My future mother-in-law recently told my fiancé that she was planning on showing up to our wedding in a limo along with other friends and family members who aren’t in our wedding. We choose a location where the ceremony and reception are on-site. Even myself and my fiancé (and wedding party) aren’t using transportation because there’s simply no need for it.


We are also covering parking for everyone that arrives and will have their cars valeted. The drive for most people to the venue is 45 minutes, nothing extensive.


I’m astonished that she wants to show up with a group of people in a limo. It’s seems odd especially because none of these people are in the wedding. Along with a few malicious things she’s done leading up to the wedding, It feels like she’s trying to take some shine away from our day.


Please tell me, am I being a bridezilla by asking her not to show up with friends and family in a limo?


It’s so easy to get caught up in the ridiculous things that I don’t know if it’s worth my energy. But I really want to put my foot down and say no. I feel like I’m so easy going with most things but this just seems odd.


My fiancé and I are paying everything for this wedding so I feel like I should have a say, but again I’m not sure if this is a battle that should be fought. I would love to hear your advice Smiley smile

    A limo is actually very practical transportation for 4-8 passengers. And having a professional driver can relieve a lot of stress for people who wish to drink, or have issues with driving . Groups of businessmen take limos, and people go to conferences and weddings. You won't be rolling out a red carpet for her. The driver will pull up to the guest entry area, in 3 minutes they will be finished unloading, and he will leave. So what is the big deal, or problem? In a rural area, my great aunt goes with 4 friends to her monthly needlework conference and workshops, then out for dinner and drinks , regular thing. I go 4 times a year to a professional conference in an airport style limo, with 5 others. Better that than 2-3 cars, especially where 3 of our group cannot drive , and would never take turns. It is just transportation, not a party limo. Worry about things that matter more. Who cares how anyone but you gets to your wedding? No one.

    I think you're overthinking this, OP.
