So this is my second marriage first for FI. That being said when I got married the first time my mom came along with me to pick out my dress. She was miserable, she hated every min. Made it known and runied the experiance for me. She just isn't in to that sort of thing is her reasoning.She said I could make her come again but it would be like ripping her finger nails out slowly. That being said......
Decided I wasn't going to make her come, wasn't going to ask. I went 2weeks ago with a my wedding planner and good girlfriend narrowed down options to show FMIL and FSIL the following week. So, yesterday FSIL & FMIL went and looked at my options (as well as bridesmaid and mother of the groom dresses) we narrowed it down to 2! My mom found out and isn't speaking to me. She is upset with me becuase I didn't make her come and tell her I was going. I wasn't not including her to be mean. She made it very clear she didn't wanna go. So, I thought I was doing her a favor. Now mind you. My mother has said that if there is a Packer Game on my wedding day she will be either leaving early to watch the game at the bar or not attending at all. I'm so frustrated with her!! I get i was married before..I was a 19! I was a child. I'm 30 going to be 31 this time. I know what i want.
I just needed to vent.....
My FMIL has really been great, asking detalis and wanting to be involved like I WISH MY MOTHER WAS. So, if she wants to be included, i'm going to include her. Not my mother who doesn't. Right?? THat makes sense right?
