My grandmother raised me and I can understand her wanting to pay for my wedding. I have told her that I can pay for it but she insist on paying. Every chance I try to talk to her about something I want to do, I get a NO or you cant do that. I don't feel like it's my wedding anymore. I feel like my grandmother has taken over everything and it all has to be her way or no way. Now I am being compared to my cousins wedding which is in August this year. Everything she is doing for her wedding, my grandmother says why aren't you doing that and you need to do that. Granted my cousin and I have similar taste for weddings, but some things are different. I feel like my opinion doesn't matter anymore, that it's going to be compared and judged by her. Recently I bought save the dates with my fiance and my pictures on it. I love them, but my grandmother told me I can't send them out because it's not what you do. It's not proper to do that. That now I'm treating my wedding like it's just some kind of party. I just don't know what to do or say anymore. I asked her to please stop comparing my wedding to my cousins. To stop comparing me to my cousin, which it only caused a fight and her saying I don't do that. I really just don't know what to do, I'm trying so hard to make and keep it my wedding, when I feel like I'm just failing. Sorry it's so long, I need a place to talk to others that could help. Any ideas or help would be very appreciated.
