One of the hardest things for any couple planning their wedding is
setting the boundaries for the decisions their parents can (and can't!) make. They have your best interests at heart, but they've spent their entire lives planning your life and don't see much reason to stop now! Rather than tearing your hair out (or giving in to the temptation to elope after all) be proactive. Pretend you're dealing with small children-encourage them to participate, but give them small tasks that are going to be exclusively their domain and get on with what you have to do.
Moaning in agony at the thought of your mother or mother-in-law planning your
wedding? Is there something she does extremely well? For example, could she handle creating the invitations,
decorating the reception hall or organizing the
wedding buffet? You've got a lot on your plate, and handing over those little tasks can take off a lot of the stress off you and give your family the opportunity they need to participate in your wedding planning-which is all they really want in the first place.
