We are in the early stages on wedding planning and I’m losing my mind slightly with my Mum and wondering which one of us is being unreasonable. I will start by saying she is an amazing, kind, funny, generous lady and my best friend. I love her to death. However!
She has complained about feeling like she hasn’t been involved in the wedding planning so far. The only thing booked so far is the venue and the photographer…
I mentioned we (me and DP) have an appointment to meet the florist and she suggested it should be her coming with me instead of DP…
I discussed our potential wedding menu with her and she had assumed her and my stepfather would be invited to the tasting session?
For our save the dates we were planning to use Khadi paper and a rubber ink stamp. She saw the stamp and tester we’d done and said “surely you’re doing to decorate them a bit more? You’re not just going to send out a bit of paper?”.
Finally, she has now said she doesn’t wish to stay in an Air BNB (my choice of accommodation for the night before the wedding, which she has not even seen photos of). I’ve told her she is welcome to stay elsewhere but I’m wondering if I’m being unreasonable.
Is it normal for parents to be THIS involved? Am I being mean for denying her coming along to all wedding related appointments? I am her only child which I think is probably part of why she is being like this but I’m feeling a bit suffocated.
