Rant: Is anyone else sick of the phrase "Marry my best friend?"

I agree with Pan. My hubby is my best friend, I definitely realized that when we were on a break a few years ago, he was always the first one I wanted to tell things to, hang out with, etc. But I don't find the necessity in saying that all the time. Obviously we are way more than friends too.

The most annoying over used phrase I'm hearing is "the wedding went off without a hitch!". Ugh, isn't the whole point that you got hitched?

LadyHopkins and Serenity, you're not alone. DH is my best friend. We were platonic for a long time before we got together. I laugh with him like no one else. We talk about everything. I don't think it's putting him on the same level as my friends. I think it's about the two sides to a marriage, because I agree friendship needs to exist in a relationship for it to last. He's my best friend, and the man I love and want babies with. Love alone does not make a relationship work.

4 days till I marry my significant other? Doesn't sound as exciting. Being on ww we all hear the same phrases a lot, so it can get annoying. I can tell you that If I never hear the term furbaby again I wouldn't mind. I always picture a furry baby that should be featured on discovery channel.

I call my puppy and hamster my Furkids and my birds are called Fids (feather-kids)

I agree it's overused. I haven't used it...ever. I, like some other ladies, feel that my best friend is my moh. The two of us girls have literally been together since the very first HOUR of kindergarten lol. However, I can understand the ladies who do prefer to use the phrase. Everyone's relationships are different...one person may honestly be marrying her best friend, someone else may be marrying the one person she's been able to be truly open with or passionate with or whatever else with.

My Joshua, who serves as a police officer, often refers to me as his "half unit". Not because he believes I'm "below him" or "only half as important as him"...but because we are each other's partner...equals. (sometimes, yes, "partners in crime" with some of the mischief we get into lol)

NO!? lol

Well at least I'm not.. because its TRUE haha He's my BESTFRIEND and i really can't wait until "I marry my best friend!" lol.. (sorry if I irritate you with this comment)

And I totally respect that you're sick of that phrase

I'm sick of a lot of things...

So agree

Man, i hate it. Mostly bc FH isnt my best friend :-) i love him very much and he is my partner in crime but my best friend doesnt lose his title just bc im getting married

Pan, I miss your old avatar. :-(

I refer to FH as my 'almost husband'. I just think it is weird to say fiance, sounds pretentious to me(silly, I know) He is definitely my partner in crime and I am totally stealing the phrase 'ultimate booty call' so love that lol

I also hate baby bump. I think it sounds very childish, especially when you are referring to such an adult event.

Pan, I miss it too. I didn't even realize that it was you posting until someone referred to your post. Then I had to scroll back and find which one it was lol.

Stop making me work for my Pan-isms!

Mr S i have to agree about Pan's avatar...I saw a comment replying to a post of her and i'm like "Pan isnt on this thread, I cant find her!" Lol until I saw ur post Mrs S and realized there was a change. ahahha

It's just the haircut and my Fall makeup. I'm incognito ;D

Oh Pan, there you are!!!! Hi!!!

H is my favorite person. Not exactly my best friend. If he was my best friend, who would I call when I need to complain about his family? That's why you need a best friend! lol.

I think pretty much any phrase becomes gag-worthy when it starts showing up regularly on FB statuses.

I hate the best friend thing too. Best friends are constantly changing. How many have you had since 2nd grade?

Ha too funny, yes he's my Best friend but I won't say that cheesy line lol

F@Lizz M. feel free to use it! hahaha I think my great aunt Myrtle's wig might fall off if I use that during a reception toast or something

Lisa, I have one from kindergarten. It's hard to keep in contact though since he is against technology and I don't live near by heh

We joke and say we are partners in taking over the world lol

"149 days since I married the best sex I've ever had!"

lol.
