Do I hear wedding bells?

Have you ever heard this expression?

People use it to comment on someone else's relationship. When you hear someone talking about a boyfriend/girlfriend in a really happy loving excited way someone might ask you this question!

Jill: Jack's such a great guy, handsome, kind, funny. I can't wait for you to meet him!

Kris: So, do I hear wedding bells?

Jill: Well, it's only been a few months but...

"Do I hear wedding bells?" is a cute fun way to ask someone "Would you marry them?" or "Do you think you're gonna marry them?". So the verb to hear wedding bells means that you think someone will get married (usually soon).

Josephine: I hear your grandson's dating a doctor.

Francesca: Yes, I hear wedding bells in their future!


Have a nice week,

Does anyone know this word & how it is used?

It means the same as what someone said before. We use it when we're in groups.

Al: I hope you had fun.

Bob: Yeah, it was a great party, thanks for inviting me.

Carl: Ditto.

In this case it means: "Great party, thanks for inviting me too."

Kay: The new math teacher's horrible.

Helen: Ditto.

In this case it means: "I think so too".

Have a nice week,
