For one thing, I think weddings are boring, but more importantly, I just don’t care. (she sits right beside of me…help!!!)

Miss Linz
Tell her that during your wedding your husband tripped and smacked his head and ended up dying. So weddings are a sore spot for you.

i’m trying to work here
please talk about that on your own time.
-
I am sending you some valium in the mail right now! You can take it yourself or slip it into her bottled water/coffee.
See why the vast majority of my friends are men and I’m downright hostile to female coworkers? Keeps them far, far away from me (or at least unwilling to tell me about their plans/children/new shoes/other crap I could not care less about).

Learn to tune her out when you’re working.
-
Honestly I never spoke about my wedding unless someone asked, but maybe she’s just really excited. If it bothers you that much maybe you should get up and walk away whenever she starts talking about it.
-
Just pretend like your listening.When the big day comes I hope you’re not going to be one of those people that just go for the food and booze.You won’t be attending her wedding right.I think weddings are lovely.

Just remember, you will look back on these times fondly after she has a baby
-
Everytime she goes on about a particular detail, relate a horror story that you heard about that. For instance, when she starts talking about the bachelor party her husband will have, tell her you read some statistics that 92.3% of men have sex with the stripper that pops out of the cake at the bachelor party as one last hurrah. Or you read an article in your local newspaper that the caterer she just hired got fined several times for serving food to guests that gave everyone Salmonellae. Do it every single time, she’ll get so exasperated, she’ll stop talking about it in front of you.

Hahahaha. You’re gonna have a hell of a time choosing between Linz and the Cold-c*cked Lady for the best answer.
Wait’ll she gets knocked up. Then the *real* nausea sets in. Yours, not hers.
-
just suck it up and smile. shes excited as you would be in her shoes. be happy for her..let her enjoy herself.

Have a “Clockwork Orange” type of reaction to the subject whenever she brings it up. Pretend to gag and wretch…
“I woke up, the pain and sickness all over me like an animal. Then I realized what it was… The sound coming from the next desk was my coworker, prattling on and on about marriage, and dresses, and a foul cake laden with sugar and other sweet disgustings… Make it stop I cried, oh God make it stop! I’m sick, I’m going to be sick in me Gulliver!”
A Clockwork Wedding

Just grin and bear it.
I mean, if YOU were prattling on about something that SHE found boring, what would you want HER to do? Yawn in your face? No. Take you aside and tell you that you’re boring her? No. Get up abruptly and leave every time you open your mouth? No. Take out an iPod and put on headphones every time you open your mouth? No. Pull out a cell phone and answer an obviously fake phone call whenever you start to speak? No. etc., etc., etc.
See what I mean? Like they say, “What goes around, comes around,” so just grin and bear it.

Tell her you don’t give a sh*t about her wedding plans via email and a on post it note.
-
You could tell her you f*cked her fiance
….or…you could just f*ck him….and take photos in to show her.
..that’d put an end to things pretty sharpish.
-
I was going to make a suggestion, but I can’t stop laughing at the answers.
Next time she starts give her a strong drink and hope she becomes a lesbian with alcohol. Then take the pictures and voila! Wedding’s off!
-
Really, Eartha’ s response is unbeatable.
(P.S. I just happen to be that chick’s fiance! And I’m free tonight!)
-
take her aside- and be like do you plan on inviting every1 your talking to this about? cause if not i would stop talking about the big day cause it will seem to rude to all around when they dont get an invite after hearing all the plans –
it will make her think twice about spewing anymore details

I’ve heard about that mental condition on the news – Nadia Suleman (Octo-mom) has the same one. Where women feel the need to be in constant wedding or baby mode as a desperate need for attention due to some sort of vitamin/not being dropped on the head – deficiency as a child.
Tell her about that, and that you’re here for her if she needs to work out those problems. Oh wait. you don’t care. Ask her if she plans to be a “thick” bride or if she’s gonna do something about that muffin top before the big day. Maybe she’ll be too depressed to talk? Good luck.

Well, you could sleep with her fiancee. It will not make her talk about the wedding less, but might just make you smile more when you hear her talking about it.

Don’t be so rude!
This is the most important day of her life, of course she is bound to be excited.
Listen to her, share with her. Maybe even suggest some ideas. Take an interest.
Stop being such a miser.
