So my mother is enthusiastically planning everything for my wedding. She tells my fiance and I to relax and she and my sister (maid of honor) will do everything. My fiance on the other hand is a micromanager and doesn't want her to buy ANYTHING without him seeing it in person. I feel stuck in the middle. What do I do?

    I really would have a sit down with her and explain that you do want their help but would appreciate you and your FH having the final word on everything.
