So, my cousin who got married liek 10 years ago (and is since divorced nad onto hubby number 2!) had her mom as her maid of honor. my mom always said how"nice that was" etc

so we went looking for a MOB dress and she said shes going to wait to see what my bridesmaids get and probably get the same dress in a similar color.

OH MOM! fine she can get whatever she wants, but shes like trying to make herself a bridesmaid.

I siad "mom, you have a special place in the wedding- you are my mother- don't you want to STAND OUT!"

any other quirks your moms having-- similar to trying to be a bridesmaid lol

My mom is walking me down the aisle.  She was talking about what color dress she was going to wear, talking about what colors she wore to my other siblings' weddings (only one remains married.)  My Mom and I are very close so when she said something about a green dress ( my colors are purple and white) I stopped her and said "mom, just go purple.  We'll find you a nice purple dress."  She's down with that.  She's going to wait to see what the Bridesmaids get and then she's going to find maybe a lighter color, or perhaps darker.  BUT - she's not getting the same dress or color. 

It's funny she got on my Knot account once and was going through dresses for MOB.  She was so funny picking them out. 

My mom's been pretty awesome about the wedding.  She thinks I'm being a bit alarmist regarding the drama that could happen with my family and worrying too much, trying to be proactive in predicting and having it not happen.  But aside from that (and maybe she's right) she's been awesome.

oh man!!  lol, I feel right there with you.  Name a topic about the wedding and I've got a mom issue on it or someone comment she made that would make you lol or roll your eyes.  I'm getting better at dealing with it though!  Good Luck!

I def. think it is about  "dealing" with it. and learning how to deal with it.
My mom said "good you found your dress. now we can hunt for mine for months and i can torture you now"i mean i didint meant to torutre" my mom. I am very particular.
My mom always talks about how i am "too picky" and 'too particular" ad "too uptight about things" and then we went to the printer and i was describing how i wanted things and he goes "boy, you are VERY particular". My mom looked at me, and i saw things from her point of view for the first time. and now when she says that stuff I can kind of laugh- instead of getting offended!

Ig uess its learning how to deal!

it gets easier dealing with "the mom."  I am getting married for the second time (gasp! I know! How horrible right?!) and slowly you learn to pick your battles and let the little stuff go!  Hang in there!
