Australia’s wedding season is almost in full swing and this can present a problem for one particular section of the population: single people.
These special occasions are all about celebrating long-lasting love and happiness between two individuals.
Of course, with matrimonial bliss front and centre on everybody’s minds, this leaves singletons vulnerable to awkward questions about their own romantic lives.
And surprise, surprise: It’s really no fun. At all.
So even if you don’t mean to pry and hurt some feelings, there are a tonne of awful questions single people really wish you’d quit asking. Take note.
‘Are you ready for the bouquet toss?’
This is one of those strange traditions you either love or you hate.
The problem is, the singles always feel called out as they’re shoved onto the dance floor. And really, it’s plain bizarre to watch a group of people forced to clamour for a bunch of flowers.
So, instead of drawing attention to your single friend, how about you quietly let them sit this activity out if they choose to.

this is exactly what happens, less than 48 hours ago i lived every single one of those questions (bar the bouquet toss) and more. then someone puts a slightly flattering picture of you on social media and people go out of their way to follow up with the same sort of questions...if i had a partner, you would probably know about it, i have a type that is defined by more than just 'single' and asking 'why are you single??' is not complimentary its insulting...
What a cliched list. I don't believe anybody outside of cheesy movies actually speaks that way.
