hey y'all! this one is gonna be a venting post :)
y'all, i love my mom, but sometimes she drives me crazy! as some of you know, hb & i are going to get married, but we are doing 3 parties (one in mexico, one in the states, and one in japan) instead of a traditional wedding. our first party is in mexico on may 30th, and i really wanted to just have some simple parties where everyone just has a good time. good food and good drinks :)
my mom is driving me up the wall with the dress. i think she really had her heart set on me having a traditional wedding, and i completely understand it. i just feel like now the party is slowly becoming a big to do instead of just having a nice intimate celebration with family! my mom wants me to wear a veil - i don't want to because that just doesn't go with the kind of dress i have pictured. i feel that my mom wants me to look like a disney princess or something, and i just can't get on board with it. also, i would have a lot more options with dresses if i would lose some weight. right now, i'm feeling like i could care less, instead of being excited like i should be!
part of my focus for this week is to try to get back that feeling of excitement. and of course, exercise more! i think that jillian should get me into a dress that both of us would like!
hold firm!! you're the one who shoudl feel comfortable and awesome that day, and you'll be looking at those photos for the rest of your life :-)
ReplyDeletebless your heart, i can totally commiserate. except mine was my mom, my mother in law & my step monster. uhhhh!
ReplyDeletecome to think of it... i'm going to be in atlanta two weeks before your first party. perhaps we NEED to get together and have some wine=)
Sil, MOM'S ARE TURDS! You wear whatever you want. I didn't wear a veil and my wedding...I hope you have a wonderful time and CONGRATS! PLEASE POST SOME PICTURES!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Where in Japan? SOUNDS GREAT!
Another thing to be thankful for...your mother is there to drive you crazy about this once in a lifetime (hopefully) event! I envy you because I will never have that. You know she just wants everything to be perfect for her beautiful daughter. ;) I am sure she is just very proud and excited that she wants to share this occasion with everyone she has ever met. As annoying as she may get, it's all done with good intentions (I know you know that). Just ask her to relax, remind her that this is your special day, and not hers, and that you appreciate her input but you just want a nice, relaxed, chill wedding that everyone can enjoy! Oh, and wear what you want. I completely agree with Alice. :)
