Has anyone else had issues with family members being negative towards you and your fiancé? My mom keeps being negative about everything I tell her I’m excited about with wedding planning. She keeps telling me that I don’t have my own thoughts and I’m just going along with what my fiancé wants. My fiancé and I talk about everything and we come up with ideas together. She is mad now because I told her, we are planning on honeymooning in California. I told her we are planning on going to Disneyland, Knott’s Berry farm, and the ocean because that is what my fiancé and I want to do. She keeps telling me that is what he wants to do and I will regret it as I get older. That going to Disneyland is like us going to Six Flags or down the street to the Las Vegas strip. That everyone goes there, that we should go to Disney World instead, my fiancé and I, neither one of us desires to go to Disney World. Plus this trip is only the small one. Because we decided we wanted to do a small trip this year after we get married and a big extravagant trip next year. I told my mom that and she is like you won’t have money next year for the trip. My fiancé and I have been saving for the big trip. I’m sorry, I just needed to vent.

    You mentioned that your mom has been trying to help plan the wedding, which does show that she’s excited for you to get married! It seems like the problem is that you have totally different styles and visions for it. She is having trouble accepting that you don’t have the same viewpoints and ideas as her, especially since your sister did, and she’s just placing that blame on your fiancé. It seems like she isn’t coming from a place of ill-will but just wants to make sure you won’t have any regrets!
