I wanted to respond to this seperately.
My opinion wouldn't normally count for anything, but, she asked. Thus, it matters as much as she wants it to. I don't take myself too seriously, although I occasinally say something worth seriously considering.
To answer your question: Anyone who you expect to take your engaugement seriously has the right to decide if they feel it's overly long.
If you expect your parents to care about it, they have the right to an opinion. If you don't give a shat if they participate in any way, and expect literally nothing from them, then I suppose they don't.
Same with friends. If you expect them to listen to you talk about it, and/or you want thier support, they get to have an opinion.
That's how it works.
