The only one excited about wedding

Adriana, on April 11, 2009 at 4:55 AM Posted in Planning 0 5

I dont drive and my fiance works grave yard and sleeps during the day. I feel like im not getting the whole planning a wedding experience. None of my bridesmaids seem excited or intrestead in any of the details. Im doing all of my planning online. My mother is the least intrestead in my wedding she never wants to hear any of the details and when people ask her in front of me if shes excited about the wedding says "no what for". My sister is also getting married but in May and my mom is intrestead in all her details and gives her advice when I get nothing. I feel I cant bring my wedding up around her or else she gets angry. I dont understand how she is more excited for my sisters wedding than mines I ve been with my fiance for almost 3 yrs and my sister has only been with her for months. It hurts me so much the my mother the person who is supse to be the most excited besides me couldnt care less.Even when I went to try on dresses she didnt want to go with me. What should I do? Help

    This is very unfortunate and sad. I can only imagine what it feels like not to drive. I do so many wedding things myself and I would not be able to do them from home. Face to face meetings are crucial.

    As far as your mom goes, is there something in your lifestyle that your mom doesn't approve of? I think a good thing to do would be to sit down with your mom and be open about this to her. Ask her what the problem is and what can be done to alleviate the situation. You mentioned that your mom tells people "no what for" when asked if she's excited about the wedding. That statement leads me to believe that she doesn't like your fiance or there is something in your lifestyle that she doesn't approve of.

    Yeah thats the thing she does like my fiance and she does approve of the way I live my life thats why I dont understand why she is like this I have tried to sit with her and discuss how I feel but she always has something else to do and doesnt want to talk. She is always mean to me and only nice when she feels like it.

    Aww, im really sorry to hear that your mom is being like that. As i was reading this i thought well maybe she doesnt like your fiance or something...but you said she did...maybe she is just stressed because both you and your sister are getting married in the same year..and maybe she doesnt want to tell you...i dont know...Im sorry she's treating you like crap though...thats not fair and its wrong...she needs to not play favorites with her daughters...i would say talk to her when it looks like she's not busy...and if she tries to blow you off then dont let her blow you off...MAKE her listen to you...you are her daughter...she's your mother.

    I'm sorry to hear about your situation, you know i'm 26 years old and i have only been driving for a year and a half, i just never needed to drive, but then i had my two kids and realized that i had to do it so i did, i want to encourage you, whatever your reason is for not driving i hope you surpass it, everyday that i get into my car im just sooooo grateful for it, and i just want you to know that there are a ton of us out there that don't drive but sooner or later you will need it and once you do it you will love it and your life will completely change for the absolute better. In regards tp everyone not being excited to your wedding, i completely understand, i finally found a friend who is getting married also and we just cant get enough of wedding talk, i dont think no one will be as excited as you only if they are planning on getting married too and then there are the ones that already got married and didn't like how things turned out but you know what, its our turn now!!!!!

    Im sorry to hear your delimma. Your mother is more than likely upset that she has two weddings to deal with months apart. Who got engaged first? Who announced their wedding date first? If it was your sister both times then mom may be upset that you didnt wait a year or two to start planing yours. Its just not fair of her.

    Have you thought of gently asking her "We are thinking of pushing our wedding back another year. What do you think...?" From her answer try to gauge her response. It doesnt mean you have to do it, but atleast it gives you a good idea of how she is thinking.

    Worse comes to worse you may just have to row this boat on your own. Good luck!!!!
