Wedding Planning Disagreement #1<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opinionated Mother or Future Mother-In-Law<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mothers, universally, love to give their opinions on topics. Oftentimes, without enough consideration of the situation or the feelings of their child. To your surprise, it\u2019s quite common for mothers to interfere in wedding planning. It could be something related to a wedding dresses tradition or who to invite or what religious customs to include. Don\u2019t worry, there are ways to deal with these conversations without being rude or straining the relationship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What To Do:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understand where they\u2019re coming from! If your mother or MIL is divorced, she might be afraid of losing her child\u2019s time & attention to another mom\/ family. In these cases, just a few loving words and gentle assurance can help. Other times, you might need to be stern, but polite. It\u2019s all about how you say it than what you say. Your masterstroke in this situation is finding details you\u2019d want to get her opinion on! This way she\u2019ll find less urge to give unsolicited opinions herself and feel important as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wedding Planning Disagreement #2 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whiny Unmarried\/ Divorced Sibling\/ Friend<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For someone who has been divorced or not married yet, seeing someone close tying the knot can be tough. It\u2019s normal though and doesn\u2019t mean they aren\u2019t happy for you. It\u2019s more tied to the concern for their own life. Nonetheless, handling this at the right time can serve you and them well throughout the experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What To Do:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a gentle approach in such situations. Say something like, \u201cyou look tensed, is everything okay?\u201d or \u201cI\u2019m here if you need to talk about something.\u201d. If not at once, they will eventually open up. This will basically show their emotions are important to you. Afterward, let them be a part of the wedding experience as much as they want. Alternatively, delegate them a task they\u2019re happy about, so the positive sentiments eventually conquer the negative ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wedding Planning Disagreement #3<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You & Your SO Aren\u2019t Seeing Eye to Eye<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether the arguments are about finances, the other person being less invested in details you care about, like wedding dresses, cake frosting, etc., or appeasing both families – having fights with your betrothed will be common during wedding planning. Although it never feels good to fight with your partner, some experts suggest, when handled right, that this can bring you closer together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What To Do:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you start planning the wedding, discuss key matters of money, delegating duties, family dynamics, and what details matter more to whom. During arguments, listen to understand and practice empathy while communicating. Remember – at all times – you\u2019re in this together and wedding planning doesn\u2019t supersede the lifetime of togetherness and your strong relationship. Lastly, focus on the big picture and curate a celebration you both can utterly enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
