What's your relationship with your parents worth to you?
This episode was inspired by a real-future mother of the bride and Unbridely Podcast listener, who reached out to me about her own daughter’s wedding.
The Mum left me a voice message because she was wondering how to broach the topic of offering money to help pay for her daughter’s wedding and how to make sure that it came across to the soon-to-be-weds as helpful, thoughtful, intentional and not controlling, or just throwing cash at them.
She wants her contribution to be valued and meaningful to both her and her daughter.
So today, I share a few insights on how I think it’s best to work through this potential minefield of emotions, power, money and expectations.
How do you accept help from your parents without feeling like you're losing control of your own wedding?
How do you keep your relationship with them intact while still staying true to what you and your fiancé want?
Your going to learn some real, practical strategies for setting boundaries, having those awkward conversations, and making sure your wedding stays YOUR wedding.
Plus I want to share with you how my parents contributed to our wedding and how it made our wedding day and general relationship with them even stronger.
