Many of us know how you feel. My FMIL is trying to plan the whole wedding. She thinks she knows my taste, but she does't at all. I have the reverse situation as she is trying to push us to spend even more than we want.
You and FH need to set limits with the FMIL, although it is easier said then done. Good luck1

Just remember it's your day!!! They had theres already!!! It's now your turn. And if you want to spend your $$ on the wedding of your dreams, go for it!!! Just ignore them. It's just the begining and it will get worse if you don't ignore them. I have learned that already.

Most people who have been married for a few years I am finding that their overall opinion is spend your money elsewhere. I think its because its a been there done that scenerio.
I wouldn't get nuts with the wedding where you are going to broke for 5 years afterwards but deff. have your day.

Re: errrr
Your FMIL Probley is having a hard time seeing you spend soo much money on one day, b/c in her eyes there is so many other things you can spend the $$ on...
However since it's your hard earned $$ she should not tell you where or how to spend it
