This may be a bit long...
My mother has always said that she would pay for my wedding dress coz she would do it for my sister too. I really appreciated it so i'm letting her do this. But my fiance and I are paying for everything else. When i got engaged and we were first talking about weddings, my partners mother invited two of her friends to the day of our wedding, without asking us and before we had even booked it -.-. Then my mother tried to add TWELVE people to do the day of my wedding too! So we thought, if someone wouldnt pay to come abroad for our wedding, that they shouldnt be invited to the day of our wedding, wherever it was. So we booked our wedding abroad in Rhodes. We would still invite their friends to the party we were having when we get back, but I didnt know them well enough to want them to come to the day. However obviously we had a problem with the wedding being abroad that a lot of people who we did want to come, couldnt make it. So we brought the wedding back home with the agreement that we would do the guest list and have the wedding our way, as we were paying.
Can I just mention that as soon as we got engaged my mother said 'My father paid for my wedding and therefore invited all my aunties and uncles that I didnt really know or want there and dont let anyone do the same to you!'
My father and I dont speak so my mother is walking me down the aisle...
I have sent the save the date cards out to the guest list that we planned already but she sat me down last week when we were on our own to say that she knows that we went abroad to avoid this last time, however can she invite those twelve people she wanted before, and she will pay for them! As she is really proud of walking me down the aisle and she wants her friends to see her walk me down the aisle. I already had them down for the evening, just as i had them down for the party when we were going abroad. I feel like I couldnt say no coz she looked really upset however I feel like she is doing what her father did by controlling bits of my wedding. Shes already trying to decide what my table numbers will be and she wanted different colours for my wedding than I did. I dont want her to pay for her friends coz I feel awful but its going to cost an extra £2000 to have them there! Im currently pregnant and she is already driving me nuts with the baby, trying to have everything her way, demanding already when the baby will stay over hers and I dont want her controlling my baby and my wedding! She hated it when my bampi did it to her so why is she doing it to me! What can I do? Shes not the type of person you can sit down and say no to coz she freaks saying im unappreciative of everything shes done for me since ive been a child and stuff 
HELP!
Sorry its so long!! xx
