Her Mom Is Trying To Pressure Her Into Having A Big Wedding And Claims She’ll Regret It If She Goes Smaller
It’s not unusual for mothers and daughters to butt heads while planning for an upcoming wedding. Mothers usually want what they feel is best for their daughters, but sometimes they have the tendency to step over the line and try to take complete charge of the wedding plans.
One bride-to-be, in particular, is clashing with her mom, not over typical things like the dress or guest list, but the overall size of the wedding.
When she and her fiancé first got engaged, both sets of parents offered to help pay for the wedding. Although it was a very nice offer, she realized that she wasn’t interested in a big, extravagant wedding. Neither was her fiancé.
“We’re both more comfortable with the idea of a nice little relaxed ceremony somewhere beautiful and intimate,” she explained. “Which obviously has the added bonus of being cheaper.”
But someone in the family has an issue with this idea – her mom.
Her mom has told her numerous times that she will regret not having a larger, more traditional wedding.
Her mom seems to think that a small wedding is a waste of time and that it won’t be special at all. Not only that, but her mom is being selfish and disappointed as she wants to see her daughter have a fancy wedding.
The bride notes that this argument between her and her mom has been going on for over two weeks.
It’s all they seem to talk about these days, as it comes up every time they try and have a conversation.

Eventually, she had to put her foot down and explain to her mom that the only way she’d have a big wedding is if her mom paid for the entire thing.
Deep down, she knows her mom can’t afford it. But her mom is willing to go to great lengths to have the big wedding paid for, including borrowing from other people.
Still, the bride insists that since her mom is the only one that wants there to be an extravagant wedding, her mom will have to pay for everything herself.
Would you settle for a big wedding if it was paid for, or hold your ground for the kind of wedding you truly want?
