Ever since I was a little girl I dreamed of my wedding day. I always wanted this big glamorous wedding were I was the center of attention. I thought I was going to finally start planning that dream when my now husband proposed to me in August of 2017. We started planning for our wedding immediately. A week after he proposed, we had our venue picked and booked for June 2018. Now, I knew that people would have their input, and I was fine with that, but I started to get frustrated when his mother pretty much took over our wedding. Things had to be her way and her ideas. I kept asking my husband if we could just call off the wedding cause it didn’t even feel like ours anymore. Granted she was paying for a lot of stuff but, looking back I would have rather just payed for it all and had it how I wanted it. So the closer the wedding got the worse things got. My husband and I were living with my in-laws at this time. There were some long distance family that came for the wedding. There were 6 people coming to stay at the house that we already had 6 people living in. I was fine with them staying but I tried to explain to his mother that I am going to be very stressed and things are probably going to be very messy. So a day before the guest come to stay his mother is cleaning the whole house. She was moving all the wedding stuff that I was working on and throwing a fit cause we had a mess everywhere and needed to put things away. The rehearsal dinner was the following day and I tried to explain to her that I was not cleaning stuff up just to turn around and pack in the car tomorrow. She was pissed. The rehearsal dinner day came and our venue only gave us a hour for run through and to decorate. I had a lot on my plate. His mom shows up and immediately starts throwing a fit because she is asking what people can do to help and I wasn’t giving her answers fast enough. I tried explaining that I will let people know what I want them to do and you don’t need to keep asking. The next thing I know her and the 6 other random people she brought with her got their stuff and left. I COULD NOT BELIEVE SHE LEFT OUR REHEARSAL DINNER. I felt so bad cause my husband got so upset. My husband then received a phone call from his father saying how mad they were and how much time his mom has put into our wedding. I was pissed. I didn’t want them to even come to our weeding the next day. So it’s wedding day now. All the girls were in the house getting ready and then the moms arrive. His mom didn’t say one word to me the whole time. She didn’t say anything to me until the reception when she asked if we could get a picture together in the photo booth. There are many more little things that all just piled up to ruin our wedding. Now, I know the wedding shouldn’t matter and I should just be happy that I married the love of my life. Trust me. I am very happy that I married my husband but, I am truly upset that one of the things I looked forward to the most in life was ruined. My husband tells me we can have another wedding but idk cause I fell like it won’t be the same. So brides and brides to be. Have the wedding YOU want and don’t be afraid to speak up. I was and look were that left me, with a wedding that I wish I never even had.
