They earned it. Show them respect. What is wrong with that?

Now you've lost all credibility.

My sister has a PhD and went to school just as long (if not longer) to get her degrees as an M.D.
She graduated from undergrad with a 3.99 GPA.
If you don't think she doesn't deserve to be called Dr., you're a dumbass.

Scruffy's sister wants to get a PhD in organic chemistry. If she pulls that off, he definitely thinks she earned the right to be called Dr.
I have a PhD in physical chemistry, but I don't ever expect anyone to call me Dr. It isn't even from an online university

So people call her dr in social settings?

As I understand it, only an MD is called "doctor" outside of their job. PhDs are only called doctor on campus, etc.

Herein is the real issue. While you may not require or expect it, I believe that good manners and decorum would have me call yo by your title until you say, "Please, call me Bunny".

She doesn't get called Dr. outside of work.
Neither does my brother who is an M.D.
We aren't a pretentious family.

I was with my parents at urgent care the other day and this older man was a patient AND a doctor and when they called his name to be seen "Joe Smith" he did not answer. He kept saying Dr. Smith and they kept saying Joe Smith.
It took the urgent care a few times to catch on that this a-hole wanted to be addressed professionally.

Sounds as though the bride and groom know social etiquette.

That's usually the proper informal etiquette.
M.D.s are usually referred to as doctors in any setting.
Non-M.D.s are respectively called doctor when acting within their field of study.
For example - if you have a pharmacist, ph d, and a chiropractor in a hospital waiting room and the M.D. arrives - if someone says "look, there's the doc" - no one's looking at the other guys.
In a classroom, call a PhD a doctor.

"Doctorates" of philosophy, arts, sciences, and theology have been around since the university system was created in the Middle Ages in Europe. Look it up. There were also doctors of the church. Those "doctors" are as historically genuine as any other kind and it can take up to 12 years of higher education to earn one.
Just because YOU think that the only kind of legitimate doctor is of the medical variety doesn't mean that you are right or you know what you are talking about. About a thousand years of Western education tells a different story.
I do not have a doctorate, but I respect those who have earned one. It is hard work.
