Say Something about Pregnant Bride?

I'm having dinner with an old friend tonight. He emailed me his wedding pictures. His bride is pregnant. Its not obvious, like a huge baby bump or something, but she is wearing a dress designed to HIDE a baby bump, and in a couple of the pictures you can kind of see it. Also, strategically placed flowers and the wedding had like 5 people there. Very rushed and hush hush. Do I say something to him about her being pregnant, or do I wait for him to say something? Will I look like an even bigger idiot if I don't say something and he's like..."So..did you notice she's pregnant???".





I feel I could offend either way....HELP!!

Say Something about Pregnant Bride?
I wouldn't say anything about it. When I first met one of my closest friends, I thought for sure she was pregnant. She was thin everywhere except for a huge belly! Turns out when she didn't have a baby 9 months later, she just had a funny shaped body. Now she's getting married and her dress is one that is made to cover a baby bump... because she LOOKS pregnant, not because she actually is. They're inviting immediate family only to their wedding.





Yes, it would look by all means like she was pregnant. But, your friend could also be in a similar situation. Don't risk being rude by asking if she's pregnant and then finding out later that she isn't. Instead, wait for him to say something. Just say, "I thought that was a baby bump I saw!" if he asks if you noticed.
Reply:You wait for them to mention it. Pregnant brides are not uncommon these days, and it really is no big deal.
Reply:Don't say anything. He will bring it up if he feels it's appropriate.
Reply:Nope, keep your mouth shut. If he does ask if you noticed just say no.
Reply:No do not say anything abouu tit except that you liked the pictures and her flowers. if he wants to tell you he will, but either way in a few months everyone wil know.
Reply:No, don't say anything. They'll have to announce it eventually, so just let them do it in their own time.
Reply:"Oh, Phil, I am so excited for you and Gina. Your wedding photos were gorgeous. So tell me, now that you're married, what's your next big adventure?"





Obviously, if he doesn't mention it, neither do you. Simply wish him and his new bride well.
Reply:I wouldn't say anything. If they were trying to hide it then let them think they did a good job and just ignore it until they bring it up. And then congratulate them.
Reply:You say, "Congratulations" and "I wish you all the best."





You do not mention the pregnancy. They will tell you about the baby when they are ready to do so.





Give them a moment to enjoy the wedding. Then give them another happy moment to announce the pregnancy.
Reply:no whats it matter really just let it be .. when the baby comes celebrate!
Reply:If they didn't explicitly say anything to you, don't say it. Maybe she's not even pregnant for all you know, then you would look like an idiot.
Reply:Don't say anything until he does. They might be embarrassed about it, and they may have been pressured into it. If he says "didn't you notice" tell him the truth and say you wanted to wait for him to say something first.
Reply:Say nothing, it is none of your concern unless the couple choose to make it so.
Reply:You could say she is glowing, meaning either because of her wedding day or the baby bump.
Reply:Don't say anything. He'll tell you when he tells you.
Reply:Don't say anything unless you are 100% sure she is pregnant. If he brings it up just say "congratulations".
Reply:I think it would be better to let him tell you that his wife is pregnant. You could comment on the wedding pics by saying how much you liked them, the flowers were beautiful, and so on. If he says, "so..did you notice she's pregnant?" you could just say well I thought so but I was waiting for you to tell me. I don't this would offend him at all.
Reply:lol don't worry. don't say a thing!!! until he brings it up, of course. and they went to all that work to hide it, so no way did you notice it in the pictures!
