Niece's Wedding

United States
September 23, 2010 5:06pm CST
Okay, I've made other discussions talking about being part of my niece's wedding and dealing with a few of her bridezilla tendencies. Well it turns out that she is not the only "zilla." Her grandmother is controlling and manipulative and condescending. Currently, whenever the talk about the wedding it ends up in a very loud argument that includes slamming doors or hanging up on each other. I'm just very thankful that I'm not in the line of fire. I'm luckily a few states away. However, the problem right now is the invitation list. The wedding is a month away and there has not been a single invitation sent out yet. Part of the reason this is the case is because her grandmother is angry that she cannot invite all the people she wants to invite to the wedding, even though these people barely know the bride. All I can think is that this wedding could be interesting and as we get closer to the date, who knows what else is going to come up.

Wow, you're right. That does sound like a grand-mother-zilla. I have heard of the "mothers" taking over the wedding, but never a grandmother before. I feel bad for your niece. Hopefully the grandmother will come to realize that it's your niece's special day, and not hers, and let your niece have her own way. Family is no fun to fight with. Hopefully the groom-to-be is understanding, and willing to put up with the struggle!
