Wedding Woes

My mother is driving me insane...

I'm at my wits end with my mother. I love her to death, and so it's very hard for me, but all she does every time we talk is STRESS me out.

I'm currently in medical school, so I chose the Destination Wedding, as it is relatively stress free. The wedding itself isn't costing them a penny, as I've managed to already pay for it. Yet she complains about the cost CONSTANTLY. In addition, she complains about my registry, my choice to get married this summer, etc. Her recent complaint is regarding my fiance, as she often reads too far into little things he does. I love this man so much, and am going to marry him, and I just need my mother to back off a little.

How do I express this to her without hurting her feelings?

    I need to know what little things she's reading too far into before I decide if she's out of line in regards to your fiance.

    For everything else, stop telling her your plans. If you're paying for the wedding yourself then she shouldn't even know what the cost is.

    Tell her to back off, you appreciate the help, but since you are paying for it, it is really you and your FI who have the final say so in everything.
