My parents aren't acting excited

There could be something going on with her that she's being distracted by. I wouldn't take offense, especially if you have great relationships with both of them.

My mom did the same. She's going through a rough patch. I have to take her disinterest with a grain of salt. Sometimes she's all about the wedding. Others, she's stuck in her own mind. Nature must take its course with her.

That's exactly how my MOH is acting. Someone told me that she may be jealous but I dont know. When I first showed my mom the dress I picked out, she didn't act excited and then when she saw it she loved it.

Maybe your Mom isn't acting excited because it's not very real to her yet. How is her relationship with your FH?

Thank you! I guess the "something going on with her" is simply that she has a life too and other things to worry about besides me haha.

Her Mom passed away a few years ago too and I have my grandmothers original engagement ring so I know that she is super emotional about that.

She loves my fiance so I know its not that. I guess I will just have to see her reaction after this weekend!

It may be because there's still a lot of time until the wedding. I didn't feel like a lot of people got excited (including FH's parents and my dad and stepmom) until we passed the one year mark, even though we were booking things and making plans. I hope she gets more into it as time goes along.

I had the same issue. Just give her time. She's probably incredibly excited but it's still so far out. No one feels the urgency that you do. I'd be willing to bet you'll see a huge change as the wedding gets closer. Chin up, hang in there

Agree with Rach!!! My mom is being wierd too, for my sisters wedding she wore this super cute strappy hot pink dress, and for my wedding she has been trying on dresses and sending me pics and they are so ugly. I keep telling her they aren't fancy enough but their hideous! They make her look old and washed out, I keep telling her something like the hot pink dress but she isn't listening. Then she sent me a text saying that she picked her dress and that was that. I just really wanted her to stand out and look like the young hot mama that she is!

That's how my mom is too. It makes me pretty sad actually. I just try to talk about it a lot I'm hopes it will spark her interest. I hope your mom comes around

My parents were like that in the beginning, I felt like they didn't care. Now that we are 4 months & 27 days (who is counting?!) out they are in full wedding planning mode!

I think the closer they get the more excited they are.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I really think I'm just over-sensitive and I see some friends who got engaged around the same time have already gotten the dress and the venue. We also live 14 hours apart, so this whole process will be difficult. I feel better thought that you guys all had the same issues!

My mom hardly shows excitement for anything, so I didn't expect a lot. The only person I expected to be truly over the moon, was me. I was pleasantly surprised by how many other people were genuinely interested and happy too though. Not my parents though. Sure, they were happy, but being 4 hours away, and not having a great relationship with them to begin with, I wasn't surprised.
