Why do people push marriage so hard!?

Dani • Let all that you do be done in love 🌹

I’ve been with my boyfriend for about 8-9 months now. We just bought a house together and everything is great. I am really happy, more than I have ever been. But every time I tell people about my relationship and how we bought a house they say “so when’s the wedding? I mean you can’t just plan on playing house without a ring forevaaaaa”. I know he wants to marry me and I’m ready whenever he asks but it frustrates me that people put these expectations on OUR relationship. How can I tell people to mind their business in a nice way cause most of these are family members? 🤦🏾‍♀️
