When this started it was my wedding. Now it's completely out of control. My FH and I agreed on a small, about 30 people, simply wedding. Then my parents came into the idea of MY WEDDING and we're on to 88 people. My dress cost ME 600 dollars more than I budgeted. The food is 2000 dollars more. And everything just grew. Every detail of MY wedding became NOT MY WEDDING! I just had an argument with my mom and I pretty much said the reason why she's paying for the food is because she added another 20 people which meant we had to add another 20 plus family because they-my parents- wanted them in so they agreed to pay for the food.

THIS IS NOT THE WEDDING OF MY DREAMS. ITS NOWHERE CLOSE TO IT. IM SO MISERABLE. Invitations went out already. She's never been understanding. I just wanna get hit by a car and have to cancel everything. This isn't the wedding I always dreamed of. It will never be. Just so heart breaking

I agree with Holly C- your wedding isn't just about you (even though it should be) it really isn't because everyone involved has expectations about what it should be like and who should be there etc. It explains why the whole "wedding business" is so materialistic and expensive because it banks on the fact that in order to please everyone you will have to have a huge guest list and a fancy dinner etc......we are just keeping in perspective that we were able to invite the people WE wanted to share our day with (plus a bunch of others), and that we are happy and healthy and looking forward to celebrating with the people we love most (plus a few). At the end of the day it will be what you make of it so if you go into it disappointed you will be disappointed no matter what! Don't let anyone or anything cause you to lose sight of the fact that you are marrying the person you have dreamed of even if it isn't the day you dreamed of....
