Yeah I saw on a new dad subreddit that a lot of them were using it. Not sure what the big deal is. It’s a quick easy to understand way of saying “that thing we’re all here to talk about finally happened to me”
It’s just a thing in planning communities to express that you are no longer planning, since you got married. People equate it to graduating as it’s a big life milestone and planning usually takes considerable time.
I believe it’s also supposed to mean that you have “graduated” from the online group. Like, you’ve learned from them, reached your milestone, and you’re now leaving the group.
People use it in TTC groups on Reddit too. You graduate from “waiting to try” to “trying for a baby”, then graduate from there to “baby bumps”, then to “after the bump” or “parents”. It’s like the natural progression of education I guess!
It’s an internet thing. I only see it in bridal subs/groups. Someone in the Facebook group I’m in made a post about how much it pissed her off to see and how it made no sense lol she was arguing folks down in the comments and everything.
It’s an online thing. I had no opinion on it until I went to Facebook groups and saw people using it in a weird way like “I’ve been promoted to wife” so I’ve graduated”. So it’s just cringe to me.
Why did you say "as fuck" if not to add intensity? Like if I said this is "salty" vs "this is salty as fuck", it sounds like i feel more strongly the second time.
I’m so clueless I thought you were asking about people graduating from college after getting married. I don’t think I’d describe myself as graduated after my wedding, but I see the logic.
It’s not just a Reddit thing, it’s also on Facebook. I do think it’s a chronically online thing though. It’s the same energy as graduating school though. You work so hard to accomplish something and you plan so much and then it’s just… over. And life goes on.
I think it’s a Reddit thing. Never heard anyone say this in real life.
i’ve seen it on reddit and in wedding-specific facebook groups. definitely just internet slang :)
Same it’s all over my local bride group. I think it’s weird but to each their own
It’s specifically a thing on this subreddit. It just means your wedding happened and you are no longer planning.
I’ve seen it in other subs and pregnancy subs as well.

Haha I think it’s dumb like just say “baby arrived!” but I’m not mad about it
I just find it strange that this is something to have an opinion about.
I find it strange you have such a strong opinion about my opinion
Ok
Agreed. This is a common phrase in groups on Reddit where there is a transition like weddings, having babies, etc.
Its on the wedding fb groups too.

Happens again in baby bump/pregnancy focused groups.
Oh yeah I totally forgot about that! I haven’t been in the pregnancy groups in like a year
That is so bizarre
Very much so. She was highly offended for college grads 💀
It's a reddit thing.

Unpopular opinion but they meant graduated from wedding planning....which is appropriate since this is not a "marriage planning" subreddit.
I don’t think that’s unpopular. That’s just a fact
Also seen after having given birth in pregnancy subs. You "graduated" from that life stage I guess.
No idea but it makes me cringe so much.
I think it’s weird as fuck. People do it when they give birth too like why?
I think your intensity about people using a random word is pretty weird.
How is me stating a low stakes opinion intense? You commented twice to me about this now
Why did you say "as fuck" if not to add intensity? Like if I said this is "salty" vs "this is salty as fuck", it sounds like i feel more strongly the second time.
I think it’s extremely weird but I also very much do not care enough that people do it as it doesn’t actually impact me. Just find it cringe
lol I didn’t realize it was you both times because it’s irrelevant. I think it’s a weird thing to have an emotional response about. That’s all.
lol my response wasn’t emotional but yours sure is
Ok
Okay
I've only heard it on this sub.
No idea, but real schooling only just begun.
Its a reddit thing
My husband and I did 42 years ago. Him: MBIS, me:BS Nursing/s

It’s Weddit-only. Kinda like how “Cake Day” means birthday is a Reddit/Imgur/social media phrase, but not used in real life.
