Feeling a little lost

This is my first (and only) wedding and my mom is not well enough to enjoy the planning with me.  To make it even harder my MOH is in another state (my sister).  While phone, emails and Skype can be great it just doesn't feel the same. 

I do have some good female friends who have offered to help, but when the time comes to go with me to check out dresses or even talk about plans and ideas, they are busy.  I understand their busy lives (all have kids) but I just feel like I'm coming up with ideas all alone.  Frown  My fiance is wonderful, but isn't into the details or especially the "look at this" stuff.  If he had his choice we'd just elope.

Just wondering if anyone else has encountered having to do the dreaming and planning on their own?

    the only thing i did with my mother was dress shop with her. once. other than that, she had no interest in the wedding, other than if her friends would be there. don't worry about it...some moms just aren't as involved as others.

    It's frustrating for both my mom and I - she has dreamed of this day longer than I have!  But she is now a parapalgic and has other health issues which affect her communication.  I'm her youngest and have waited a long time to find the right guy.  It's just hard as I always thought she'd be into the planning, and she wants to be but can't manage it.

    My FI is wonderful though and since I let some of my girl friends know how I was feeling they are trying to come up with dates we can do stuff.  It is great to have the support on here!Smile

    i am in a similar situation.

    my mom has been suffering from major depression for over 2 years and has no interest in my wedding.  it is very sad and sometimes i get really depressed about it.

    let me know if you ever want to talk about it. i can private message you my number.
