I'm getting married at the end of July, and we're in the final stages of planning our wedding. The invitations just went out, I'm looking into booking a limo and getting the final details ironed out. A few days ago, my dad called me to tell me that he'd found mistakes in the invitation he'd just received. He didn't call to say "hi Sweetie, how are you?" He didn't call to compliment us on the fact that the invitations were tri-fold, in 3 languages, had maps and directions and an RSVP included, as well as a return envelope with stamp included. He called to complain about spelling. I was so upset after talking to him that I burst into tears.
Another big issue is my fiance's grandmother. She is a very traditional, stubborn person and doesn't seem to understand that this is (a) not HER wedding and (b) not a completely Chinese wedding (my fiance is Chinese, I'm not) and that (c) we have things under control. She calls daily to offer "advice" and make sure that things are acceptable by her standards.
I don't feel like I'm getting the wedding I wanted. Of course, I'm willing to compromise, but I sometimes resent the fact that everyone else seems to think they know better and should take over... where's OUR voice in this thing?!? (maybe we should have just eloped?...)
I need someone to tell me that things will work out... I need to hear it... PLEASE someone tell me it's all worth the stress!! I even joined a gym to get back into shape and destress...(maybe we should have just eloped?...)
