OK, maybe my title is a little exaggerated, but I am shocked at the way my fiance is folding every time his mom makes a "suggestion" about our wedding. She's chosen the place, the caterer and the florist. She even mentioned that she'd like to go dress shopping with me (just to give me another opinion of course, like I believe that.) She might as well be the bride for all that she's gotten to decide. The worst part is that when she doesn't agree with the things that my fiance and I have already agreed on, she criticizes them non-stop and tells us why her way is better. I'm sure you can figure out the rest, he just sits there and agrees that her way is better and leaves me hanging out there on my own hoping to finally get to make a decision about my wedding, which is being funded by my family. I'm not sure if this is the kind of attitude from him that I've just got to survive until after the wedding, or if this is a sign of all the meddling that awaits me once we're married. I've never had to many dealings with his mom before this, and I have to say that I liked it much better when the contact was minimal.

You HAVE to talk to your fiance about this. You are paying for a wedding where you and your husband-to-be aren't making the decisions? I hate to tell you, but if you don't stand up for yourselves now, this will only continue. You don't have to be rude, but you DO have to set boundaries, or she will think her "advice" is helpful and not harmful to your marriage.

You MUST speak up and let her know that you appreciate her opinions and will consider them but it is your wedding and it is about what you like and what you want for your special day. Don't allow anyone to choose for your; otherwise down in the road you will be angry at yourself for doing the things you dreamed of.
