Anyone's mother becoming a total diva? My mom is normally very normal, but she is going a little over the top over my wedding. I understand she's excited, but is this behavior normal?
She came dress shopping with me and my BM's to look at MOB dresses and wants something that sparkles from head to toe, is form fitting, and has a slit up the leg. She was asking the bridal shop people to see dresses from designers that are much more expensive than my gown. The dresses she was trying on were completely over the top. I've said from the beginning that I am not dictating what anyone is wearing, but I just find this odd enough to comment on.
She also has specific ideas on which order makeup and hair should be done in (she feels she should be right before me, which may be true (I don't know), but I'd rather leave that up to the makeup artist). She also wanted me to make sure my makeup artist had a certain type of makeup and was trying to push me toward airbrushing because some friend of hers' daughter did it and she wanted it (my makeup artist said it wasn't necessary and I liked my trial without it).
I think she has a really skewed idea of the role of MOB. You would think she is the guest of honor the way she is so obsessed with her appearance at the event. She is not paying for any part of the wedding so would not be considered the "host". I can honestly say that at any wedding I've been to, I would be hard pressed to point out who the MOB is and what she is wearing despite her walking down the aisle. What's the deal?
