Okayy, i was just wandering, how did you guys break the news to your friends??
I will be getting married iA in Pakistan (I’m from the UK) to a really sweet guy, I have actually known him for quite some time from when I have been going over and plus because he lives close by over there so I have really gotten the chance to meet him.
Anyhoo, I’m 18 which is why I’m kinda a little apprehensive as to how my friends will take the news. when i get married ill be 19 though. Some of my friends I know will be really supportive and fine with it whereas others will be like ‘what, no wayy, your too young’ i dont agree with that however, since i am really mature for my age and i have thought this all through to no end lol.
And also, its not like i will be putting my career on the back seat, after getting hitched ill be coming back here and starting uni. that wont be a problem since i wont have to stay home looking after hubby and in-laws so i will have every opportunity to get my degree. Also, it will probably take him a couple years to get over here which means ill have even more time to get to know him before starting our lives together in the true married sense.
Lol sorry for the ramble/story of my life, but I really was just wandering how should i tell them? shall we arrange to go out for a meal and then i break the news to them or just text them (I know kinda lame lol)? I really don’t want them finding out from others as i think that’s soo rude, I want to be the one to tell them. Also how should I answer any questions that they might have, like ‘are you crazy??’ Lol.
Re: How did you tell your friends you were getting married?
Firstly Congrats!
Anyway Sadia. I would probably tell them all at once and in regards to going out for a meal that sounds like an option. Also you could invite them over and tell them then.

Good Luck
Aww thankyou. Yeah I think telling them altogether might be a better option so then we can just all talk about it answer questions etc.
Re: How did you tell your friends you were getting married?
Just say you met a really nice guy and you’re planning on getting married.. If they’re worried for you or think you’re too young just explain like you have here that you’ll be back here for uni and so on..
I’m not normally in favour of teen marriages but you sound like you have things figured out :k:
Re: How did you tell your friends you were getting married?
Yeppp the only reason I myself am happy with it is because the guys a sweetheart and plus I am absolutly definitely still getting my degree. And yhh ill just have to explain all this to them.
Re: How did you tell your friends you were getting married?
Sadia: Getting all your friends together for dinner & tell them in person is a good idea. That's what I would do if I were in your shoes.
BTW, I would also recommend not waiting until everything is final. That might come as more of a shock & some of your friends might be hurt/offended that they didn't have any clue this was coming. I would strongly suggest you let them know this is coming (ie. let them know in person that there's a guy you've been talking to, your family approves of, and there is a strong possibility an engagement may be announced soon). This way the initial shock/questions will be over. Your friends will have some time to get used to the idea so when you actually announce the official engagement.....hopefully it'll be full of happiness instead of being interrogated. :)
Re: How did you tell your friends you were getting married?
Well they may be surprised/shocked...I would be too because i also believe that its quite a young age to get married. However, at the end of the day i also believe its not only age but your mental status and stability in life that matters too in such decisions. So what matters is that you know what you want, you are satisfied and you are going for it. If they are your real friends, they should be happy for you.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. I don't want it to be such a shocker. So how much in advance should I tell them?

The earlier the better. Plan a dinner for next weekend! The more time they have to adjust to the idea that you'll be getting engaged and then getting married…the better is it b/c it'll give them a chance to get used to the idea & get all their questions out to you. I'm not sure why you already haven't told them that you've been talking to a guy.
