My fiancé and I are getting married. He comes from a conservative family and his mom has been up in the wedding planning posing as “supervisor” to oversee and to “catch & eliminate” anything that could be seen as “offensive”.
After the wedding dress fiasco(I was told to get a dress that wasn’t showing too much ‘skin’…came the makeup issue. I showed my fiancé some looks I wanted to choose from and he gasped and said his mom would have a stroke if she saw “these”. I in frustration asked what I should do… and next thing I knew but did not expect was for her to send me “looks” of models with almost no makeup or light makeup. No eyeshadow, no glowly lipstick just…plain look. I refused to choose from any of her suggestions and we had an argument.
My fiancé came home and argued about how I’m planning on humiliating him and family at the wedding by wanting to look like a…”clown” and make a joke out of BOTH of us. I snapped and called him delusional to think I’ll let his mom get a say in what makeup I should wear since it’s my face. He said there’s no such thing as “mine” and “yours” in marriage and that I’m clearly too “immature” for it.
He has been avoiding me while saying “you know why I’m avoiding you…” and his mom sent a text about how she has my best interest at heart.
Am I Wrong ? What Should I Do ?
