i alienated everyone by talking too much about my wedding. Help!

You're going to learn very quickly that no one cares about your wedding as much as you do. Since you're still almost a year away, I wouldn't expect anyone to show much excitement yet. It's not wrong to talk about your wedding, but if you're constantly talking about your wedding, you're not talking about other things. You're not asking your friends and family what's going on in their lives or having normal every day conversations. Chill out on the wedding talk, except between you and your FS, and treat your relationships just like you normally would. Be a friend first and a bride second.

Good thing you’re here. Spill all your details, questions & concerns here!

I would apologize and then make an effort to ask them about their lives, or have a fun time out but NOT talk about the wedding. It’ll all be good.

This is your one and only wedding, you should not feel bad for being excited and talking about it! Maybe you just need to find a more receptive outlet like a close friend or your future spouse. I know I burned my FH's ears constantly talking about our wedding and the best part is that he couldn't "alienate" himself because it is his day too. Best of luck and don't let anyone take away your excitement!

You have no reason to feel bad! I think we all understand what you mean. I talk to my FH a lot about the wedding, but he is excited for it too. If someone asks me about I don't go into much detail because I know they don't want to hear me talk about it all the time. That's the nice part about coming on here, everyone is in the same boat and excited about wedding stuff!

That's why we are here for you on WW !! we are all super excited about wedding stuff and would love to hear your thoughts and questions and help as best as we can.

like what PP said, you'll see that people aren't as excited about your wedding as you'd hoped they'd be. i learned that the hard way too.

I think many of us have to make a real effort not to gush about our weddings to our friends and family. Since they have let you know that you’re overdoing it, I would avoid discussing it unless someone asks. (Except of course with your FS and WeddingWire who should be happy to discuss it with you.) Be sure to ask your family and friends about their own lives and make sure that you’re prioritizing your relationships as much as your wedding. I love WeddingWire because I can talk about weddings as much as I want without boring my friends and family. I still talk about major milestones, like getting my dress, but I keep wedding talk to a minimum.

Girl you’re not alone, I talked about my wedding for like the whole year, pretty sure my friends were exhausted by me. I think this is common for all brides. Talk on here where you will find other brides just as excited as you are and you will see that the closer to the date you get the more excited your love ones will get.

My own HUSBAND was tired of me talking about wedding plans while we were planning. I had to set a time of "ok I'll only discuss wedding things with you on weekends"
That's why WW is great. We all love to gush about our weddings and plans!

Thanks for all your comments and support! I am glad to have found a community that understands me

I wouldn't feel bad & just tell your family your super excited for this day! They should understand!

When you want to talk wedding post on here, we'll all tall to you about your big day lol.

I have also talked non-stop about our wedding 😅. I've planned hundreds of weddings & corporate events so I've literally been DREAMING about it being my turn and I am so excited!

CONGRATS ON YOUR BIG DAY! ❤
