So my mother who has been unsupportive of our DW from the beginning has bailed on coming wedding dress shopping with me tomorrow. I'm so disappointed and heart broken. This is such a huge day in my life and her excuse is "my ear hurts". If she didn't want to come in the first place, she should have just said it instead of finding any excuse! Luckily i have great friends who will be there but it is still going to feel like something is missing :(

Try and not let it get to you too much. I feel your pain..my mother has been shady re: my wedding also..and I am her one and only child. I saw this saying once...our friends are family that we choose for ourselves, and it could not be more true. We can't choose our family members....Be thankful for the great, caring friends you do have and try to enjoy the experience anyway!

Oops hit submit too soon. I was just going to add that the advice and support here is good. This is your wedding and you don't need anyone but your fiancé. People can be flaky but make this special and about you and focus on those who are there for you. Ignore the others!

I am sorry to hear that.  My mom lives in another state, so she won't be part of the planning process, but to be honest, she probably would've bailed too.  I keep her up to date with pictures and request her opinion on decisions.  You could show her pics of your top three dresses, I'm sure she will feel a sting in her heart to know she couldn't be there to see you in person.

My friend who just got married had the same situation happen with her mom. We just gave her so much love and attention. Her mom is very unhappy in general and let her weight be a factor for not being involved in anyone's life. On the wedding day I could see in her mom's eyes that she was disappointed she wasn't as involved as she should have been.

 

Moral of the story: She is an adult and she will choose to be involved or not to be. Unfortunately all you can do is tell her how hurt you are by her actions and then move on. Surround yourself with people who care for you and will support you.

 

We are here for you girlie!!! I'm so sorry you have to go through this!cheer2.gif

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
