At our parents’ weddings, you would not 
have seen a bride make a speech. It was 
pretty uncommon for this to happen and the 
responsibility tended to fall onto the groom’s 
shoulders to get up and thank everyone for 
coming. Now, we’re seeing more brides make 
speeches at their weddings as well as their 
bridesmaids. It’s pretty common to also have 
random people who want to make a speech get 
up and make one.

 Weddings are the stuff that dreams 
are made of and every bride wants 
to look good for her big day. Many 
brides want to slim down and 
shape up, and dieting is always 
tough but probably never as tough 
as having the added pressure of 
planning the most important day 
of her life at the same time.

may be just the thing to keep you from speeding 
away in the car as soon as she knocks on your 
front door (if she does that kind of thing). 
If your future mom-in-law is stepping over your 
boundaries, chances are she might not listen to 
your cries for her to stop, but she might listen 
if her child explains that there are now certain 
boundaries. Not only in terms of planning the 
wedding but with living together in the future, 
in your own space.
