What did your mom do or is helping with your wedding? My mom is younger and is very close in my life. More of a best friend. When it comes to my wedding she could care less. She just tells me whatever...

I always wanted to have my wedding on a Saturday night because it was always super important to me for the reception to be a great party. Good food, open bar, good music and lots of dancing. But now...
