Dreaded Questions

A friend's sister got married a while back. After that, she's been asked by friends and relatives, "When is your wedding going to be?"

When people, in both sexes, get to a certain age, they are asked this kind of question with it's usual variation of "Are you married yet?". But it doesn't stop there, it never does. After the first question, there's "Are you pregnant yet?", "Will you be having another child?", "Oh, congratulations on your baby girl, a baby boy is next, right?", "You have two wonderful children, any plans of adding one more?".

I don't know about people, maybe it's just small talk that sometimes get irritating unless you let it enter in one ear and out the other. And I know that we are guilty of these kinds of small talk, too.
