That is lucky OP. Let them talk about the wedding as much as they can. What otherwise might annoy you can only be a blessing in these circumstances.

I don't even have wine here and surrounded by Trumpsters.... :(

How about the weather? Or how great the meal is? Sports or who is getting married.

Paul Ryan wants to voucherize Medicare.

Mixed crowd. Many immigrants, including the in-laws (from Central America) but people are touting the S&P highs as Trumps gift to the earth... whenever the convo goes to social issues, everyone goes quiet the moment my partner and I mention the threat to LGBTQ equality his administration looks to bring

Of the 16 at my house: 2 Gary Johnson, 1 non resident green card, 2 underage, 3 Clinton, 2 didn't vote, 6 trump. Interesting conversations

We survived!

I have an informational interview with a Managing Director on Friday about a manager role. I currently serve in a client services role and do not have traditional consulting experience (billable hours, etc.). Additionally, while I’ve worked with McKinsey, Accenture, McKesson, and other teams on major projects, I don’t have experience putting together the strategy, more of a support function. Feeling a tad intimidated! Any tips would be so very appreciated!
