Disinterested Parents

No one seems particularly interested in our wedding but us and my MOH and FMIL. My whole family seems to NGAF. My sister actually said, "What's the big deal? You have been together forever."

Whatever.....WE are excited and that is all that matters.

Mine situation is a lot like @Laura. FPIL are more concerned with his sister and her wedding that happened earlier this year.

My mom is excited but at the same time seems kinda jealous. Shes always saying that she had to pay for her whole entire wedding anytime she offers to pay for anything for ours. When we got engaged we planned to pay for it all on our own and that was why. She also told me that we didnt deserve the honeymoon we are going on and that we should wait a year to go on it that way we "deserve" it b/c we are married a year. ummm what?? Yea and we are paying for our entire honeymoon ourselves.

My mom is not very enthusiastic but she's not one to show her enthusiasm and I am a very strong personality so I think she's trying to avoid stepping on my toes.

My in laws seem very easily distracted and disinterested. It is VERY ANNOYING because why isn't EVERYONE AS EXCITED AS I AM ABOUT CHAIRS, PLATES, ETC?!?!?!? That being said, while I do understand it sucks when people aren't as outwardly excited as you hope, it's probably best to take a step back and get your excitement from within rather than outside. Basing your own feelings on expectations of someone else's behavior never ends well and you have a whole year of weird and surprising issues to take your attention.

Just give them time, next year probably seems far off for them. Don't worry and enjoy planning they will come around.

Thanks everyone. It's nice to see that I'm not the only one with disconnected family members. I'm going to give them as much time as they need and enjoy the planning process

I'm glad I'm not the only one dealing with this. FiLs are thrilled and are totally involved. As for my parents it's more like a burden almost. My mom flat out told me she wasn't coming down to go dress shopping with me. Background: she flew from Florida to Texas TWICE to buy my sisters dress and attend bridal shower when she got married. I completely understand the frustration.

My parents are the same. I just found out from my dad that my brother is getting married and both mom and dad and even my sister are all excited about it but I have not been given the same enthusiasm. Instead I get, well you two just need to get married.

I am definitely on same boat aswell my parents everytime I have tried talking to them about my wedding they either talk about there’s or they change subject and avoid me altogether which is so strange because I would never do that my own child , I would all in . And to be honestl it makes so angry . But I reading through the comments and I will take some advise given , they might start getting excited for me closer to the date, but my partners family are very excited for me and their daughter and even asking questions like how am I doing do I need help anything which is awsome . But my parents on the other hand have not even asked a simple question it’s like I have to force them to talk about my wedding it honestly does not make sense to me
