no offense if this is what you are used to....I am trying to plan an elegant wedding. My fiance's mother is like brain washing him. She is making him think that he is a horrible person if he does not invite all 60 people that she wants there. The problem is we are college students and do not have the funds for this. My parents are contributing $3000 but only if we have a nice wedding because they know that is what I want. The mother of the groom would just like us to have the ceremony and reception at a church and have her make the food for all 100 plus guests and have the grandma do the flowers and stuff. His mom has had 4 wedding herself and done a wedding for her daughter without money so it was white trash style. Besides, i want to do the shopping and stuff with my mom...she has had her time to get excited with her daughter plus she has another daughter who is engaged. How do I get her to acknowledge that she is crossing the line when my fiance avoids confrontation
