I know! I loved it that whenever C. and I were running around doing wedding prep the SOFT OPTION of not having to explain all the time (I'm out as poly, sure, fine, but sometimes you're just trying to buy some damned shoes or tablecloths or bras, you know?) was that people assumed (correctly) that we were marrying one another and then left it at that.
And nobody flickered. I mean, with one or two exceptions nobody was at all unpleasant when we DID explain, but when it was apparently Just Two Women? It was... just like being nice normal engaged people. Congratulations and She's Lovely You're So Lucky and We Sell The Cake Toppers As Individual Pieces These Days You Can Mix And Match (actually we did Playmobil) and all that.

So yeah, I had the exact same reaction.
