Brides and their Moms
I have a friend who is getting married, her original wedding date was on May 1st 2010. But that date has past and she still is not married, the reason is because her mother decided to change her wedding date according to her own personal schedule and budget. Eventhough she is paying for her daughters wedding that should not correspond with her deciding her wedding date. My friend feels like she is not allowed to make any decisions for her wedding like the most important thing, the day it will happen. Now she has rescheduled it again from June 26 2010 to July 17 2010, I am not too sure how it will happen or if it will even happen at all. However, I do not agree with her mother controlling the whole event that is suppose to be the most important event in her life. She did ask me for my advice and I advised her to do whatever is going to make her happy and something she will always remember in great fashion. I dont think anyone should have to stress about their wedding day and I also think that she should have people taking orders and directions from her on her day. I know that her mother has a big impact on her life and she loves her very much but if it was her mothers wedding day she would want nothing more but to do it her way as well.

The first question that I ask myself when I read your post was: Is the mother of your friend fully paying for the wedding? If yes, maybe her mother faced some financial issues and was able to afford the marriage on May 1st. Since you advice your friend to do whatever is going to make her happy, but she does not have the money to pay for her marriage how is she going to do? On the other hand I am completely agree with you on the fact that a marriage is a personal decision and event. When you decided to get married you are the only one responsible for this decision. Since she is very influenced by her mother, maybe your friend should take her courage and seriously talk over about this important problem with her mother, explaining to her that she really do not want, or cannot wait any longer.
