Hi everyone!
So I need to go on a rant for a moment here as many of you may understand how I’m feeling.
Recently engaged, we’ve got official plans down (venues and date)!However sharing the news with my mom, she is not happy one bit. One, she’s angry about us having a Friday wedding, claiming no one will show up. (We’ve thought long and hard about this before choosing. Friday will be no problem to most guests)
Two: She’s also expecting us to do an entire traditional Polish wedding as I’m polish, FH is not (he is American/Irish).We’ve both agreed that we’ll be doing what we want. We’re also paying for the entire wedding ourselves. He said we can do whatever we want as long as it’s what I want and I’m happy. Part of this is not doing the whole Polish traditions. It’s just not what I want and I don’t enjoy these kinds of weddings.My mother is not respecting this decision and is not respecting the fact that we also need to include my FH’s family as well, not just the Polish side. Also that “American” banquet halls don’t do the same things as “Polish” ones. Now, I completely understand where she is coming from. All she’s ever known and seen is how Polish weddings go. But at the same time, it’s our wedding and there’s other things to consider for FH’s side.
I’d like to say I don’t care about what she thinks, because in a way I don’t, but it’s just very frustrating and hurtful that she’s complaining so much about what we’re doing (or rather what we aren’t doing) instead of just being happy for us and celebrating this big moment in my life.
On the other hand, my in-laws are ecstatic and support all plans, through and through. So that’s to end this on a good note!
Any words of positivity or advice!!??
