So my mother keeps pushing me to change my date. A conflict has come up with my FMIL inviting people from their work (they work at the same place) including one person who was fired and my mother has a lot of issues with this. Plus, my mother has concerns about FH's maturity levels- which she...

So my mother keeps pushing me to change my date. A conflict has come up with my FMIL inviting people from their work (they work at the same place) including one person who was fired and my mother has a lot of issues with this. Plus, my mother has concerns about FH's maturity levels- which she complains about. Now, my mom has told me, since the guest list has grown she is worried about how much the meal will cost since she has committed to paying for the reception dinner. FMIL has said she will pick up the tab for her extra people, but my mom is super upset. Which has lead her to ask me to push my wedding off by a year. She says she will have more money later and hopes some of these guest list issues will calm down. I know FH wants to get married this year and I do too. I am so stressed!

    I moved my wedding date a year and it's working out wonderfully.

    everything was fine, but then my grooms father got super ill and didn't make it. I made the decision to move the date and my groom was very unhappy at first, but has since agreed it was the best decision.

    besides, as it turned out the day that would have been our wedding I was terribly sick!

    on top of it all, I've since come to know a designer who is going to be my extra pair of hands in making my bridal gown. I could have done it alone, but this is all so much better for everyone.

    sometimes things just work out better when you hit the pause button.
