My father-in-law was a cause for stress right away...for my wife anyway. When I said I wanted to marry his daughter, he just said, "That's fine but I'm not coming." Sure enough my wife felt some stress but I didn't care and it wasn't gonna make me feel different. I wanna make this a day my wife will never forget and too, since she is the person I plan on keeping forever, I want her to be happy as much as possible. In other words, don't let anything but the two of you become a major issue. That will definitely help with the stress.

BTW, seven weeks from now is our 44th anniversary so I must have done something right. 😉

You're doing fine! I always looked at MY problems as an injury and I did my best to cure it ASAP. If it was SOMEONE ELSE'S problem, I treated it like an itch. Just keep scratching away at it until it goes away. 😉

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I am so glad it all worked out for both of you :) Thank you for the advice it really helps. I am starting to see the side of my mum I did not want to see in regards to being controlling of the wedding when it is mine and my soon-to-be husband's day.

Your ring is beautiful.
This is your day and not your mother.
If you feel that much anxiety that you are having seizures its time then to have your to do be husband take a stand for you period.
When married you both will be responsible to each other.
If your mom is getting in your way now it will not stop.
Family + in laws are a pain in the ass.
I am 63yrs old and have been married to a beautiful and caring woman for the past 34yrs who has always been at my side through some of my darkest hours. Including my pain in the ass mother-in-law.
She for some reason thought she was the mother of our children.
I wish you happiness on your truly adventure of your life.
Have a blessed day.

Your ring is beautiful Emily 💜
