mother drama what would u do? Sorry for the length.

So our wedding is coming up in a month. The whole planning for this has been fairly difficult. It was going to be a pretty big event but my mom ran into a few financial issues and so we thanked her for wanting to do it but we decided to take over and do something much smaller and simpler that we could pay for.

My mom has still been making this..i dunno..difficult? Her heart is in the right place but she keeps wanting to do things like add old family friends to the list, or add other things..everytime I tell her no because its not in our budget she says she can pay for it and then the drama starts.

The most recent development is that we have alot of family flying in. My mom did not want them to pay alot for hotel so we worked something out with her apartment complex..they actually rent out nice places for the weekend and stuff and the family was all chipping in and sharing one of these apartments. The problem is its not furnished so my mom said she would have to rent beds, and all kinds of other things plus she wants to pay for the rehearsal dinner. Its been a huge mess and ive kept asking her. "Are u sure about this? How much? Can u really afford this because it wasnt in our budget? Etc. she kept saying yes yes no worries. Well today she tells me she is going to have to take out a loan for this and put her car down as collateral. I am so upset! I never ever ever wanted her to do something like this! I kinda feel like I am at the point where I am so upset and frustrated with this whole wedding I dont even want it anymore.

I know you guys will be completely blunt and honest with me so please tell me. What should i do? Am I overreacting? How would u address this because everytime I try it turns into a fight.
