    What?  They didn't show up right after your honeymoon?  They are starting to get annoying.  All the fairy dust is EVERYWHERE.  It's so hard to clean.

    Im completely late but I agree with the dont sweat the small stuff, its one thing to FREAK out over it but to just worry and want it to be the way you want it because you are spending a chunk of change are different. 

    Stephie I agree with the design theme or at least little details I remember the little details of ALL weddings I have been to and many long before I was engaged.

    I already get asked about kids I still have 3 months till I am married but we have never wanted kids so I always say never.  This has worked really well for me but last week a lady at work seriously responded with "well I am going to pray for you and that you get pregnant in the next 6 months"  WHAT?!?

    You know, it's funny, we actually haven't gotten the kids question yet. I hope it's not because people think we'd be unfit parents! I, for one, am on the "Get Pregnant As Soon as Circumstances Allow" Train, but I still think it's dumb for people to assume that all newlyweds are that way. Everyone's path is different, but nobody seems to understand that.

    [QUOTE]I agree with Chelsea on the "sweating the small stuff".  It's all the small details that a lot of us but the most time and effort into making our wedding different and us.  If we didn't all worry about these things then we'd all have the same wedding.  Some people stress more than others but you don't know what else is going on in their life.  During our wedding planning I was dealing with my step-dad's cancer.  The only thing that kept me from going insane in the last 4-6 months was the wedding because he was getting worse.  I know I complained on here a lot about little things not going right but with everything else in my life crumbling around me I wanted just one thing to be perfect and it was the wedding.  If you think the person is overreacting just move past the post if you don't have anything positive to say.  The "small stuff" could be the only thing that can go right at the time for that bride and everyone telling them to chill out doesn't help at all!

    I hated it when people attacked me about that kind of stuff... or said I was worried about things that aren't my "business" to worry about or not my place etc... What the heck happened to the golden rule?!? I just wanted people who had constructive comments to respond. Rude people, I swear!
    I was dealing with a similar situation as you with my Mom and by dang it I was determined to have a perfect wedding for her to see me be married. I wanted to worry about that stuff because I actually had hope of controlling it! Now that she has passed everyone's new rude question is "what's it like to plan without her" or "it must be so hard" Well - yeah it sucks when you keep reminding me, like I hadn't realized??

    I haven't even read all of the posts to your poll.. but the first thing that came to my mind was "Its YOUR wedding, planning it is supposed to be FUN!"

    AGGGHHH!!!  And all of the people who say this to me, have yet to plan a wedding, or paid a planner.

    Okay,now I'll read what everyone else said. LOL

    [QUOTE]"If you don't like what <insert paying persons name here /> wants you to do, then pay for it yourself and do what you want" True enough I suppose, but that isn't going to make them any less of a nagging PITA about it.

    I'm paying for EVERYTHING, yet my Mother still has soemthing to say about it.  And INSISTS on being involved in the decision making process.  This is so annoying, because I already know what I want, there is no process for her to be involved in.

    The most recent incident:  I finally found my paper.  For envelope liners, programs, table numbers, escort cards, etc.  My mother says "Its so 70's" and then goes on to tell me how I should just pay for what ever the invitation catalog has, and save everyone the time its going to take to have the paper I want on the envelope liners, programs, table numbers, escort cards, etc.

    She has a CRICUT!

    Has she not noticed how "in" 70's-style aesthetics are? Just one example: I have this adorable owl necklace, and my MOH showed me a picture of her mom in the 70's wearing a necklace just like it!
