Help me

[adpiucf]

I'm attending a family wedding this fall. My cousin is the first in our generation to be getting married. She is also the first girl in this generation of relatives to be getting married. (The rest of the cousins range from early 20's to early 30's. I am the oldest girl, the bride is 2 years younger than I.)

I KNOW I'll be assaulted by distant relatives whom I haven't seen in over 10 years, who will be cooing and clucking and asking me the dreaded question, "So when are YOU getting married?"

I don't want to insult anyone, but I do find that question to be completely invasive and rude. Is there a ring on my finger? No. Am I shopping for a husband? No. For all they know, I could have just gotten out of a relationship or lost my fiance to a tragic skydiving accident? (For the record, I hate when others ask married people, "So when are YOU going to be having a baby?" What if they've just gotten over a miscarriage? Or they don't plan to have kids at all? It's just such a nosy, yet well-meaning question!)

I don't want to be patted on the head and told, "Oh you just haven't met the right person yet," etc.

Any advice for how to put these people off in a nice way?
