To still laugh about the time I "embarrassed" DH?

[ChocolateThroatSweets]

DH and I got married nearly 2 years ago.

When we gave notice there was a couple just coming out of the room, who'd just given notice themselves.

As they came out and we were called in I said "congratulations on your forthcoming wedding" to them and they said the same to us.

DH still talks about the time I wished a strange couple congratulations and embarrassed him. In front of who I don't know? Not like the officiate cared and the couple clearly didn't. He still tells me I drew attention to the fact they where a same sex couple and we should of just left them to their business. I never in the exchange of congratulations mentioned the fact that they were the same sex.

I laugh everytime he tells this story, I honestly can't understand what is so embarrassing about 2 couples congratulating each other on their soon to be marriage.

AIBU or have I missed something about this scenario that was in fact embarrassing to DH?

I don't see what's embarrassing about it OP. It's your husband who has the problem. What an odd thing to keep bringing up.

Did he think you were trying to be all ‘look how inclusive I am’ and making a big point?

I wondered that too.

Otherwise his embarrassment is really odd.

2 years later and he still thinks this story is hilarious?

Are you like the couple off Catherine Tate 'you aren't ganna believe what she did'

People live like this ?

OP??

2 years later and he still thinks this story is hilarious?

No I think the OP finds it funny.

Her husband just seems to constantly tell this non story 2 years after the event.

Maybe op is trying to make the "look how all inclusive I am" point here too? Why else is this non event still causing ructions two years later?
Would you have congratulated any other couple (of complete strangers) on their upcoming nuptials, op?
I don't think I would, really. It seems so unnecessary, and not particularly sincere...

Are you like the couple off Catherine Tate 'you aren't ganna believe what she did'

It's the only logical explanation. I've read a lot of odd shit on here, but this may be the biggest non event that has been posted.

I think I shall start a thread about how I bought sugar free beans two years ago by mistake and my husband still brings it up and finds it embarrassing.

Sugar free beans are bad though....

This is true any fucker, I should have found a more benign example...

This reminds me of the time when I was pregnant with my DD. I’d been in and out of the hospital for a few days as I was late and having dizzy spells. Whilst in there we met a youngish couple similar age who were also having the same issues as me.we were all getting on great. The Thursday whilst the doctor was booking me for an induction the couple came in back in and she was in early labour. The next day as were going in for the induction we saw the husband coming out and he informed us his wife had had the baby at 4am. We had a quick chat and said fair well. I had my daughter 15 hours later. The next day I realised she was on the same ward as me in the same area literally right across from me, the husband came to pick her up and he came straight over to me to see how I was feeling. We were talking for quite a while. When they left the young girl next to me found it strange that a random guy would come and talk to me like that. I explained the situation but she still thought it was weird. So now we met some great people who have a daughter with the same birthday as my daughter. I haven’t seen them in 6 years, but I always think about them on my daughters birthday.

It does sound like he has an issue with same sex marriage. Like one of those people who can just about accept that it goes on and shouldn't be criminal offence but don't want to see gay couples "flaunting" their relationship or "rubbing people's faces in it" by outrageous behaviour like public hand-holding or a quick peck on the lips.

"By all means let them get married but don't draw attention to their deviance by congratulating them"

I'm not quite understanding this or the mirth it has created but your dh doesn't come out of it looking too good does he?

It doesn't sound like he has an issue with same sex marriage - there's not enough information to deduce that. It's more of a case of you both needing to move on from this quite frankly odd and pointless event.

Buying steri milk instead of pasteurised ?

No. That is also a LTB offence.

That about sums it up.

Yes, I'm struggling to come up with a more benign event. Blue socks instead of black.?

Agree, with others, you both need to move on op. Neither of you are covering yourselves in glory here. It's just odd that this should be such a big thing to you both still, you must be a right hoot at parties.

you must be a right hoot at parties.

'Remember the time when the bus was late and I decided to get a Twix bar from the corner shop and just as I was leaving the shop the bus turned up and I missed it!'

"You tell it better, I'm mad I am"

"And then I had to wait another 30mins for the next bus... and you know what... it was on diversion!"

I can't believe such a total non event is still a: being brought up by him and b: deemed funny by the OP
