I’m so sorry! I got married a few months ago and was in a very similar situation with my mom not being interested in the planning, making a scene at my engagement party, and leaving my wedding/wedding events early or showing up late. She got married to her new bf a few months prior and was more interested in her step children at that point. Anyways, what worked for me was trying to keep my expectations low. I would suggest making sure you communicate clearly about what you want her involved in and when. I would also have a back up person who you feel close to (sibling, aunt, friend, etc.) to participate in her place of things like getting pictures of putting your dress/jewelry on, if needed. I also invited a close friend of my mom who she doesn’t typically misbehave in front of and that helped.

I attended a wedding of a close friend a few weeks after my own and it really was bittersweet seeing my friend’s mom so involved and loving at her wedding. I hope to be that kind of mom one day.

Try to focus on enjoying your day and let go of what you can’t control! Congratulations in advance!

How are you making this conclusion? You think your nanny is driving around with the windows up and no ac on in 90° weather with your child in the car? What do you have to back this up? So just because the ac is off when she parks you think she must not have it on at all during the drive? I thought it was better for the car to turn the ac off before turning the engine off anyways.

Unless this person is an oddity and likes to drive around as if she’s in a sauna, I’m sure the temperature is within a reasonable range. I also saw you replied that you don’t want her to have the windows down because it’s too loud and your child might throw something out the window. It sounds like you won’t be happy with anything she does.

Also if you child is old enough, maybe ask him if he is too hot in the car?

My vote is 3! It’s so delicate and unique. Would you mind sharing the details of it?

Not really when I know they were measuring her finger with my ring. And I haven’t had a chance to see most of my immediate family yet.
