Hello! So, I’m recently engaged but I know the wedding won’t happen for another year and a half or so (house searching). But I decided to go and try on some dresses just to see and find out what I like and don’t like. When the day comes closer, I’ll have a clear idea of my ideal dress (I’ve never thought about weddings at all so this is a first for me). The thing is, my mom went with me because she wants to pay for the dress just like my grandma (RIP) paid for hers. However… throughout the whole process she just kept interfering with my conversation with the person helping me at the bridal shop. I’m talking about straight up cutting her off while the employee was talking. (I felt so embarrassed!) Saying how she thinks MY ideal wedding dress should be, which shade of white, style, how conservative, commenting on my weight gain and saying I “looked better” when I was a senior in highschool since I was skinny back then. Saying how everyone told her how she was the most beautiful bride they’d ever seen, how everyone just “raved” about their venue and how she was basically the talk of the town. That, oh! Her wedding was so great people couldn’t get enough of it.
I know she’s happy for me and I know she’s reminiscing (my parents got divorced) but i feel like she’s already crossing a line and I haven’t been engaged for even a month… so, I guess i just want some advice on what I could do? I don’t want to hurt her feelings but I also don’t want my wedding to be her wedding 2.0.
Thanks in advance!
