Today, I'm planning my wedding. My mom keeps changing my ideas to what she would prefer. We wanted a small intimate wedding with 30 quests max. We will be having 100. We have to pay for everything without help. FML

You deserved it 32

You just need to lay down the law before its too late. This is YOUR and your partner's big day. It's a decision for you two, and your wallet. She can't make any decisions if you don't let her. Stay strong and power through.

revoke her invitation if she cannot keep her mouth shut.

Sit her down and explain that, while you understand that she want to make your wedding memorable, it won't be happy memories if the main association with the time period is that she essentially kept saying you were doing it wrong. It's likely that she is using you as a doll to live out her own wedding fantasies she gave up, so you need to rebuke her attempts before you wind up with the same regret chewing at you.

Sometimes moms can be overbearing. They want to live through us the things they didn't get or achieve in their youth.

Tell her if she wants that many people and wants to decorate her way, then she can go right ahead as long as she pays for it. Otherwise she can deal with the way you want it. Do put yourself in dept and be miserable by having things her way, not really the best way to start a marriage. You need to put your foot down and stop letting her dictate everything, it's not her wedding it's yours.
