Not wed and not dead
“Before I got married, I had this aunt whose hobby was to tease me during wedding receptions. Every time there’s a wedding, she would jokingly tell me in front of other relatives and friends that ‘it’s my turn,’ even though I had no boyfriend. It irritates me that she thinks mid-20s is too old and that I should marry. I was a bridesmaid 7 times before I got married, so imagine how many weddings I attended, including those where I am just an ordinary guest. It’s so embarrassing to be the center of attention.
So one time during a funeral of a relative, I stood next to her and whispered, ‘Your turn.’ From then on, she stopped teasing me at weddings.”
