My cousin is getting married next year (she's 25) and she has only been engaged for two months and our family is asking of very stupid, rude, and just plain insensitive requests. She and her fiance chose a date that was significant to them and what would work best-- but everyone's telling them to change the date. They're saying she should have thought of everyone else's needs and not just hers. And everyone is telling her who she can and cannot invite, who she "will" invite, what she "will" wear, etc. She called me last night just bawling her eyes out!
She and I are around the same age and I think she needs another person to support her in all of this. First of all, are our family's requests absurd? what should she do to try to get through this without offending anyone? what can I do (as a bridesmaid as well) to ease this stress? How do we tell our families to respect her wishes and what can I do to help her build that confidence? This is supposed to be a happy time for her, not sad!
