Wedding Dress Dilemma

So my mom has offered to pay for the wedding dress.... I picked my dress the first weekend of May and we decided to come back to order it. We had about 9 people with us and didn't want everyone to have to wait. We said we would be back at the end of May to order. I've been trying to contact my mom now for 2 weeks to get her to set up a time where we can go pay for the dress and order it but haven't had much luck..... is there a certain amount of time I should wait and then just pay for it myself? I've called and left voicemails and emails and she will respond to every other thing in the email but the request to meet up for the dress. I'm afraid she's going to back out of paying for the dress or that she is enjoying this power she has over paying for the dress. I just don't want to wait to long to order the dress and then get screwed......any thoughts?

    Pay for the dress yourself. You've tried to get in contact with her.

    Best case scenario is that she'll write you a check. I wouldn't count on that though.

    You're going to need to actually get her on the phone or see her in person and say "I really need to get my dress ordered. If you're still willing to pay for it, can you make time this weekend to go to the shop with me?" Then she'll have to give you an answer.

    Does your mom have a history of breaking promises or manipuating you with money?

    Yes, we don't have the best relationship and I'm trying to keep her involved in the wedding stuff but she seems to pull out the MOB only when it's convenient for her....I'm afraid this is going to her head.

    If you don't have the best relationship to start, don't expect a wedding will give her the warm and fuzzies and change all of that. Pay for the dress yourself and stop trying to *keep* her involved. If she really wants to be invovled then she will be without effort from you.

    I'm giving her until Thursday and then I will pay for it myself. Just sad that it had to come to this.
