Social Grace answered a letter from Confused in Tucson today about how to handle a prying grandmother. Lazy Susan insisted on weighing in too.

So you and your lover have been dating for a while and it seems like everyone wants to know when you’re going to tie the knot.

From your friends, to your family – heck, even the guy at the local pizza place, no one will mind their own business. And if you happen to be somewhere wedding related — an engagement party or a ceremony — it just gets worse.

Well, if you and your honey are as sick of hearing that annoying question as me, then I’ve got some surefire responses to stop these busybodies in their tracks:

1. As soon as he leaves his wife.

2. We already got married last month. Oh, shoot, you didn’t get my invitation?

3. As soon as I meet that special someone.

4. We’re waiting until after the baby comes.

5. Do you want my boyfriend’s phone number? Ask him.

6. You ruined the surprise!

7. As soon as we can get approval from his parole officer, it’s a destination wedding!

8.  We keep trying but apparently cousins can’t get married. Who knew!?

9.  Our attorney said we should wait until the wrongful death suit is settled.

10.  He can’t marry me, because he’s in love with you! (Then run away in tears.)

As awesome as it would be to see the look on their faces, if you’d rather go with the tactful response, check out what Social Grace advises.
