My mother is a MOB-zilla. Up until now, she hasn't wanted to help with anything. My parents aren't on the same page and refuse to be. My dad gave me a budget and told me to spend how I want. My mom says it's her money and she gets final say on everything (we agree on almost nothing). I've hired all vendors, and now she is saying she is taking everything over when she comes to visit for Christmas. I can't get around her, and I'm too weak to handle all the stress. I've seen brides so stressed out that on their day, they just want it to be over. I remind myself constantly that the point is my marriage and not the wedding. Nevertheless, a wedding is a production (there are many people to hire and decisions that need to be made). Bottom line, my mom doesn't like planning, but also doesn't like my decisions. I want a nice wedding, but I also want to elope. P.S. There are no frills, just minimum. I think I've lost my mind. What would you do? Should I elope?
