"My Last Christmas as a Miss"

[Hohohonooo]

AIBU to secretly cringe when I read posts like this from my friend on social media?! And then to press like, when I'm really thinking "I can't wait for you to get married already so I won't have to listen to anything about your wedding anymore!"

Yanbu. Bores.

Or how about
My first and last Xmas being pregnant with you. Cue nice posed bump picture.

Well no shit!!!

I’m sorry to say Hohohonooo that we’re still hearing aaaaaallllll about the wedding of a colleague. She got married in October. There was a mini-moon, the name change and we’ve still got to get through the honeymoon in February

@DamsonWhine

Dear God, I didn't think about that...her wedding isn't until November, honeymoon also the next Feb, so it's basically still over a year away from being over!

Awww bless her, next she'll have an entire year of my first birthday/christmas/valentines/easter as a mrs! Then she'll get pregnant and there's a whole new slew of cringe worthy Facebook posts addressed to her unborn child.

Sorry but it will never be over. I have similar friends who re-share on the anniversary of their hen do, proposal anniversaries and of course the wedding anniversary. And more.

Saaame, i have a friend who posts #tbt and #fbf pictures of her wedding constantly with caltions like “can i be a bride again” and “take me back”, for some people their wedding really os the absolute pinnacle of their entire lives, it makes me cringe my arsehole off but in a really sad way

Hmm, I suppose the cringey social media posts are here to stay. But once they've done the deed and the wedding day is over, I'll never have to watch 'say yes to the dress' or look at flowers etc on Pinterest ever again!

Someone on my facebooks keeps posting along the lines of this

6th xmas for ---
My 1st as a married woman
My 4th xmas with ---
And 3rd with ---
Also 1st xmas pregnant

Changes on the month/occasion but this is the most recent

A colleague of mine got married in the summer and every event since has been captioned ‘first XYZ as Mr & Mrs ABC’... they’ve now had baubles for the tree and matching pyjamas for tonight

Yanbu... was it exact quote or just an example?

Ahhhh they're just happy and excited! Leave them to it, they're not doing any harm. And you can always "hide" them to stop their posts coming up on your newsfeed.

@thefinn it was a longer post, "my last Christmas as a Miss" is a direct quote from it.

@RedPandaFluff I know, I am happy for them honestly...but it's already been over a year of talking about the wedding and I want my friend back!

I had to unfollow someone for this, I thought it would be over once married but no. It's been monthly "x months since wedding" updates, with photos of the day. And after the event she posted thanking him for "helping" her organise it 😒

It really never ends! I have 2 in particular who had a 2 year run up to the wedding and then the constant '1st/2nd/3rd xmas(or whatever) as a mrs'

One often ends with 'I just love making memories 💗💗💕' or some such twee

Both are currently pregnant and planning Christmas Day announcements with shitty, naff gimmicks too. So hard to keep smiling and nodding 😬

Someone on my Facebook put up pictures of her and her new DH in matching jumpers saying "FIRST CHRISTMAS AS MR AND MRS XXXXX"

They got married in April, surely the excitement has worn off?

Their Christmas tree is also adorned in bespoke baubles reciting the same message.

Oh god YANBU. Today i've seen 'last christmas eve as Mr and Miss' and even worse someone mentioning that it is their dogs 2nd christmas. The dog doesn't even know what christmas is!!!!

I'd rather read that than pictures of piles of presents or pictures of food.

Thankfully my FB “friends” seem to have missed this trend!

I am however seeing A LOT of matching-family-pyjamas-by-the-tree posts. The Grinch in me is adjusting my judgy pants and hoping that those pjs are getting more than one wear

Unfriend. Or beat her around the head with a chair leg.

Do women really still use the title Miss?

I haven't come across a Miss in a long time. The only people I know who use a title, use Dr or Ms, with an occasional Mrs.

Oh I can’t be doing with all that.
I’ve been a Ms all my life - single and married. I don’t see why some women are obsessed with being defined by their marital status.

@theymademejoin - it’s absolutely the best reason for me to finish the PhD!
Probably won’t stop my auntie continuing to send things to Mr & Mrs Husband Surname. I remained Ms MyName.

Yanbu. It’s so cringeworthy. Have to admit I also secretly judge the grand Facebook name change, done within hours of the wedding.
