When You Know it's Time to Stop Talking About Weddings

Your wedding is coming up and you’re excited, of course. But sometimes, you are a little too excited. Like, the back away from you slowly kind. Here’s when you know it’s time to stop talking about weddings…

  • Your Third Facebook Message Inviting Your BF to Watch a Marathon Session of Four Weddings on Sky Living has Been Ignored

And, you know she has seen it! Some friend! You think, ‘what is with her lately?’ You assumed that she would love to watch 8 back-to-back Four Weddings episodes as much as you do.

  • Most of Your Conversations Begin or end With “When we get married..”

Somehow, every conversation you participate in has potential for wedding talk. Even one about toilet paper. You’ve gotten so used to that glazed over look in your co-worker’s eyes that you actually think they may have an eye infection.

  • You Start to cry When Your First Dance Song is Played

On the drive home, on a night out, at a restaurant – tears! Last week, you heard it in a shop and had to leave.

  • You Have a Compulsion to Show Everyone Your Engagement Ring

Yesterday, someone asked you for directions and you nearly pointed them the right way with your ring finger. You use your left hand more in your body language than your actual face. You may have struck up a conversation with a stranger, just to mention it. Once.

  • You Think a Few People Have “Hidden” You From Their Facebook Feed

And who could blame them! When you’re not talking about ‘exciting’ wedding updates that you can’t actually mention on Facebook, you are liking and sharing every wedding Facebook competition out there. If there’s a free signage competition out there – you’ve entered it!
