A coworker recently returned from her destination wedding and honeymoon. She hasn't stopped talking about it since yesterday. And shes VERY loud so she can make sure EVERYONE can here her. So annoying.
I don't plan on asking her about it because I don't want to be forced to sit and listen like I give a toss.
Whats the best way to avoid conversations with these kinds of people?

Since yesterday? Give it time. It will die down in a couple of days. Sounds like the wedding may be just a symptom of other issues you have with her.

If you have a reasonably competent boss, just complain that it's distracting you. I have gone to other managers often to report their people distracting mine by their loud conversations. If the work requires a high degree of concentration to be effective, avoid errors and meet deadlines, your boss should be doing what they can to minimize distraction.
Best of luck to you when she becomes pregnant. You think a few days of marriage talk is going to drive you nuts? That's nothing compared to 7-8 months of baby talk.
Yup, in passing, just say - "I heard from across the office you had a great time. Welcome back".

Don't sit with them, but if you have to, ignore them and then when they ask "Did you hear me?" Say "Oh, did you say something relating to our work?" That may shut them down..or maybe not.

Since yesterday!
OMG.
You seem to have no tolerance for what happens on other people's lives. This was a big event, and people talk about big events.
How long have you worked there?
You will be hearing a lot more about life events over the years.... get used to it.
