My momma is tripping!!!

MrsHoward2Be

So were doing a small wedding on the beach and only inviting immediate family. My sister tells my mom that we have moved up the date. I hadnt told her yet.
So basically she tells her she is gonna invite my aunt,uncle, cousin, so called bestfriend, and god mother. She is like I will pay for them to eat. NO! Im so not in the mood to deal with this.

I know his momma is gonna be pissed his none of her family is there.

We are planning to have my parent, his best friend, my parents, my sister and niece, our 3 kids, and his aunt and her husband (she is like a second mom/confidant to him) and his sister and her kids if she wants to come.

I swear were gonna end up at the courthouse!!!!

I know momma is tripping but if his aunt and uncle can come why not yours? Are you close to these family members. If she is paying why dont you want them to come?

i dont want them there. im close to them but my mom has 6 brothers and sisters and his mom has 6 also. Its not fair to include some but not all.

The aunt he invited is from his estranged fathers side of the family. So i understand why he wants her there. Not sure if they will make it her husband had a stroke recently so I thinking traveling might be too much for him.

Girl we have had a lot of mama drama on this board. If you and FI are paying for it all then you just have to put your foot down. "Mom this is the vision that FI and I have for our wedding. We have come to these decisions together and this is how it's going to be. I appreciate your offer to pay for additional guests but we have already made the final decision."

I see what you mean because once you invite some then you have to invite all. Then their kids going to want to come. Then your mom will try to slide these extra people in. Aye aye aye.

I agree with everybody else, tell your mom that is your final list but you appreciate the thought.

Girl.....this is why we are going to Vegas. people don't know how to act. The parents aren't involved in planning so they better not invite anyone!
