My mom is driving me C-R-A-Z-Y!
She is nitpicking and criticizing every little thing about the wedding..
1. Aaron and I haven't chosen a place yet
2. Aaron and I haven't chosen a date yet (we want to find a place first and work around what they have available).. apparently late next summer is not good enough for her.
3. She likes red. She doesn't really like blue or green (the colors Aaron and I were thinking about)
4. She said if i do blue or green, I should do navy for the bridesmaid dresses... also not what I was thinking of. I did consider it, until I saw some wedding pictures with bridesmaids in navy dresses. I didn't like it very much.
I think the light blue looks much better in the picture than the navy blue.
Besides I haven't seen a navy blue dress where I like the way the color looks.
Maybe I'd use navy as an accent color, but not as the main color.
5. We haven't asked my brother and sister to be in the wedding party... (We haven't really officially asked anyone yet)
What is annoying me is:
1. She doesn't really want to go see any places with me.. unless there is a possibility that we will sign and confirm that day .. before we leave. Basically she wants to go to pay and leave.
2. She doesn't want to go look at dresses with me
3. She doesn't want to really talk about the wedding
If she does talk about the wedding, its always very brief and then she has to get off the phone and/or she is all wedding-ed out.
4. When I do find a place that I like, she starts grilling me about costs etc. Then she'll go into some lecture about how we aren't millionaires.. Well
DUH! I know that. It doesn't mean I want to get married in the KMart Parking lot or anything.
5. If she does go some place to look with me - she will try to bargain with the person. Who seriously basically laughs at us and/or gets irritated and starts defending their costs. One person she was trying to get a better deal out of, kept telling her how competitive the rates were (they really weren't, but geez.. if we can't afford it, I'd rathr just leave).. and getting really irritated.
anyways.. so much for my mom wanting to be involved..
I'm so close to just wanting to elope or something. Just to avoid all this crap.
