Why do parents get upset at the choices of their grown adult children when they are planning a wedding?
To the point where they come across as more immature than the children and say "our son/daughter doesn't love us or else they would choose what we want instead!" etc. They already got married and in most cases, the mother planned the whole thing because that's how things were done back then, but that isn't true anymore. If someone is already married, then they don't get a say unless they are paying. If the couple doesn't like that, then they need to figure out a way to finance the wedding themselves, in which case, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks since it is their day, not someone else's.
TC, my parents aren't in the picture, and thankfully the ILs have been great about letting us make our own decisions. I'm simply curious from the countless posts you see here at Y!A where the couple is going "our parents are taking over but we're paying" meanwhile parents are saying "our children are making a huge mistake because this is not what we would have chosen for them". Leads you to wonder whose wedding it really is.
