Ah, but which authority defines what is socially acceptable? The problem seems more that the culture has changed and that it's you who struggles to know when it's acceptable to use colorful language.
It hasn't changed. Most people still realize it's inappropriate to use certain language in certain settings. I have no particular struggle in this area, but you apparently do.
It has nothing to do with Puritanism, that's your bias. It's recognizing your audience

Not at all. It's pretty much acceptable everywhere except maybe in front of religious parents or something.
If a groom laughs and tells his bride that she is fricking beautiful.. 99% of people will think it's sweet and take no issue of it.

I've been doing it for so long in my work setting I don't even need to consciously monitor myself in inappropriate settings not to drop f bombs. I just naturally tone it back.
My job is high stress and my coworkers would likely think something was wrong if they didn't hear at least one f bomb come out my office during the course of the day. Especially at the end of months, quarters, halves and years.
The person who previously held my position was French and he was worse than me about cursing at the office. He was doing it in two languages.
