    We were lucky. Our moms were pretty great, so there was no need for arguing. His mom paid for and planned the rehearsal dinner (but she made sure we liked the menu). My mom paid for the food at our reception. Everything else we planned and paid for on our own.

    God yes. My mom and I have very different ideas about everything. We don't argue in a bad/mean way, but disagree about a lot of things. Most of them, I have given in to her. =/

    Future in-laws are pretty hands-off. FH's stepmom has said a few rude things to me, but I just let them go. She's like that in general, and he's not very close with her.

    Nope, no arguing because I didn't ask for help, or opinions. Did everything either on my own, or with my H. I didn't talk about details much.

    FMIL has gone out of her way to NOT step on my toes, and it's amazing. She asked us our opinion for a dinner she would host the night before the wedding to see if it's even something we want to do (destination wedding with no rehearsal dinner). She knows the location really well but is not intervening at all, but will give me suggestions whenever I ask. FFIL isn't a talker and my dad hasn't really talked to me since November, and my mom is happy with whatever I pick. So lucky!

    HMMM.


    My moms been pretty helpful, she gives me opinions and is helping me pay. She really wants me to have this wedding, and so I'm keeping a few traditions I'd normally skip, to make her happy.

    My FMIL however, has only made a comment about the location, and how some people find it too far, so it would be easier if we picked a venue in the middle...I didn't listen, obviously, because 100% of the guests travel. & Not everyone's "In the middle" location will be the same.


    I am trying to keep the planning mostly to myself, occasionally asking for advice/opinions/etc.

    Easier that way!

    So far no, I don't ask them for opinions unless I am truly torn.

    Innocent. No pay no say... We are footing the bill so no one gets to decide on things besides us.

    No, but yes to my fiancé about having his niece there. Only two kids I want is his little sister and my son because it won't be fair if I don't have all my nieces and nephew. Also argue with my sister about talking herself in and out of my wedding party.

    My FMIL pushed me to the point of almost cancelling the wedding. She isn't speaking to FH after hanging up on him last night because he didn't invite someone she wanted inviting. It's amazing how many demands she has for someone who's not paying for anything.


    ETA: I did argue a little over allowing children. FH and I had decided only my son would be there, but she argued for FH's siblings who have to travel that they should be able to bring their kids. We reached a compromise with FBIL who is bringing his nanny for the younger kids and FH's niece who is older is attending, and my nephew is invited as well.

    My parents? Yes! My Grandmother? YES! My in laws? Literally the best and nicest people in the world who could care less how, when or where we get married as long we we're happy and I take care of their baby girl (youngest of three). I love them so much!

    Not Guilty but it's been close with my mom. We are lucky though.

    I feel like both our parents really want what's best for us and want to make us happy, so far no bitterness.

    Very guilty!

    We chose a non-traditional religion-free wedding with two sets of very Catholic families.

    Not guilty..so far. My mom seems to have absolutely NO interest in the wedding, and FH mom has only suggested sending out STD cards to people so far. I was against the STDs but I did it anyways.

    Yes my mom insisted on a full on Roman Catholic wedding for two atheist... it went over real well when her priest asked if we'd be raising our children catholic. Obviously not! We ended up going with a secular officiant

    FMIL won’t talk to me or FH about the wedding because she doesn’t want to have to volunteer her time. She actually hates me and doesn’t want us to get married 🙄 My mother and myself argue a lot about it but it’s nothing major.

    Not really. My mom is really supportive and understands my vision for the wedding.

    I am meeting with FMIL soon to talk about wedding-related things though and from what FH says of his last conversation with her, it might go a bit awry...
