Admittedly, I relate to your mom as I wasn't that jazzed about my own wedding either. I hate being the center of attention when it involves something I feel was no effort and I was extremely uncomfortable with all of that. But I do get excited about other people's weddings because I see it makes them happy. Odd, huh? If we divorce, I am unlikely to ever be married again.

But, yes, she should be happy for you. She'll get it eventually.

As for your dad . . .I'm glad you will focus on making you happy instead of him. Some parents are just not all-approving; I know, that is Mom for me.
