i tried posting a similar message on another board but i felt like people were being a bit mean:(
my problem is that my mom wants to invite people i barely know to our wedding. our parents are all paying for everything so its fair for them to invite people, but i just want people who are important to my FI and i. some of the people my mom wants wouldn't even know who i am because i haven't seen them in years (old Sunday school teacher, member of my parent's bible study group from 10 years ago).
even though our parents are paying they;re names won't be on the invites.
i wanted to have a simple, small wedding with just our immediate family and best friends present but felt pressured to having a real wedding.
i tried bringing this up to my mom and she just gave me a weird look and turned away. what should i do?
the other board respondants said i should get over it but what do you all think?
