So I was talking to my mom on the phone today when she said a few things that made me say huh?? But then I started to think, is it just ME?
Backstory: My family is from the South and used to just that. In my side of the family, when weddings happen the whole family is invited and usually our side of the family dominates the wedding party in numbers and opinion. FI and I have been engaged about 20 months ago and for the most part, wedding plan has been kind of quiet because we had so much time. Now that we are near the end of the line, my mom is sharing her opinions and such. Mind you we are footing the bill ourselves.
So today she mentioned that they are arriving the day before the wedding. The problem is I had already verbally said that I wanted the bridal party, including parents there on the Friday before the wedding (we are getting married on a Sunday). On Saturday we are having a rehearsal breakfast followed by the rehearsal. She says she doesn't remember me saying that. Are you kiding me? She also asked about the unity candle ceremony and what not. Um, no mom we are not having a unity candle. First the wedding was outside and now we've moved it inside. Regardless to the ceremony location, we are having a unity cross. Another thing is the menu because as she put it "you know grandma don't eat beef". WTH!! We are not having a soul food menu.
OK so she already knows how I am. I mean I am not for anything less than a classy and elegant wedding. I'm thinking it has to be me because I purposefully didn't share the details. My family loves to tell EVERYTHING and I just figured I wanted it to be something special that no one knows the details about and can't talk about BEFORE the wedding happens. If I wanted everyone to know everything I'd be running my mouth right now!
vent over.. Just had to get that out
