Single ladies, how do you respond to "why aren't you married yet?"

The bonus to me not being married yet: My parents have had time to go to many tasteless or plain out tacky weddings. They also did quite a bit of stuff for my brother's wedding themselves. Their response to this? "Honey, when you get married we'll just pay for whatever you want."
It might me long coming but it'll be pretty...

Same here. My dad has said that my potential wedding will be "whatever I want." Of course probably not six figure budget "whatever I want" but enough for me to have something nice. I'd probably just do a small deal anyway (i.e. a Sandals destination wedding or something) and use the rest of the money for a down payment on a home.

Ugh, I got too many combinations of "Are you seeing anyone?" "When are you going to get married?'" at a cousin's wedding this weekend that I stopped counting when I hit the double digits. This is why family get-togethers make me ill. And I've got three cousins that are currently engaged - one who's my age, one who's 20 and one who's 21. Yay. I really wanted to be snotty and respond that unlike one of my younger cousins who's already on round two, I'm planning on only doing this once, but I didn't.
