in Military Brides
My aunt is driving me crazy... She reminds me of Professior Xavier Charles from the X-men. I didn't want children... there are children coming, I didn't want elderly folk.... my grandmother who could barely walk is flying in from Miami, I wanted a appitizers ...there is going to be food food! I wanted to keep the security at a minium... so my guest wouldn't feel like a terrorist... there are like four security checks. I wanted a small wedding of 50... my list is 120. My hair iliterally falling out. Stressed to the point where I'm starting not care abou the whole thing.

    I assume your talking about your wedding. Why is your aunt calling the shots? What do you have against elderly people and "food food"?

    Ok, I don't know what you have against old people, but I think it's pretty f-ed up that you are bitching about your grandma comming because she can barely walk.  She's your friggin grandma!  Have some damn respect.

    Anyway, moving on.  I don't understand why you are letting your aunt run the show.  Put your big girl pants on and stand up for your self.  This is your wedding, you make the decisions.  If you aren't going to put your foot down and take control, you have no right to gripe about it.

    I didn't read this until now, because I thought it was about moms IN the military, but if my grandmother couldn't come to my wedding, I would be heartbroken.

    This looks like a perfect time to establish boundaries and speak up for yourself.  If you don't, you lose the right to gripe.

    I have no idea what this has to do with military moms but you should do the following:

    1.) Stop griping about your elderly grandmother coming to your wedding.  It is probably a huge undertaking for her if she's having problems walking to fly to you for YOUR wedding.  You should be elated she's coming to see you on such an important day.

    2.)  If you and your FI are paying for the wedding and auntie isn't chipping in a dime then act like an adult and kindly tell her to buzz off.  If auntie is footing the bill for your wedding then you have to let her have say in the things she is paying for.

    3.)  if you're marrying a man in the military or are in the military you should get use to not having control over every.single.little.thing in your life.

    Is MOM some kind of acronym that I missed?

    Oh, and YOU... need to buy a set of horns instead of a veil.
