Hello! I'm Georgie, I'm 36 and am VERY happily remarried! My daughter is 5 months and I'm getting her baptized this Saturday...meanwhile, my brother is engaged to his fiance, Lexi, and while I love her, she's is WEDDING OBSESSED! She's getting married this November and cannot shut up about it...I get texts everyday, she updates Facebook/Twitter at least 3 times a day with how many days left, how in love they are, the lyrics to their wedding song, etc. It's a bit too much...
Anyway, the christening is this Saturday and I'm pretty sure she's not going to shut up about her wedding...is there a way I can politely tell her to please keep the wedding talk to a minimum? It's not really about her and I'd like to keep the focus on my daughter.
Is she getting up in front of everyone and broadcasting the info? If not, then don't worry about it. If she tries to corner YOU, then come up w/ some ways to get out of the conversation. But you can't dictate to people what they can/can't talk about to one another. It's like at a wedding- ALL eyes aren't on the bride the entire time paying all their attention and conversation on the bride/ wedding. Same thing w/ a baptism - ALL eyes won't be on your DD and all conversation won't be about the baptism.

No, not at all! I'm just tired of her OBSESSING about her damn wedding...Everytime we go to dinner, I hear about it...If I order a salad, she asks if I'm watching my weight for the wedding...If I go shopping, I'm shopping for a dress for the wedding...If I chew gum, I'm whitening my teeth for her wedding...

Really? So what is your response in these various scenarios?

I just kind of smile...once I rolled my eyes at her and said I had other things going on and she cried...so I apologized. I can't anymore.
