How's married life?
Does everyone else find themselves answering this question 5,000 times a day?!
I know people mean well, or are just making conversation, so I usually answer great!" and move on, but just between us...it makes me want to scream.
Please share any witty (or even different) responses so I don't bore myself to death the next time I have to answer this question!

I was thinking the same thing, I didn't think I remembered seening an announcement, but Congrats!!!
I hate this question to, so I have started being sarcastic, about it. Saying, "it's amazing..." although it hasn't been so wonderful lately, I am hoping that it all about to change!
I think the questions just change. When you weren't dating anyone seriously, it was "are you seeing anyone?" And then when you're serious with someone, it's "when are you going to get married?" Soon enough it'll be "when are you going to have a kid?" and then as soon as you pop one out, it'll be "when are you having another?" And then maybe the questions stop being about you, and start being about your kids.
Exactly! People just want to make small talk when they don't have anything else to say. I hate this question tho. I always say it's the same as before, only I have a 2nd ring and longer last name to space for when I swipe my card at check out
I just tell people it's the same... just legal now! I mean... we've been together 5 years, lived together for 3. We've got jewelry and a piece of paper now.
Oh... and some fabulous photos and memories!
Same annoyance here...everyone keeps asking about our first married Christmas and/or New Years. Same as last year.....
I need to start coming up with ridiculous responses to this question.
"Ehh.. for my first marriage, it's going pretty good. Learning lessons for the next time around.."
Now, I've only used this on my close cousins at Christmas because I was just saying how it's such an awkward conversation, and the next group of fam that showed up were asking me, one after another.. so that was my response. At first they gave me the snark face, then everyone laughed. Sometimes you need to be fresh so people realize how ridiculous it is to ask how our first Married Christmas morning was.. when it's our 4th Christmas - all we did was add some bling.
It sounds like all of us are getting the same question a million times. I was hoping for better responses, but I as well just say great and move on with the conversation.
I have already been getting the question about having a child soon. I gained like 3 pounds (it was the holidays, I'm allowed right?) and they assumed already. My response was, "thanks for calling me fat, because I'm not pregnant!" People do not understand how annoying/hurtfull they can be. And sometimes things are private and people don't want to share everything right away! I just wish they would think and remember when they were newlyweds and allow people to live their own life!
