and saying your vows, people will be thinking of your wedding, not her pregnancy.

    This is why if there's alcohol that's offered I will always accept at least one, I think my MIL might be ready for a grandbaby even though we're not ready.

    She asked what we wanted for Christmas and my husband said "nothing, just get something for the baby" and I think he's still got ringing in his ears from how loud she yelled "WHAT?!?" He immediately realized his mistake and said "the kitty baby, your grandkitty". After he hung up I told him the word "baby" wasn't allowed anywhere near his mom and that he couldn't give me shit for drinking at any/every family event because we didn't want anyone getting suspicious :P

    I made a similar mistake with my parents. We call our hamsters their grandhamsters and for my dad I got him a fathers day card that said Happy Father's Day Grandpa, it was the perfect card for him and I wished it said Father but then I decided to get it anyways and I figured I'd just sign it from our hamster at the time but he just saw the front of the card and called me and I had to explain that he needed to open the card and it was from his grandhamster, there was no human baby lol.

    This is hilarious! MIL and my mom call our dog "grandpuppy", but I am sure that if we got them a card with a grandparent reference, they would jump to the human-baby conclusion too...

    My sister and I did something similar several years ago with my mom. She was definitely not the stereotypical baby-crazy-wants-to-be-a-grandma mom. My sister had this overnight bag that my mom really liked. The closest thing we could find to it was a baby bag, so we got it for her for mother's day. We made a joke of it and bought her a "grandma" card. My sister was single and H and I were dating and broke so a baby for either of us would not have been a good thing at that time. We watched her face and let her process and panic for like one minute before we told her it was a joke.

    My sister called me probably 5 minutes after she took her test and then the baby was born 4 days after we got engaged. What a selfish cow!  She should have stayed in later.

    But this morning my niece and I raspberried together over FaceTime so I forgave her.

    @drunkenwitch it's definitely going to need a different meaning though. Otherwise we're just huge tossers!

    Hear Ye Hear Ye

    From this day forward  "Ragret" shall mean "Thee who posts self centered bullshit on The Internets and then has a Veruca Salt meltdown and flounces when thine perfect unique speshul situation is not greeted with a standing ovation". Let it be known throughout the wedding message board kingdom that those who do this are henceforth known as a Ragret. 
    It shall be so!
