First, I want to say that I LOVE that dress and the ceremony you've chosen is BEAUTIFUL!! I love some of the vows you take in there.. very very nice!

I can kind of understand your pain. Nathan and I want a fairly "unique" wedding.. it's going to be a great HUGE party and lots of fun. I've discussed some of it with my family, and they have all said "if that's what you want, go for it! It sounds fun!" But every detail we have shared with Nathan's mother, she has said "well that's stupid" We've basically said well if she doesn't like it, tough. It's our day and it will be exactly what we want, and we will NOT feel bad or guilty about it! I think it's partly mind over matter here.. we have just decided not to let her bug us.. I hope everything works out for you
