John and I are going to be married, May 12th, 2007. I'm very excited, and so is he. I've been getting super annoyed with his parents, because it seems like they don't listen to what we want at the wedding. So last night at the laundromat, John and I talked and wrote down what we want and don't want at the wedding. It made me feel a lot better, now ( Read more... )

Congratulations!! Ah, how I love weddings. What are the main issues you're differing on with your parents/in-laws?

I would give some advice on how to get through the stress of a wedding and whatever, but I haven't actually been married or anything. I'll just say don't settle for less than what you want, because it's YOUR wedding day and not anyone else's!

His parents are just being really pushy. I'm from Washington state, and his family is from New York (where I live now) and it seems a lot of the wedding traditions are different. Like I've never been to a wedding with a dinner, and they really want that however, John and I both decided we would like to just have a buffet style, like meat and cheese trays, shrimp trays, veggie and fruit trays etc... but everytime they find someplace new it's still a 'you can't bring your own food, you have to have $13 a plate dinners, and I'm just sick of hearing about it. I'm not having dinner at my wedding reception, and they are going to have to get over it.
It just seems like they want it so bad, so they have to keep pushing it. And personally I'm tired of it. I just want a month of no planning, and I want to be able to just be happy that we are engaged.

Hopefully that made sense.

It's like they want you to be happy, but they aren't letting you be happy. They need to lighten up and let you decide what happens, ya know? And it's so easy to say all this and be like, "Why can't they see it?" That's such a hard situation to be in. Don't let them push you around (which I know you won't do), and do what you want. =)

You didn't have much time to simply be engaged, did you? Your wedding date is so near that it was just automatic planning and no time to relax.

I hope you get some peace and quiet sometime soon, or else you might explode from stress. =X
