Trying to sort out a family arguement over my sister's wedding
Apparently my mum isn't happy that she's (well, my dad) is paying for a buffet that she doesn't like. (needs more savoury apparently). My to-be brother-in-law isn't happy that my mum invited some people to the wedding without him being asked (although apparently the list was shown to my sister), and finally it turns out my mum called my sister's dress "hideous" last week, when the wedding is in a month and my mum was at all the fittings. My mum is now saying she and my dad won't go.

My mum is a fucking plank.

oh that isn't good
hopefully your mum will come round and realise it's not HER day.. and your sister will have a perfect day

I hope so
With any event like this she'll always get stressed up and get really fucking petty and stupid about things, and then if it goes wrong she'll play "I told you so". If I ever get married I'll go abroad and not tell her till I get back.

Mothers always seem to be cows about weddings.
Generally men are happy at the chance to drink and dance silly like.

Tell you mum the day aitn got shit to do with her, use words like selfish and that.

A good old-fassioned family orgy is the best way to setting this dispute.

See if you can get your mum to talk about her wedding
chances are there were people trying to get her to do things a way she didn't want and it might strike a chord.

great idea
and if that doesn't work.. lock her in the cellar til it's all over

Well, it's pretty much a given that my gran tried to control her wedding
but I think my mum is taking that as the right to start to control my sister's, rather than break the chain.
