Have you argued with your parents or in-laws about the wedding?

Time to fess up!! Have you had a heated disagreement or two with your parents or in-laws about the wedding? Are you innocent or guilty? Next Question: Have you forgotten to wear your ring? Back to the Beginning: Innocent or Guilty?

    No, my parents and his have passed away. I have gotten annoyed at some family members for some snide comments saying I shouldn't have a wedding, and i'm about to go off on my future brother-in-law. Back in March he said he'd get the venue in his name because you have to live in the city to rent it. He offered and won't get back with us. We're paying, not him, and he is aware of that. He's around, even posting online. I wish he would either do it or say he's not going to. I can't plan anything until the venue is nailed down

    This has never been an issue and I don't think it will. We are paying for everything and my in laws are respectful of our vision.

    No, they give their ideas, we give ours, and in the end we say “it is our wedding not there’s” but no arguments about it yet.

    Nope. We didn't want anything huge or flashy so we literally let my parents decorate. My dad is so excited he found the perfect location on their property and literally sends my photos and messages showing me his new ideas. It's the most he's involved himself with any one I've every been with I'm just happy they like my fiancee.

    Not with my parents. But my mother-in-law doesn’t seem to want to be involved so we had a small argument about that. We try and include her but then she doesn’t show up. And then she gets mad cause she doesn’t know anything about the wedding 🙄

    Guilty! With my father and future mother in law. They feel their opinions should be the deciding factor knowing everything.

    INNOCENT with my mother. She has been more than helpful for us since we went into wedding planning wanting to pay by ourselves(me and FH) my mom is wanting to help where she can which is more than I can ask for. The only thing I required her to do was help pick out my dress and support me emotionally but shes an over an beyond type person. My dad is pretty much not involved in the process at all. GULITY Fh's parents and myself get into "disputes" (not arguments) about FH's financials(which I can go on and on about) , but I try to be as respectful as possible and make sure I stand my ground for him if they end up breaking him down. THATS MY MAN! lol I always compare us to a game of Chess . lmao

    Not yet. My mom is staying out of things because it's my wedding. MIL has already had the tables turned so much since her daughter isn't having a groom that she has no expectations anymore. And step-MIL just wants to help because her kids both eloped in a courthouse

    Innocent because we don't really even discuss the wedding details with either of our parents. Only our mom's are still with us and neither are helping pay for anything.

    Innocent, so far no one has told us how to do anything or what they think we should do so there's no reason to fight about it.

    Innocent so far! Everyone is letting us do our thing, especially since we are [paying for all of it

    Not yet, but that’s only because they don’t know yet.

    Innocent! It’s all been really drama-free so far!

    I've argued with my mother about it and no one else.

    Not really. We haven't really spoken of any specific details with family members quite yet.
