When is it 'too much' wedding talk?

I really try to avoid it but sometimes some of my friends bring it up and we end up talking about it. One friend in particular brought it up anytime we saw each other or spoke on the phone and she always calls me the beautiful bride to be when referring to me. Well last week she had the nerve to tell me that ever since I got engaged everything is all about the wedding and she doesn't feel like my friend anymore. I seriously said "what the actual fuck" outloud. She brings it up not me! Moral of the story is I would steer clear of wedding talk and if they bring it up steer the conversation away again. I know we are all just excited and we want to talk about it but friends do and will get annoyed.

Exactly what Mrs.C said. Wait until your friends/family bring it up? In the meantime, that's what WW is for.

Honestly, I only talk about it when someone brings it up and I always keep it very minimal. I especially avoid talking about it on social media because that can lead to so much drama. I understand that some people may be interested so I will talk about it to them, but a majority of people couldn't care less and are too polite to say anything haha. That's why I wait for someone to bring it up.

Also, that's the beauty of weddingwire! You can just let all of your wedding talk out on here and save your family and friends from it!

I tried to not bring it up unless people asked. Toward the end, that got more difficult, but people were also more understanding. Rather than a year out when I was like, "OMG I DON'T KNOW WHAT PLACECARDS TO GET" and everyone was like, "Um, who cares. Chill."

Mrs.C said it best - I would only bring it up if someone else does and then keep it short and sweet. The truth is very few (or no one - possibly not even FH) else will care about your wedding as much as you do. So if you want to talk about your wedding all the time - the best thing to do is come here!

I don't usually bring up wedding stuff unless someone asks. Which they usually do....in which case I keep it simple, just the latest on what we've been doing. People genuinely are interested, and know that it's a big part of what's going on in your life, so they want to hear about it. But, I too avoid giving too many details to avoid drama as well as unwanted opinions (more in regards to family than friends).

It def feels that way in the beginning. Its more of the basic questions being asked by different people over and over: when's the wedding, where's the wedding, have you got your dress yet, have you picked BMs yet, how many BMs, what colors, theme, etc? It fazes out after a while. Me and my MOH would talk about my wedding for hours the first few months (we mentally planned it in our heads every detail LOL). But now it rarely comes up, we talk about the usual. Once it gets closer I am sure it will pick up again.

Since I have noticed this of myself I also avoid the subject unless people bring it up. But so many people ask and I just find it's hard to keep it short when they do! I Don't want to underestimate how much it may annoy some people. Thank goodness I have you guys now!

I had one friend who was planning a wedding at the same time as I was. We talked weddings all the damn time, sharing our frustrations and excitement. With everyone else, though, I kept wedding talk to a minimum, even when they asked about it. People seem to replace "How are you doing?" with "How is wedding planning?" once you're engaged. Doesn't mean you have to tell them all the gory details

@FMReno I notice that when family or married friends bring it up its usually because they want to interject something about their wedding. Like, "how many ppl are you having? YOUR RESPONSE. At our wedding we had Xamount bc blah blah blah." So sometimes ppl are genuinely interested, some ppl want to be nosy, and some ppl just want to talk about themselves. When I am around other ladies who are engaged I find myself asking about colors a lot. I went to a wedding back in July that was my second choice color palette, it really threw me off because I realized how much I like it and I started to feel like now it wasn't even an option.

I think most of the time people are just trying to be polite and make conversation. So I try to just answer the question and move on. Especially if they aren't invited...

I talk to my family and close friends about it all the time! They do ask though. I talk to them a lot though and still make an effort to show I care about their lives and I don't talk about it every time. After all, planning a wedding isn't the only thing I'm doing.

I feel better now that you all have confirmed my feelings, this will help me limit the subject (at first I didn't want to seem like I was avoiding it).

@Delisa You're right, nothing has changed, there are so many things going on with everyone! That's why it worried me

Same as some other ladies have said...I really try to avoid it and just get my wedding fix here in the forums. The one exception is FH. He actually complains sometimes that I don't talk about anything other than the wedding. That's not true, of course, but I am working on limiting wedding talk with him now. It's easy to get caught up in planning mode and forget to date/be a normal couple! lol.
