During the process of planning my wedding, I've run into a few situations where I don't see eye to eye with my mother. For example - RSVP cards. She wants me to have them included in the invite, but I don't. I like having people RSVP on the website. I think she thinks I'm going to look 'cheap' for not including them. However, I just want something simple and easy - and if I have a website that keeps track of it, why not? Besides, I'm saving trees!
Though I do sometimes complain, I'm definitely going to try and keep this at a minimal. I was at work the other day talking about the RSVP thing and basically complaining. I suddenly realized that this other girl in my office who has lost her mother could probably hear me and I felt horrible. It just hit me how terrible it would be for my mother not to be involved or here for such an important event in my life. I am so grateful that both my parents are healthy and happy to be at my wedding.
Looking back, I feel a little stupid to even letting myself get annoyed about something as simple as RSVP cards. So she has a different opinion - I shouldn't let it get to me. And from now on, I'm going to remind myself how luky I am to have her here to help discuss and plan my wedding.
It's funny how you can lose sight of the big picture when planning the details. Who cares whether I have a limo, RSVP cards or how long the ceremony will be. The important thing is the Boy and I celebrating our marriage with our favourite people around us.
