**Please do not quote... I will be taking down...***
Drama has begun. To the point that I went to work today with my eyes swolen shut...
When I went home after work yesterday, vins mother came downstairs, plopped herself on my bed and began to explain that the rehearsal dinner is no big deal... and then started to procede to tell me that its rude to expect everyone to be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She then even went as far as to say "Who cares, its just a rehearsal, and you cant expect everyone to come and take off to walk down an aisle for a minute"
Now,

am I wrong to have gotten so upset? I understand she has done this more than a hand full of times, but this is my first wedding. This rehearsal is a big deal to me. And the rehearsal dinner should be too!
Then she proceeded to tell me we should just order those huge 6 foot heroes (Knowing all well that I can't eat white bread and those of you who have had them know that that is all that is on that!!!!!!!!!!) I cant have those sandwiches, and when i sai d "No, i really wouldnt like that" she said "Well everyone else would".
So, when I went to pick up vinnie I Was actually so mad that I ran around his block before telling him i was there. When he got back in the car I said "I dont think I can go through with this wedding if your mother is going to use my sensitivity to control it"
I was so afraid to tell him, but I did. I told him everything, every converstation down to "Well if doreen is tired the night of your rehearsal you cant expect her to come and if she doesnt come then sal wont and neither will the baby (The baby being our RING BEARER)
And he was quiet. And then he freaked out... not on me thank god. In the car just freaked out. He said she is always trying to control things and worries about everyone else except the person who she is causing the stress for.
Wel, we came home (Steff that japanese place was excellent by the way) and he then wouldnt even speak to her. Which of course, I am sure you have figured out, made her realize that he was mad at her...
And so... this morning, I get out of the shower only to find her sitting on the stairs waiting for me...
"WHy is vinnie mad at me"
" I don tknow?"
"What did you tell him?"
"What do you mean"
"I mean did you tell him what i spoke to you about"
"Yes, i brought everything up and he didnt want to hear it"
"great"
And then I walked away.
I dont know guys. She was never like this and this week its almost as if shes having a nerous break down. Does she not want me to marry him? I dont get why she doesnt see that the rehearsal is a big deal to me, and why she is even telling our reader that she doesnt have to come.
I did say to her yesterday (while standing in the middle of the street because she follwed me out to continue tot alk to me!) that this is my first time doing anything like this so i wanted to make it special...
I dont get it. I cant even begin to explain tat I am considering eloping and canceling the entire wedding.
Not sure what to do right now... because this morning after I left vinnie then decided to tell her off, and tell her that she needs to realize this is our wedding and that we want the bridal party there and if we want the b ridal party there, they should be there. It shouldn't be that we have to worry that she is telling them not to come.
And now, I am fearing the worst. That when I go home it is going to be tension and worry and i just, i cant do this again.
I dont know what on earth to even do. Its two months before the wedding and now I have to worry?
