Arnaud has always had a fusional relationship with his mother. At first, it didn’t bother Alice, who even found it touching. “When you saw itself, Nathalie was always very pleasant with me”recalls Alice. But his gaze has changed since the day the couple announced their marriage to him. The expectations are not the same for the stepmother and the bride, who tells us about her feelings.

But obviously, Alice’s mother-in-law does not hear it from this ear and has greater ambitions for her only son. “”We only get married once in a life (well, I wish you!), So you might as well do that with people. Let me help you with the organization“, She hastened to answer. This sentence immediately calmed Alice’s joy.”Of course, I know that her proposal did not start from a bad feeling and that she just wishes to participate, but it bothers me. It’s our wedding, not hers!“, ALICE is annoyed who wishes to organize a ceremony as she sees fit.

So, how can I succeed in winning against Belle-Maman? For his part, Arnaud told his mother that he did not see the point of inviting people he never sees. At the time, Nathalie no longer said anything. Alice tells herself that her mother-in-law understood the message.
“However, a few days later, she began to send us emails with decorative ideas, places all more immense than the other, she insists that we do a religious ceremony when we want Make a secular ceremony … She even wants to be present for the fittings of my wedding dress, the choice of the caterer, the preparation of the announcements, etc. too much !“, Until Alice deplores.
The young woman is so stressed that she comes to understand her own marriage, scheduled for June of next year. Fortunately, her future husband makes every effort to reassure her. Admittedly, her mother is a little invasive, but it is not she who will dictate the course of their marriage.
