My grandmother is very insistent about what I should wear at my wedding. She’s getting me a bit annoyed by saying, ‘You should wear this, what about that?’ Is it so hard to be understanding about this? While I want everything to be perfect with my family, these kinds of arguments are really bringing me down.
this kind of stuff has happened a lot. my aunt did something similar at my cousin’s wedding. she insisted on wearing the dress she wanted. in the end, my cousin wore what she wanted, but they didn’t speak for a week. such silly things ![]()
Do you live in the same house as your grandmother, or is it just a situation where you got stuck for the wedding? It depends on that.
@kahvebitmeden no, we don’t live in the same house, but we live very close to each other. We see each other every week, she keeps bugging me all the time.
My grandmother is also right in her own way. After all, if she says those traditions, does she have the right to completely disregard what you want? Why not try to compromise?
@tersladugum but this compromise thing isn’t easy. I mean, everyone’s wedding is a special day for themselves, is it really right to bow to the elders’ impositions?
grandmothers are like that, resist ![]()
Respecting traditions is one thing, having an individual style is another. You can perhaps blend the two in your wedding outfit. Adding a detail he suggested (like a color or accessory) can be helpful.
