So I blocked the hotel rooms today and told FH to tell his parents so they could book their room. So his mother was asking about the rooms and how much they costs and FH was talking about money. She responded 'it was your choice to have a big wedding', big wedding it's 120 people and it is on a sunday afternoon at a place where we are spending $77pp. There is nothing big about it, he wasn't even asking for anything it has been FH and I and my parents that have been putting in all the money. She is the one always saying things like wouldn't it be nice if you had your wedding at a place where they do one wedding at a time, or that we should have the wedding on a sat night or have the RH for a longer time span!!!!!!!! I don't think she understands what weddings are like here, she is used to weddings in Trinidad where people get married at the local high school or at peoples houses, which is fine but dont call my wedding a big wedding I wish we could have a big wedding at the place of my dreams!!!!!!!
My fh and I are both West Indian I totally understand your frustration. When we first got engaged my fh and his mother thought that she would be baking our wedding cake for us. ummm.......no.......... I don't think so. I slammed down that offer faster than it was offered. lol.
Im sorry thats tough but try not to stress over it. I know it may be hard but just do your best to ignore the comments. It's your wedding and your choices. If she continues to say things or make comments maybe talk to your FH about asking her to as polite as possible 'back off a bit'
oh Ren, i'm sorry! since she is not from here, she probably thinks your wedding is going to be huge and talks nonsense sometimes. try to ingore her and don't take it to personally. i hope this works out!
