However, no matter how close we are, with the wedding plans, there are times when she DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She doesn't have a creative bone in her body and she admits that, but when I suggest something we could do, she'll shoot it down for one reason or another.
THEN, yesterday we were out looking at hotels, trying to figure out which one we were going to reserve a block at for the family coming from out of town (had we had more family, I would have reserved at more than one, but I don't, so we had to narrow it down to just one). Anyways, she brings up the fact that my aunt (who has been removed from wedding planning due to her pushy nature and inability to let me plan my own wedding) stays at the Hampton Inn and because she's going to stay there, we should get a block there. Well, Hampton Inn, while it is very nice, does not have any suites and I wanted to get a suite for the bridesmaids to get ready in. We have seven total, plus whatever entourage they may incur. The Hampton suggested a Handicap room, but there would be no guarantee that we would get to actually have a Handicap room due to the fact that they, naturally, go to handicapped people. Makes sense...
Anyways, I wanted to have everyone in the same hotel, so I was thinking the Marriot Courtyard (EVERY big event, my family stays in Marriot, so it kind of makes sense). Well, the price doesn't include breakfast, but we can work it out so that the price we tell people does include breakfast. This doesn't make sense to my mother and she keeps saying some people won't want to stay here if breakfast isn't included...especially your aunt.
Not moments later, she'll make some comment about how my aunt's opinion doesn't matter and my mother is so sick of my aunt sticking her nose in everything. I swear my mother has multiple personalities!
Sorry, just wanted to vent.
