Do you have nights for “no wedding talk”?

During the craziness of wedding planning, it’s important to step back and enjoy some wedding-free time together. Do you and your fiancé(e) have nights where you ban the wedding talk?

During the craziness of wedding planning, it’s important to step back and enjoy some wedding-free time together. Do you and your fiancé(e) have nights where you ban the wedding talk? Never, always, or sometimes?

Do you find it difficult to limit or is it a much needed break?

Next Question: Do you snuggle... while sleeping?

Or start from the beginning here: Never, Always, or Sometimes?

    We're in the early stages, but he doesn't care about weddings. He let me know he'll be happy with whatever I go with and that the wedding "isn't for him." I'm sure he'll change his tune when it comes time to hire a caterer, though. 😜

    We don't specifically say "let's not" but sometimes we just don't lol and I talk about it way more than he does so 90% of the time I'm the wedding conversation starter lol

    More often then not we have wedding free nights. A whole month in Europe was wedding free and the month of December we agreed to focus on the holidays and not talk about the wedding.

    Always, without intending to. We just don’t want to stress out about all of the details every day. We still have our regular lives to go about and discuss.

    We don’t really talk about the wedding THAT much that we’d need this!

    Well, I mean we are still two years out from our wedding so we haven’t really done a lot of planning. So, I guess we do have nights we don’t plan the wedding, but I’m not really sure.

    We haven't gotten into the nitty gritty of planning yet, but i'm going to try and not make it all wedding all the time once we do. He's a plumber and works insane hours, and usually he just wants to come home and veg. i'll ask him some simple stuff sure, but i'm aware 99% of the wedding will be on me

    Haha, we do it the opposite way, we schedule nights for wedding talk, divide up tasks, and reconvene.

    Oh! I like that way a lot too. I've always felt like I get more done if I have a designated time set aside to work on something, without distractions!

    Exactly. It works for us and that way we still do our normal "us" stuff without feeling pressure to talk about wedding details. If we get an idea or information, we can always talk about it, but having designated talks keeps the stress levels low in my opinion.

    Has the longer engagement made you two find wedding planning more enjoyable?

    Yes and no... we didn’t even start talking about wedding ideas till June of 2018 we talked about it for like 2 weeks and then hardly mentioned it till the end of December.

    In April we are flying to Buffalo to look at a couple venues and then put the deposit down For the venue, DJ, photographer and possibly the cake. My Matron of Honor is flying out to visit with us in September and go to a bridal show with me and go try on dresses so we have an idea for dress shopping in 2020.

    We honestly probably should, but we don't have set dates. It's just kind of a "we got exhausted from all the planning so we're going to ignore it for a few days" thing.

    We don’t really! We just talk about it freely, but I am doing most of the planning. He has helped with a few things (Song Playlist, Guest List, Cake Flavors, Food Choices, Groomsmen Gifts). So I just ask his opinion on something and then move on.

    No, because we usually don't talk about it too much. And if we do, it's not like it's for hours. Sometimes I just need to rant/complain and get things out and he's great about letting me do it and then we just move on. Smiley smile
