AIBU?

Do you think it's a bit out of order for a sil to tell everyone she's pg on your wedding day [DOWNTOWN ABBEY SPOILER WARNING added by MNHQ]

This happened at my wedding but I didn't think anything of it really


Just thought sil was telling everyone that she was pregnant because it was an oppertunity to see everyone

She didn't stand up and make a speech or anything she just told everyone individually

Anyway afterwards my mum said she thought it was out of order of her and I've just watched the Xmas downtown where mary doesn't announce her pregnancy news as she doesn't want to steal Edith thunder

Anyway what do you think ?

But it hasn't been broadcast at all in Uzbekistan. What about all the people there who haven't even seen Season 1??? We just shouldn't talk about anything on TV until everyone has confirmed they have seen it!

The spoiler is for the US members.

who cares about them and, more importantly, who cares about Downton Abbey Wink

What a daft spoiler warning! The plot of the episode is now far clearer than it was before, and really it is a spoiler if the programme was on days ago!? The sad faces are a bit ridiculous, especially days and days after it was broadcast!

Anyway...

For me I wouldn't be happy, infact my sister recently commented that I should hurry up and get married cos she is planning to conceive in the next yr or so and doesn't want to be pregnant over my wedding....than again this is the same sister who hijacks all my bdays...on my 30th she decided to not turn up until 6pm as cleaning her house was more important, this year it was a major strop over my bday plans guilt tripping me to the point I had to cancel my plans and do what she thought my bday should be like. I would just like one effing day or event in my life where I am the focus is on me.

So it depends really and if it doesn't bother you than fair enough.

Maybe weddings could have a notice board on one side of the room. And people would simply add to it. No major fuss and everyone would be aware of the news.

  1. X & Y got married today
  2. uncle Z has the flu but still came.
  3. couple A are starting to TTC (whoever announces that, anyway? It's like saying, we will have lots of unprotected sex from now on, and preparing themselves to be questioned every month until it happens - idiots)
  4. moh B is on her period. Don't make her cross.
  5. couple C are thinking of separating, but have come to the wedding anyway.

Exactly what I was thinking Gloria.

Ooh, so somebody announced they were pregnant at the wedding then? Utterly pointless!

I'd have been thrilled as I loathe being the centre of attention anyway and it's such happy news.

What a pointless edit by MNHQ - anyone who actually watches Downton will get a spoiler from the fact that that subject matter of the thread title has been linked to Downton Abbey.
