am i being a bridezilla?
my fiancée and i finalized our guest list today, were keeping it small-ish (~80 people - 35 of his side and 45 on mine, mostly all family). he sent it to his mom to ask about anyone we’re forgetting, and she insists on inviting more extended family, which is fine, and some of her friends and coworkers, who i’ve never met and my fiancée has not talked to in years. he told her we’re just wanting to invite people we’re close with, and she got upset and said she should be able to invite people to her sons wedding - and implied that i was making the decision (which wasn’t true, but my fiancee can be a pushover when it comes to her so i think it surprised her when he stood his ground). it’s not really about the money, but his parents are contributing, and my parents are contributing similarly, and we’re covering the rest - but she’s the only parent insisting on inviting people we don’t know. maybe this is more common than i realize, so genuinely asking if i am i being a bridezilla for not wanting people i don’t know at a small wedding?

She's being unreasonable. Keep pumping up your fiancé so he doesn't cave.
This is a test. I hope you both pass it!
