    My wedding is really small because both my fiance and I keep to ourselves a lot. We tend to mix in small groups at a time only.

    Trying new tact with my mother to get her to understand me?

    My mother has always opposed anything I do, say etc, It is because I am artistic and creative and she thinks that I "always have to do something different". I think she thinks it is deliberate, but it is actually who I am. I am not that different form most people really, but I have a really wild...
