Mom update

My mom just sent me an email that she just bought plane tickets for her and my sister. For a while now the plan had been that only my sister was coming. But I don't know how to react yet. My mom and I have been arguing a lot this week about negative comments that have come back to me about how I shouldn't have planned the wedding in Ecuador. People who before never saw anything wrong with it but now coincidentally have something to say. Basically making FI and I look like crappy selfish people. Apparently the source was my mom and all her negative opinions about how she doesn't understand why we're getting married here. When I confronted her about it she said she has nothing to do with it, she hasn't said anything negative about us or the wedding and obviously someone is trying to stir up drama between us. Not sure I believe that 100% but I decided to let it go.

Anyway with all the ridiculous drama going on and her elementary "silent rule" attitude towards me for the past weeks, I don't quite feel excited yet. I'm also anxious it's just going to fall through again (she had bought tickets like 3 months ago and something crazy happened with this same website and her credit card company and in the end there were no plane tickets) She says Monday night my brother gave her concrete plans of where he'll be and with that info she felt at ease to come. Yes, it's good news.. but I still feel a little suspicious. I'm sure it will wear off soon once things are better between us and I'll get all excited again. But for now I'm not getting my hopes up too high yet. Just wanted to share the update :)

Re: Mom update

  • Well, It's definitely a step forward.  And just to clarify something:  is your sister your MOH?  Any news on her yet?

  • yay!! I really hope things work out & that things will be at peace! Even if she is the one spreading that information around, don't let it bother you.  It is what you wanted and you cannot please everyone and everyone will always have something to say: positive or negative...
  • I'm excited for you, Nati! I think once the drama settles down, you're going to be so excited that she's coming. And I hope the tickets go through this time!

    Thank you guys! I'm hoping things go smoothly and you're totally right bout the negative talk. I'm letting it go because it's not worth my time. As much as it ticks me off, it's not worth it.

    Nancy, my sister should be my MOH lol! She's been the only sure guest of my family so far and one of the most supportive! She's kinda young though so I had chosen to give that role to my best friend. Who answered one of my messages btw but only said she's fine and asked how am I doing. After that she didn't answer back anything else I wrote her. So no real news on her yet, but I think I'm already starting to see where this is going.

    I think so too Bride! Thank you! :)
  • I'm crossing my fingers for you Nati!! I hope everything with your mom works out.  Definitely just avoid the negative commentary from people, they'll get tired if it doesn't get you upset or if it doesn't appear to aggravate you.

  • Hugs, I hate that people are making things stressful for you.  I hope things dont change with your moms plans and that she makes it to the wedding.  Hugs!
