My Mom did do the planning the first time but I did make most of my own choices. But Mom is the one giving me all the trouble about my Second wedding and Grandma! They think we should run a way and skip everything else. We are both against that in a big way! I think if my husband to be did not have a Daughter that would be ok. But being he does have her we feel she needs to be apart of the Wedding to understand that We are together and there is nothing anyone can do! We don`t want a real formal Wedding just more like a BIG PARTY! Yes we will have our first dance and will cut the cake but that is all. No, money dance or anything like that!

If you & your guy is paying for the Wedding than it should be what you want! Not what mom or grandma wants. IT`S YOUR DAY!! If I may suggest.. The party would be good. Find a hall that you can hold your ceremony & reception together in. Or do the Ceremony outside of the venue. By doing it this way you can cut a lot of corners. Where are you located? What time of year are you planning on getting Married? I`m sure if you do it not so up scale, mom & grandma will come around. They probably think people (family & friends) should not have to fork out again! But they (family & friends) will only do what they fill they want to do. And if they do not want to come to your celebration, they won`t! Of course it will be there loss.... Missing out on a great time.
Happy Planning, Cheri
