I know this question. I'm engaged & had to endure the "When are you getting married?" question left & right. Well, we're still 9 months away from the wedding & now inconsiderate rude morons are asking if we're going to start right away on our honeymoon. I just tell them that we will have kids if and when we feel the time is right. Unfortunately, his over-eager cousin got knocked up on her wedding night & is now having a 2nd child barely 3 years after her wedding so she does the majority of the asking. I just smirk & say that when we have kids, we'll do it so that WE can afford to feed & clothe our children rather than depend on our parents for food, rent, clothes, & bills. That is sadly her situation & it's something I will not do to either of our parents. I just feel that if you're married but your parents are footing the bill for everything b/c you just can't afford it, then you shouldn't be getting married or having kids.
Off the soapbox now.
