My mother and I don't agree on almost anything (this applies to most areas of life, and not just my wedding). To sum up, I'm a little offbeat; I like skulls, tattoos, piercings, dying my hair funny colors, etc. My mother is a typical, suburban,
conservative, Christian woman. She has for most of my life disapproved of my style choices, and makes her opinion known (she pouted for about 3 days when I, at 22 years old, showed up with my eyebrow pierced.)
I feel like I need her help for my wedding, cause she is good at knowing what to plan/get/decide on next. But I feel like her style is taking over what I want my wedding to be. How do I tell her I still want her help, but sometimes I just need her to smile and say "That is so YOU!" at some of my choices, instead of looking at me with disgust and trying to change my mind?
She's really good at talking around things to manipulate me too, so sometimes I don't realize I'm not really into something til I get home on my own, look at it again, and think "this sucks". Making it even more awkward to then want to change ideas.
