me! my mother has been amazing in every way possible, helping make my dreams come true to some aspect even if I couldn't have the full shabang. She's also been amazing at including making sure my unsure FMIL feels good about things and includes her in the little things that she might not have been included in if I was doing it all myself (teehee).
MY MOM IS AMAZING!! She took to wedding planning like a duck in water. She missed out on it with my older sister so I think she is enjoying it now. My parents have both been great, my dad went with us when we booked the venue and surprisingly really got into it. Although they have been great my whole life, they bend over backwards to help us out when we need it (not just physical things but emotional and mental support).
I love my mom so much!!! She is never difficult to deal with! As far as wedding planning goes, she's been awesome. It's definitely a plus that she's super crafty so she'll be helping me with a lot of my DIY projects :)
I have to say when I got engaged I totally expected my mother to be very demanding and hard to deal with but I have been pleasantly surprised. She has been so great and helpful. A lot like yours Miss-Spunkin.
She only asked that two of her friends be invited and has been very supportive of who I have chosen not to invite (some family members that I'm not close with). All in All she has been amazing and has tried throughout this whole process to keep me calm and as stress-free as possible and I can't thank her enough for it.
Me too! My mom came with us to look at venues, went dress shopping with me (and surprised me by paying for my dress!) and is super excited by all aspects of wedding planning. She is halping me research DIY centerpieces for us to work on together and told me "I have been waiting my whole life for this." My mother is the sweetest woman in the world and I am so grateful to have her in my life.
@marlew, mine too! I have cried many tears over this wedding, especially when I couldn't afford things I really wanted - she was always there to support me and tell me how beautiful it will be, and it's going to be even more beautiful because I'm putting more effort into doing it for less $$. It may not be the wedding in my mind, but it will be perfect. She is amazing.
@engaged with love, this is the third wedding for my momma :) She didn't get to help much with the first, it was mostly my brother & his fiance on their own, or her parents helped. But with my sister, my momma got to help a lot. It's really nice knowing that my mom is experienced in this a lot now too :)
While my mom has had her share of Momzilla moments, I adore her and she helps out all of the time.
ME!!! I HAVE A GREAT MOM!!! lol i love her to death other than FI i think my mom is like one of my best friends. She has helped with EVERYTHINGG its so great to have that much support.
@ottawa, my mom is really creative too! She has her own room in the house called her "craft room" which is a combination of sewing, quilting, scrapbooking, rubber stamping etc, so she is helping me a lot with DIY too!
@ms.smutty, same here, I thought the guest list would prove awful. My sister was blessed to be able to invite nearly everyone we know, because he husband was from another country, the wedding guests were SOLELY from her side, she didn't have to worry about cutting back. So she may have only had 100 people at her wedding, but it was all her guests. Now, my fi and I collectively have about 100 - so I only get 60. And I thought it would be a problem, "I was invited to your sisters wedding, why can't I come to yours?" It's totally different circumstance, and my momma has been soo understanding. She didn't challenge our decisions at all
@ottawa haha my mom is soooo non-crafty its hard to fathom! All the DIY project are up to me but she gives good moral support :)
My mom is so awesome!!! teehee actually, both my FMIL and my mom are just awesome in general, but both have been great about the wedding.
Both basically said “you are adults, it’s YOUR wedding” and haven’t tried to momzilla in and steal my thunder. We’ve only had to deal with a little bit of crazy from relatives so far, and both mom’s have handled the relatives themselves, so that FH and I didn’t have to (thank God!!)
She also has done lots of research online for me, and is always up for DIY projects or for looking for ideas for me.
@sjones - Lol!! Moral support is great too though eh? :) (sorry, I'm Canadian, I can't help it with the eh)
@miss-spunkin - My mom doesn't have a room but she fills their house lol. She has her own wedding cake business (score!), she quilts, knits, crochets, sews... she just recently did roman shades for my entire house!! It's insane. I didn't inherit any of these traits from her LOL.
@ottawa, haha that's funny! My mom knits A LOT too, she actually sells many things that she knits in a local boutique. Honestly, I don't know where she gets her knack for creative things, my grandma wasn't like this at all! I try to be creative, but it takes a little more effort I think. She just whips things out bit bam boom, and it takes me hours. I constructed my garter on Saturday, it took me two hours, haha. I heard from many girls it took them half an hour :)
How nice to finally see some good things mentioned about your Moms. Most of us will only want what's best for our kids, and no matter how old you get, we'll always be looking out for you. Enjoy your weddings ,ladies! (and maybe give them an extra hug! :)
my mom is awesome too! she is definitely one of my best friends and has been absolutely positive about everything! i love bouncing ideas off of her and seeing how excited she gets! definitey wouldn't be as fun without her!! :) :)
I say it almost everyday, "I have the best mom in the world"! ;-) I am so blessed! She is such a good, kind and thoughtful person. She loves my brother and I so much and she tells us and shows us everyday. It awesome to watch as she and my FI build their relationship. She treats him like a son now and he adores her! I love it!
One of the best things about wedding planning has been spending more time with her! We have so much fun together. She is one of my best friends for sure!
My mom has been WONDERFUL!! I'm planning a wedding IN (where I'm from) but I'm doing all the planning from LA (job training location) and Dallas (job relocation). She's gone to so many meetings for me with venues, florists, bakeries, printers, etc and has been a HUGE help in my long distance planning. I really don't think I could have planned it all without her help!
Yes - we've had our disagreements and all out arguments about planning (we're both quite stubborn to a fault and very set in our opinions) but all in all, she's been a blessing during the whole process! Thanks mom!
My mom - she is awesome woman, wife, mother, and friend. She has been such an amazing model for me all throughout my life. I love her so much!
<3 YAY for our moms <3
My mom is amazing! I work in NYC and am having my wedding in Florida (where she lives) so she has taken on A LOT of the planning. She's gone to bridal shows and researched vendors (and won an engagement photo session), she stops my grandmother from bothering me (she is NOT amazing) and is incredibly supportive. She's come up with some strange ideas but lets it go when I say its not part of my vision.
Holla!! Haha, sorry I know that's cheesy. But my Mom has been awesome, letting me do whatever I want or taking over if I request it. I've been so nervous coming to her sometimes with expensive requests (or at least more than what we discussed) and she's like "Let's go for it!" every time.
My mum is amazing. She is so supportive and excited for my wedding and one of the things I'm looking most forward to is doing DIY project with her and my sisters!
My MIL helped a lot with planning since we lived near her.
My Mama is pretty much a rockstar!!! She has pretty much done everything for our wedding being that it's in California and I'm not able to be there. I'm so thankful that her and my sisters have taken on the task of doing all of these things for my wedding. I'm blessed :]
My mom has been amazing. She is usually pretty conservative with her feelings but sometimes she gets so excited, it makes me more excited!! She's very picky about etiquette too so she keeps me in line :) We've literally had hours long discussions about whether the invites will be "Black Tie" or "Black Tie Optional"....but I love it!

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I read a lot of posts here about girls whose mothers are nightmares, and don't/won't help them at all with their wedding. It's so sad!
So I'm wondering, how many other bees have an AMAZING mother?!
My mom is soo cool. She is perfect, she will help me with ANYTHING I ask her to, but she's also more than willing to stay out of things if I want to do it myself. She would never go behind my back doing anything, and if I ask for help, she'd do it at the drop of a hat.
I am soo blessed and so thankful to have her, I wouldn't survive the stress without her help. I love her so much!!
Anyone else have a totally awesome mom?
