*Rant*

I try to be positive about this wedding, but I need to rant and no one understands.

Weddings would be so easy if it weren't for the outside influences.

I have two teenagers in my bridal party who were measured for their dresses in February and now they don't fit in the chest. I think it's obvious their chests grew, however their parents think it's my fault because I picked the place and they were obviously mis-measured. But the other 4 girls were measured perfectly, their dresses fit like a glove with minor alterations needed and the place is very reputable and accommodating. But either way, how is that my fault? That's ridiculous!!

Then I had the easiest time with tables because we each have small families and different groups of friends, so I was easily able to sit my family between two tables and his between three and each group of friends at their own tables. It was so smooth. Well my mother wants to turn her two tables of 12 into three tables of 8. And his mother wants to make changes, that aren't that bad. But instead of sitting with her kids she wants to sit with her friends. Her changes are easy and fine, my mom would have me add a table which the room is packed out and I'd have to purchase another centerpiece, which I already had to do because we went over the minimum already. And she is adamant about this.

It's so annoying. Things would be so smooth if it weren't for all the extra bs I have to deal with from other sources. If I could go back in time one year I would've chosen to elope 1000%.

I used to think that bridezillas were horrible, but now I know how they turn into that. People will push you until they get their way. I'm lucky to have a sister in law who basically responds to people with wacky and costly demands by saying well i'm not asking for that because it is not my day as a not so subtle reminder that 'you got balls to be asking for things that you are not paying or coordinating for.'

I would politely tell both mothers that the seating chart is done and it will only be a short time that they have to sit there. They will be way to busy to care the day of.

Who's paying for the wedding? From the sounds of your post, it seems like you are, and in that case, it's your decision. If your FMIL's request is an easy one to accommodate and you don't mind making the change, I would just make the change in that case. However, if your mother's request requires additional tables and centerpieces, I would tell her that if she is that adamant about it she will need to cover the additional cost. Good luck!

Try and not stress

Your almost there! Just tell your mom unfortunately logistically and financially the changes aren't feasible but you expect her to be up and dancing all night so she won't even have to worry about who she's sitting with!

Exactly This!!! I feel bad because she's making my dad ask and I have a soft spot for him. I might add the extra table just to not have to hear anything down the line.

Thanks guys :)

I did a lot of things that my mom wanted only because I didn't want to hear her all night.
She insisted on a red dress. She wouldn't let me get a pink dress. She refused to wear her corsage.

I kind of regret not getting a pink dress, but I do love my dress and how it looked in the pics and video.
