Hi everyone. Ill keep this as short as i can.
Im surprised by my moms lack of excitement and involvment in my wedding plans. I always thought when the day came shed be right there beside me. Sigh
I began planning my wedding about 6 months ago...i have a 9 month old and he keeps me so busy so i thought id hire a wedding planner. After the consult it was more than i wanted to pay for so my mom told me ahe would help me and not to worry.
She has offered to do some tasks for me but never did them. She says she will help me to meet vendors and take an unpaid day off work to come. Doesnt really make me feel good asking her when she puts it like that.
I wanted to have a pre wedding pig roast at their home...so i thought shed help me plan it but all she did was ask how the plans were going for it. I am so overwhelmed trying to plan that plus our wedding plus my sona first birthday i finally told her we decided not todo the roast. Her reaponce was "i feel badly like i should be planning it". Not dont worry ill handle it then. I juat said forget it.
My maid of honour is my sister and she lives on the other side of the country...so she cant help me much nor plan a shower. I thought maybe my mom would...but she never mentioned it once....so no shower for us.
When i first started planning the wedding i remember asking my mom for advice and asked her how she planned her wedding. Her response..." i dont really remember. I was working a lot...and my mom did most of it!" Wow......thanks mom.
I am ready to send out my invites and am having the rsvps sent to myself...after all i am planning it. When i told my mom she seemed weird and said..."i think all ours went to my parents!" (Ya because SHE PLANNED YOUR WEDDING!!!!)
Thats about it....dont know what to do or say....im disapointed....but i guess at the end of the day...its our wedding and can pride in knowing we planned it ourselves.
My mom loves my fiance...so its not like she doesnt approve of the wedding...im shocked at her involment..or lack there of.
