My mother who is paying for my wedding has asked me to do things I wouldn't generally agree to, since she is paying, I have kept quiet, when I really wanted to scream "NOOOO".
Until today!
Background, we are having a small wedding party (Bride, Groom, MOH (niece), BM (FI's son) ) My mother wanted a program, I thought it was silly and squashed it. Until, my mother thought instead of giving everyone a program, we would hand out single roses to all the women that attend. Thinking this was a waste of money as the roses will be left all over the venue, I said, fine I will do the program. I listed my FI parents and my grandparents on the program under a "We remember..." Section. It's small and on the back cover - not really that noticable.
NOW, my mom wants the Officiate to annouce the deceased at the start of the wedding ceremony...and if I didn't think that was bad enough, she wants my Sister-in-laws mother (she died last year) who would come to family functions because she had no one else (my sister in law's father died when she was little and they had no other family) Me and my sister in law tolerate each other for the most part.... Lets just say she is not my favorite person. And she has made some VERY rude comments to me over the past months, that I have swept under the rug!
I think the tears might flow today! Someone please tell me that I am right and Names mentioned at the wedding is morbid, AND that even though my mom is footing the bill, I don't need to agree to this! ACK!!!!!!!!!
