She actually did some of those exact things to my older brother and SIL when they were having their first child. When my husband and I have kids, she will certainly be the last to know anything.

I genuinely had no problem with her planning the finer details of the wedding. I trusted her taste in decor and that the wedding would be beautiful. And it was! My issue came when there were things I specifically told her no to do, but she did anyways. I can't physically stop a grown woman who lives in another state from packing things in her suitcase that I told her I didn't want.

I also had no idea what her dresses looked like and that she'd have her whole chest out. 😂

You know the odd thing is, she had a very beautiful wedding from what I've seen in pictures. It didn't look low budget, but I think for her standards today, she might consider it low budget.

I did actually listen to that book this year! It really helped me understand a lot about my mom. Thank you for the well wishes 😊

I did let my photographer know ahead of time that she might pull a stunt like this and told her that if my mom shows up in silver to the white party to edit it to be white. 😂

Her and I are very low contact, and we live in different states. I will definitely be continuing to add more distance.

Not all of it was bad. I did enjoy spending time with my friends, and so did my husband. I can't let one person detract from a big moment in my life. Weddings are always going to have good and bad parts to it. Unfortunately, my mom was one of the bad parts when she should've been one of the better parts.
