A woman finally found the person she wants to spend her life with and got engaged after being together for close to three years. When she told her mother her plans she faced a nasty dispute.
The Perfect Venue
The couple fell in love with a venue that is a little off the beaten track, a game farm, but still has better rates than any of the more popular venues around them.
Controlling Mother
However, her mother has decided that it’s not feasible to use this venue without actually ever having seen it herself because of the location.
They Refuse to Pay
First, her mother attempted to criticize her choice of venue, saying that it’s too far for most of the family. Then she proceeded to tell her that she and her dad are not going to be able to afford it.
Force of Hand
Her mother attempted to force her hand by refusing to pay and causing such a dispute. It may not be a conventional plan but it is what she and her fiancé wanted.
She was Furious
When she said that she and her fiancé have some funds stored away specifically for this purpose, her mother lost it on her, calling her narrow-minded for not attempting to move her wedding to a different location, even if said location lacks exactly what they were looking for specifically.
Her Mother Started Insulting Her
She told her mother not to stress about it and that she doesn’t need to pay for anything; they will manage on their own. Her mother’s response was to call her a brat.
Low-Key
She and her fiancé are both very low-key and simple people. They both agreed to a very simple, low-key, no-frills, and over-extravagant nonsense farm-style wedding.
She Was Insistent
However, her mother insists that a wedding planner is required, insists on fresh flowers (she has already gathered what she needs for fall colors dry decorations), and insists on several other things that they were hell-bent on not having (due to the fact that it’s not them and a stupid expense to boot), hence the choice of venue.
Regretful
She is questioning if she was wrong for telling her mother to basically shove it and telling her fiancé that they will be reducing the guest list and entire event to basically an “extravagant” elopement.
A Tense Situation
The situation has caused tension between her and her mother, and it’s unclear if they will be able to come to a resolution. Her mother’s insistence on certain wedding details that she and her fiancé do not want has caused friction, and it’s unclear if they will be able to find common ground.
The Internets Opinion
This person wrote, “your wedding your money. She tried to play games to get what she wanted and disliked that you could make it work on your own.”
Another stated, “Your wedding sounds wonderful. It should be a day you and your partner get to enjoy. You don’t HAVE to have a wedding planner, particularly if it is as low key as your desire.”
Further Internet Reponses
This commenter said, “Tell Momzilla if she don’t like your plans she is welcome to disinvite herself. Also, tell her if she is coming that she needs to keep her opinions and feelings to herself leading up to and on the day of your wedding.”
Another commented, “How on earth are you a ‘brat’ for keeping it simply and paying for your own wedding??”
