Hi ladies,
I have yet to send out invites will be going out late Feb/early March. But my mother has voiced her opinion on how she wants the guests to be sat and I DO NOT plan on going with her opinion. She didn't like that I disagreed with her idea and we are arguing about it.
So as many ppl know when the dinner comes most ppl are mixed up you will be sitting with ppl you know and ppl you don't know. My mother says I HAVE TO SEAT EVERYONE TOGETHER: my cousins and aunts/uncles together. I told her no I won't be everyone will be split up within reason, there is language barrier so I said the ones that don't speak English will sit together but those that do speak English will be split up. She then says, "No you have the bride's side and the groom's side." I told her yeah during the ceremony but at dinner once the "I dos" have been said, we will be one big family. She then goes on with "You know this entire wedding you have been doing everything you want and we haven't said a word (that's a fat lie. She has voiced her opinion about pretty much everything), the least you could do is honor our wishes for this part."
She went as far to say "well if this is how you are doing it then you could call your cousins and ask their opinions." ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! That's too many opinions no I'm not calling them! They are adults they can learn to interact with other ppl (my youngest cousin is 18)!
I am so MAD! She clearly, even at this stage, does not approve of my choice of husband after these 5 years...have you ladies experienced this? How did you handle it?
