why are brides moms so wicked before a wedding?

Adam & Eve had an ideal marriage. He didn't have to hear about all the men she could have married... and she didn't have to hear about how well his Mother cooked
 
because they live in a fantasy world full of unrealistic expectations of what a wedding and marriage actually are

AND they want their little girls' wedding to be the perfect fairy tale wedding, since theirs wasn't.

It's a generational lack of good sense to know that such a thing is impossible, and can only occur in the movies......or if you're royalty, and have access to a gazillion dollars. 🙄

You don't need a lot of cash or be a royalty to plan the perfect wedding. One with a 1000 guest won't be better than one with 20 vice versa. It is just the planning that must be done beforehand. The "rich bastards" normally hire wedding planners and they try to impress the papers or who ever is taking snapshots of them. But the little guy do not have that public eye on them.

We are talking about mother in laws but I was more scared of the father in law who's one and only girl I knocked up.

pretty much. I never understood why people spend $50k on a wedding (when they don't make much more then that).

I gave my wife a option. a insane wedding or a house. she thought a house was a better idea. . it was cheap but still great.


lol reminds me. my buddy spent like 40k on his wedding. a open bar, proffesional photographer, proffesional video guy (heh not sure what to call him), well known DJ for the area, huge hall. if it made the wedding look better then any other he had it.

what happened? his wife divorced him 6 months latter!

(2) Daughter wants Her OWN wedding, sogetoutofmyfacemommydearestthankyouverymuch


(3) Men are best off shutting up, avoiding eye contact, and signing the cheques without comment
 
My fiancee's mom is awesome. She just lets us do whatever we want. My mom, however, she is heavy on Chinese tradition. Things have to be done a certain way. She was "heart broken" that I was not having a Chinatown wedding. I mean, I am not really into the whole go to chinatown, act like you really care about those people, eat, then leave, then spend the next day gossiping about how you thought the food was a joke and how they should have spent money on that. That and my fiancee is not Chinese. I stood my ground...my mom eventually got over it (or my dad forced her too).
 
I told my wife that I didn't care what she did for the wedding or how much she spent, but she could not spend one cent into debt or we weren't getting married.
