Due to budget reasons, I figured I'd have to resort to doing my hair day of instead of going to a salon. My mom and I were going to do it.
The thought didn't quite to appeal to me as neither of us are "girly" or know how to do hair. Plus her and I have very different ideas of what looks good. I don't think we've ever agreed on my hair (only thing we agreed on is to wear it down - unusual in itself). There's a big chance of us disagreeing, and I really would hate for us to be "snippy" with each other over hair.
So, FI's sisters had asked what I was doing. I admitted, for budget reasons, I'm just going to try and do my own. They said absolutely not. They said they were going to schedule me an appointment & they were going to pay for it as a gift. This honestly just made me very happy. I'm so excited that I can get my hair professionally done.
I told my mom about this - not realizing how important us doing my hair was to her - and she started crying because it was something important to her & she had been looking forward to it. In addition to the fact that I'm not wearing any of her jewelry and anything of hers. She felt bad crying about it - it was like an instant reaction and didn't even want to tell me.
I asked her if there is something important to her that she would like me to wear - she couldn't come up with anything.
So, I really don't know what to do to make her happy that day. I'm her only daughter, last to get married, so I can kind of see how this is important to her (though without "shorting" myself - not the best term, but not really sure how to word it).
I'm thinking of asking her to do my nails - as I'm not going to get them done. I had considered scraping up the money to have them done, but nails aren't that big of a deal to me & think that maybe this can kind of make up for the hair.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could include of my mother's on the day of? Or somehow include her in some way? She's been a great help in the planning (she's so has been a big help and a big part of everything already).
