Dr, why ?

Why are doctors so obsessed with the fact that they are doctors ? I got thinking about this after I received a wedding invitation recently -

Dr (Mrs) X and Dr. Y would like to invite you to the wedding of their son Dr Z to Dr (Miss) A; daughter of Dr (Mrs.) B and Dr C on blah, blah, blah....

Please ! Someone please explain to me - when 2 persons are getting married; what does being a Dr have to do with it ? Is the identity of each of these people defined by being Dr...so much that your name can not be said aloud unless you attach a Dr to it ?

Is life henceforth going to be -
Hi Dr, I'm home !
Dr, pass me the ketchup
Dr, my sweetheart, I love you, please don't be angry with me
Dr, you have to pick up the kids after school today
Dr, we need to talk

And if that isn't enough, why is it that women feel the need to attach the extra Mrs or Miss after the Dr ? So why should you have Dr (Mrs) Blah Blah or Dr (Miss) Blah Blah ? Why do you need to announce your marital status to the world. What does that have to do with doing a job ?


Someone, please please explain this to me.

Finally u r bak. I thought blogging was a closed chapter. I accompanied Saroj aunty when she did the proof reading of her daughter's wedding invite and it said Drs. ..... invite you. And I was thinking the same thing as you. In some communities in the South, we see the entire educational qualification and profession and company list listed alongside the name!
