My Mom wants to pay for my wedding dress, plus give us at least $1000 towards the honeymoon. She's also mentioned giving us $2000 now to help get us started with wedding planning. I really don't want her to pay for the dress or for anything wedding related so I plan to say no and to try to redirect her to maybe help me out with some of the planning instead of paying for anything.
She REALLY wants to pay and seemed frustrated that I wasn't making it easy for her. I REALLY don't want her to pay.
Is it rude to decline her offer?
