The new year is a time when families gather after a long time apart. It’s also the time when we often face difficult questions such as “When are you getting married?” especially for those of us who are single by choice.
So, what are some cool ways to respond to such questions? Let’s take a look at some options:
“I’ll ask the bride/groom” – but I haven’t met them yet
This is a clever response that neither offends your family nor makes you feel pressured.

“Next year!”
This may seem like a near future, but every year has its “next year”. This simple yet subtle response will surely leave your family speechless.
Another cool way to handle this situation is to turn the question around and ask the person who is putting you on the spot. This also hints that you’re still single and could be seen as a request for them to introduce you to potential partners. Kill two birds with one stone!
I’ve chosen the wedding date, but I haven’t decided on the year or my partner yet
This response is playful and humorous, creating a light and relaxed atmosphere for everyone. It’s definitely worth considering!
“I want to stay with my parents”
While this response may not be as cool as the others, it showcases your love and dedication to your family. Family bonds are sacred, and those who hear this response will likely understand and support your choice.
In addition, there is a special day called Black Day (Black Valentine, Black Day) derived from the romantic elements of Red and White Day, dedicated to celebrating singles who haven’t found their perfect match yet.
These witty responses will help you navigate tricky situations with ease. Hope you feel empowered and ready to tackle those questions with confidence! Best of luck!
