We're very close, but she tends to 'take over' and tell me what to do alot.. well times that by 1000 and I think that's how she's going to be for the wedding.
It just seems that whatever I say she suggests the opposite... she's making my wedding cake and I've drawn her a picture and said the colours I want, now she's making it different colours as she thinks it will look better... we were talking about the tables in the reception and I had a very specific colour scheme in mind (i.e. yellow tableclothes) and she said she thinks I should go for white tablecloths with yellow runners... she's doing my head in! Whose wedding is this??! I know she's trying to help but when she puts down every one of my suggestions it starts to grate on me!
My parents are also buying my dress and I don't think this is a good idea either. I've set my heart on a Maggie Sottero one, obviously a bit more pricey, mum is trying to sway me towards getting one from debenhams! I know it's to save her money, but I would rather pay for it and get what I want, rather than trying to please her and getting what she wants! I said I won't be pushed into getting something I don't want and I would rather she 'put towards it' if that helps.. but then she went all funny on me.
I probably sound like a spoilt brat right now and I do appreciate what they are doing, it's just getting on my nerves already!
