I set up a tentative seating chart so I could visualize where to place family since my fiancé has a lot of siblings, nieces, nephews ext.
When I showed it to my mom I had at the head table my fiancé and I, MOH, Best Man, Bridesmaids, Groomsmen and our Koumbari (Greek Wedding tradition).
I had a second table on my side right up front to the head table for my parents, his parents/step parents, and the two priests w/ their wives.
My mom freaked out and said that is was so disrespectful that I don’t WANT her and my dad sitting at the head table. I explained to her this os tentative and I need to see:1. If my fiancé wants his parents (both couples or just his mom and stepdad) and 2. If we have enough room or if it’ll be cluttered looking
She kept screaming and finally told me if her and my dad aren’t sitting at the head table than they will choose their own seats and sit with people they want to spend the wedding with as she’s not interested spending the night with his family.
I’m at a loss and don’t know what to do. She obviously does not want to sit with my fiancé’s parents or the priests. Did I do something wrong with my seating arrangements? We’re not having a SUPER traditional Greek wedding and she knows this so I’m just at a loss….
