Mom Wants A Whole Year To Celebrate Her Birthday, Tells Daughter Her Wedding Can Wait
Postponing a wedding is quite common nowadays. Planning takes a long time, and sometimes the unexpected happens, so, rather than have an imperfect wedding, many couples choose to reschedule. In fact, about 20% of couples call off their weddings, but usually the reasons are inside the relationship itself: infidelity, irreconcilable differences, or changed priorities.
Seldom does a couple postpone or call off their wedding because their in-laws request it. Yet, that’s exactly what this mother asked of her daughter. She requested that she not get married the year she turns 50, as that would take the spotlight off her. Unsure of whether this was a reasonable request, the bride decided to seek advice online.

“Her birthday is in February and the wedding is planned for August, so many months apart,” the bride clarified in the comments
Commenters speculated why this was so important to the mother: “Your mom must be the star of the show, huh?”

Oh come on. Have the wedding whenever you want to. F.uck the mom and her "birthday year". 🙄 I turned 50 last year and didn't even celebrate for an entire day! I wouldn't want her involved in the wedding planning anyway - she's a selfish idiot.

A YEAR-long birthday celebration? We don't even have extended birthday celebrations for children (who ostensibly have the biggest hype around their birthdays) unless those children have terminal illnesses. I checked OP's profile for any updates, and there aren't any, except in a post from 2 months ago she uses the term "fiancé" and says they plan to get married "within the month". I hope OP was able to get married and I hope her great-grandfather was still around for the ceremony. OP's mom turning 50 and being cheated on (which absolutely súcks, don't get me wrong) doesn't mean she gets to demand that everyone pause their lives and events just so she can celebrate her 50th birthday for an entire year.
