Im getting married in 7 months, and I feel that no one wants to help or cares main person is my mom. Shes not very willing to help i mean its not like she doesnt like my fiance, shes known im since he was 15 and hes 24 now, i just wish that my mom would be as excited as i am. I dont know what to do. How do i get her into the spirit of helping me plan my wedding. I know that shes been waiting along time for this soif anyone has advice for me i would much appreciate it thanks

You cannot make your mother as excited as you are because your level of excitement is not hers. You have to understand, your mother is excited in her own way, you are so much more excited that it doesn`t seem as if she is but I am sure that she is. Try to involve your mother more in the process of your planning, let her know that she is needed in your preparations. Talk to her and find out what her hopes are for you so that you will know. Remember, talk & involve! Expecially when you choose your gown.

So whats the big deal? Some people are just not the excited type.
More importantly, just delegate tasks to your Mom. This is a lot of work, you really just need some assistance. Once things start rolling, maybe she will take personal pride and get excited, and you will be somewhat satisfied because you had some bonding in the process.
