Here's the scoop. My FMIL and her family are used to doing everything themselves, even if it's for someone else. After myself and my Fiance broke the news that we were engaged, the planning started. I was excited and knew that she wanted to help and so we went shopping. We ended up spending two hours in two isles of Hobby Lobby talking about everything...Well SHE ended up talking about everything. The colors are pink and black.
Here's HER ideas:
1. Green ivy running down the tabletops...The tables are pink and black.
2. She asked about the table covers and I told her black, and she said how about white?
3. She said SHE was making my veil.
4. SHE was making the invitations.
5. They're inviting 55 people to the rehersal dinner, when then entire guest list is 200.
6. She won't tell us where we're having the rehersal dinner.
7. She wants her own photographer, she didn't even ask who ours was!
What do I do about a FMIL who is like this? My Fiance is totally on board with our ideas, that both of us came up with, but she ends up trying to tell us what to do and how everything should be. Are the cake cutters really supposed to be aunts? She said that she'd have her sisters do it, but my fiance and I would like a couple close family friends.
HELP!
