I'll tell one. I've never been married and I am not married now, but boy do I remember the whole process of my brother's wedding. Talk about a nightmare. To start it all off, my sister-in-law was very very sheltered as a child so her parents pretty much chose and did everything for her. Dont get me wrong, she's very nice, I just pictured my brother marrying someone different. But once they got engaged it got crazy. First of all, her mom is sort of a control freak. She tends to sweet talk her way into persuading and it works. My brother would've proposed earlier, only, her mom knew he was going to propose and pretty much suggested when he should. And not long after that, their engagement was only for 3 months which totally made my mom not happy and to be honest i wasnt either. First of all,the whole tradition of the bride's family paying and doing everything, SO not instigated for this wedding which made all of us mad and stressed. Her mom didnt throw the bridal shower...my mom and my sister and I did and paid for pretty much everything!. We created the bridal shower invitations, when it came time for the wedding, we decided light snacks would work because they were just having a very intimate and small wedding amongst close family. Second, her mom and her bought a very old vintage wedding dress that didnt fit her at all and made her look like an old woman. My mom, my sister and I had to decorate the church the night before the wedding and we bought all the decor. We made all the food for the wedding and bought all the food minus the cake. We did everything! This pretty much infuriated my mom because when we were decorating the reception area, we thought that round tables would look best, well when we got there..there were rectangular ones set up! My SIL mother being the control person she is...told them to use the long tables and she wasnt even helping with the wedding like at all!. Needless to say my mom had to hold her tongue alot that day to keep the mood up. The only thing my SIL mom did was decorate the pews..with the ugliest bows you've ever seen. All in all..the wedding planning itself was a nightmare, but if it made my brother happy then i guess it was worth it. Its funny though..he was kind of ticked off too about the whole planning process cause he knew what we did to make his wedding go off without a hitch. When my wedding day comes, I am going to use anyone I can to help and help myself as well.
