Cheeky Comebacks to unsolicited wedding advice

Many couples are hounded with unsolicited words of advice from strangers, in-laws and family. If you are currently dealing with or want to prepare for the unexpected, ready to fire back with some witty comebacks.

Here are some quick-witted comebacks:

#1 You should invite this distant relative who invited you to their wedding back in 2000!

Response: Thank you; however, we have a few other guests who are on our top priority list. We are hoping this to be an intimate celebration, and only inviting whose who are a big part of our current & future lives.

#2 Why can't children come to the wedding?

Response: Although we love little ones, but we know you have more fun if you leave them with a babysitter for the night.

#3 50% of all wedding end in divorce

Response: Are you speaking from experience? Sounds like someone has bad memories associated to marriage.

#4 Will there be a baby on the way, since your married?! or When's the baby due?

Response: Do you know any good baby making positions? (My personal favourite).

#5 I would have paid that amount on a house

Response 1: That might have been your priority in life, ours was to get married first.

Response 2: We do have a house, and now we want a wedding.

#6 Unplugged ceremony, why?

Response 1: We want our guests to relax, and to be fully present in the moment and have our photos and/or video taken by a professional. You'll be able to take plenty of pictures/videos after the ceremony.

#7 I didn't do that at my wedding, or have you thought about doing this?

Response: Good thing this one's ours.

Furthermore:

• Smile and nod may be the only thing you can do - let the person speak so they feel heard. It's your day in the end.

• Don't take it personally - they think they are helping.

• Don't let others change your mind - if you are adamant, you want "x" for the wedding, stick to your guns.
