True or False: I’ve argued with my parents or in-laws about the wedding

True. I've argued with my dad about inviting distant family members.

True - although my parents are paying for the wedding, they've pretty much given us free rein, and don't interfere much. However there was a row about them wanting to invite two people who I absolutely do not want there. My parents have suggested several people to add to the list, who we have happily included (they are paying, after all), but I drew the line at these two individuals. Thankfully my parents did come around to my way of thinking, and to show that I wasn't ungrateful in any single way, I suggested they come up with two other people to invite instead, which they did (and I was happy to include these two on the list).

True! Mostly about the guest list.

FALSE. We talk to our parents about the factual progress of wedding planning vs. creative ideas or things that warrant opinions

TRUE. My mother-in-law hasn’t talked to me for 2 weeks since finding out my fiancé and I’s wedding date. I don’t know what to do honestly. My parents on the other hand are entirely supportive to the idea of me getting married.

I like this!!!! This is a very good point and makes sense!

False! So far it's been pretty easy and everyone seems on board with the decisions.

True! My fiancé’s mother is not in the picture, so I get to dodge that bullet, but I’ve got into it with my mom over the guest list!

True. My in law decided that our wedding was a waste and that we should change it completely to where it’s just a small group of people after MY family had already paid for everything. He isn’t paying for anything why does he need a say 😡. If you can’t tell I’m still a little angry about it

I’m have to say False on this one. 🤷🏻‍♀️Without my Mom and MIL’s help in my wedding planning, I’ll be so behind and incomplete, like running into walls and hiding under rocks. 🤣I’m a big procrastinator💩 and find it A-okay to wait until the last minute! Hahaha🤪
Happy Planning 🍷

The in laws are paying for the wedding. They've said repeatedly that there's no budget but they thought our choice of photographer and videographer was too expensive. The problem is that all photographers (at least the good ones) are very expensive. They've agreed to pay a certain amount and we'll have to conver the rest. I'm worried this will keep happening as more proposals come in from other vendors. I wish they'd just set a budget and let me allocate as I see fit. Then I'd know for sure what I'm working with. I'm very appreciative of them paying but having to go to them for approval of everything makes planning very stressful.

Not really- we kinda just got the mind set this is our and when I say our I mean (MINE) wedding no one is paying for it but us and when I say us I mean (HIM) and WE are doing everything the way we want. He is better at it then me cause I will give in and be like ok I guess, he is like no this is your day whatever you want, and however you want it. Let them plan their own wedding. So no everyone is kinda like just going with the flow (parents and inlaw )

In the beginning stages of planning we all argued. My FH and I decided on a destination wedding. My parents were unhappy about that and made it known. They’ve since come around to the idea. My sister and MOH and I argued in the beginning. My colors are champagne and navy blue. I wanted her to where champagne, which she strongly protested. Mind you, I wore a hideous neon pink dress to her wedding. We compromised on her wearing navy blue instead. There is not much left to plan and so the arguing has seemed to stop. For now lol.

True: my mother-in-law and her sister started putting their two cents in on everything wedding four days into planning. Sadly my fiancé is the one hurt because his main two women keep getting hurt by each other. His mom thinks she is helping when I see it as her getting more involved than I’d like and not allowing me to enjoy planning my dream wedding. Instead I’m asked to plan a wedding I like but that she and her guest are all comfortable first and foremost.

My parents are no longer with me but my mother and father in-law are very opinionated. My father in-law did not even want us to have a wedding but the other day said he was going to invite a business associate, I just laughed and walked away, I think he got the point. My mother in-law attempted the same but we were clear with both of them from the that this is OUR day and WE are paying for everything without their help ergo WE make any and ALL decisions. We've had no argument since.

Very much true 🙄
with my in laws I’m actually dealing with my future sister in laws. This year has literally been hell. Their acting as if it is thier wedding. I ended up kicking one of them out of them bridal party, sounds harsh, but in reality, I didn’t want things to escalate between us to a never coming back point. As for my mother, I can’t even vent, she doesn’t listen. She too, has her own way. Well, it’s not her wedding. I was a big push over in the beginning, trying to please everyone. As you can see though, I’m done.

True I have bumped heads with my mom but it hasn't been anything too drastic yet

Only in the beginning. Was quick to make it known it’s OUR DAY (bride and groom).

True. My mom and I have argued about the venue, my dress, the cost and so on. She isn’t even paying for my wedding

I have not really argued with anyone directly, but my FMIL and I disagree on quite a bit and I argue with her through FH. She's really anti-confrontation so she passive-aggressively tells FH her opinion and asks him to talk to me about it. I shut it down and tell him she can call me if she has a problem. I'm positive that message never gets back to her lol.
