I laughed when I read this, but with you, not at you. Moms are the world's biggest pain in the ass when it comes to weddings. Maybe sisters-in-law could give them a run for their money. I think the problem is that each mother's own mother ruined her wedding by being a pain in the ass, so now they have to have the wedding they never had vicariously through you. Speaking from experience it's better to have the I-appreciate-your-opinion-but-mainly-please-shut-the-fuck-up-until-otherwise-informed talk early. You'll hurt their feelings somewhat now, but save them a lot more in the future.
