Okay so today my mom decides she wants to start asking questions about the wedding. We have been engaged for a little over two months so we are obviously still working on everything. She starts off with "did you pick a date" we told her the date about a million times. So she then goes on about how we should get married on a Friday because it will save us money. We have to explain that we are having a lot of out of town guests and Friday weddings can get to be really inconvenient. She also goes on about how we should get married married the feburary after... or October.. We are getting married November of 2013... She also goes on about if we have the money because the wedding is really close.. (i did not know that almost a year and half away was super close)... She then starts saying well if you get married in this month we should do these colors and what color dress will I wear.. How much am I going to spend on my dress. How here friend found her dress on sale at macys for $99.00 etc etc. She then starts asking how many people we are going to have there? is it going to be 100... I explained that my fiancésfamily (his immediate family) is close to 100 people so we will be having a large wedding. Her response was we should cut out all of my fiancés cousins. We have already explained to her that my fiance is very close with his family. They are always all there for each other. I want to yell at my mom to get over I am going to get married. She thinks I am wasting my time doing all this and that I am stupid to get married. (this is because when she was married to my dad over 20 years ago they divorced when I was 5 and she's been with my stepdad for 20 years). I just needed to rant and ask should I tell her to back off? She is not paying for it at all but at the same time I don't want to hurt her. Is there really proper etiquette to tell your mom to shut up and get over herself and her opinions to why I pick what I pick and do what I do?
