Would you want your mom and family to ride with you in the limo to the airport o!
Question: My mom is paying for our wedding and honeymoon and she wants to ride in the limo (that she's paying for), along with some other people of my family, with me and my new husband while we go to the airport (45 minutes away) to go to our honeymoon. What would your thoughts be if your mom told you that's what she wanted to do? Cause my thinking is we just got married (which is a symbolization of growing up, leaving the nest, being without your parents) we would want to be alone. But she is paying for it and I don't want to be rude but I don't think going to our honeymoon is a "family event". But she thinks it would be fun. I know "do what you want to do" and all that but what would YOU do if your mom wanted to ride along?

Well, I personally would not want anyone but wife in the limo with me (except the driver). I understand where you are coming from, but you could rent a second limo and have them ride with you to the airport in the second one. That way they can get a ride and still see you both off.
I would just explain to her that you both are going to need some time to relax and would prefer to be alone. It's natural for anyone to be a little stressed on their wedding day, and that you were hoping to get a little time to yourselves before having to deal with the stress at the airport. And if worse comes to worse, you could always suggest that it's only fair that if so many people of your family ride along, that the same number of his family should ride with you as well and that there is not enough room in the limo for that to happen. But, be warned, that could backfire. But you're best bet would be for both you and your fiance to tell your parents that you'd prefer to be alone for that almost hour as a chance to relax and maybe take a nap.
I wish you luck.
hell no.
They just want a ride in the Limo... get over it.. if that's the case, then you pay for the wedding and the limo.. talking about leaving the nest... but still want her to pay..
My mom has never been in a Limo, so I would let her ride in it.. but that's just me.
I wouldn't like it... Privacy please!
But since she paid it all, I would do it.
No way!!! The honeymoon starts when the couple leave the party, nobody should interfere or be near them after leaving the party!!
Make her ride in the front and close the partition
Tell here exactly what you just said and i'm sure she will understand. If she still wants to ride int he limo than just let her.
No I wouldn't want them to.
You got your whole honeymoon to be alone. She is being generous in paying for the your wedding & honeymoon. Be considerate and let her do this. Trust me, it could be worse....
Good Luck & Congrats!
Sorry...No I would not. That is your time to reflect on what you just did....tie the knot. Not to mention you may want a quickie in the back of the limo with your new hubby. Paying for it or not, that should not be the reason to make your choice. Its YOUR day !!!!
Tell your mom that since you guys are going to be freshly married, you want to have SEX in the limo and you would rather they not be there to watch.
Hey, you are going to be a married adult.
It will embarrass the hell out of her but it will definitely get the point across.
I would tactfully tell her how I feel and what you just said about marriage being a part of growing up an dleaving the nest is a good way to put besides you have every right to want to be alone. Be nice about I think she will understand.
I agree with you completely, going for a honeymoon is not a family thing. Even if it's just riding to the airport, I think it's something that you and your new husband should do together with nobody else.
Maybe you can sit your mom down and explain all this to her, telling her that you don't want to hurt or offend her, but you feel as though it's a strictly husband/wife thing.
Good luck and I hope you have fun on your honeymoon.
Just let them ride and get over it. She just wants to support you in this big day.
Your mom should not expect that from you just because she is paying for everything. She should be paying because it makes her happy and not using it to get what she wants.
I wouldn't want them too. Just explain to her that while she is paying for the limo, you appreciate that, but you want that ride to be with just you and your husband. If she doesn't understand that then you need to pay for it yourself.
I would hope my Mum wouldn't put me into the position yours has put you in. I personally think it's wrong that she wants to come - you are going off to start your new life together and it will probably be the first opportunity you and your husband get to spend with just the two of you all the day of the wedding. If you think she wants to come because she's paying, how about you pay for the limo, or go without and go to the airport in a taxi. It's a lovely thought for her to organise it, but not if she wants to come. You need to talk to her before you get really upset and it causes arguments. Be honest and truthful but tactful with her. Good luck. Don't let it spoilt the run up to your wedding.
Your mom sounds selfish. This event is not about her it is about you and even though she has paid for whatever, it should be a symbol of her love for you and she should not encroach on your space at this time.
Tell her as gently as possible that you would prefer to spend that time with your new husband.
Best of luck on your wedding.
She's your mom, and she loves you a lot. I think that you just have to tell her how much you appreciate all she's done for you, yet we need our time alone. This is a very important time in my life, and it would be very nice if you could understand that. Thanks so much for paying for everything, yet could you please let me go there alone with my spouse.
I would tell her, "HELL, NO, you aren't coming!!" Honestly, I think that is unbelievably rude and selfish... and a little creepy. You only have this experience ONCE. You will never be able to get it back and do it different. If you let it happen, it will put a damper on something that is supposed to be one of the best days of your lives. If you let it happen, you may end up resenting it and might build up a grudge. I know I would! No one should be in that limmo other than you and your new husband
they paid for the limo let them ride in it they are not going on the honeymoon with you just seeing you off at the airport right?you and new hubby will have your entire honeymoon to yourself let mom ride with you to the airport after all she was nice enough to foot your wedding bill
Why don't you pay for the limo and then there won't be that problem. Or just tell her how you feel. Its your mom, she might get mad a little, but she will understand. If you are a daddy's girl, skip mom and go to dad. Then he will do the dirty work for you! GOod luck, I'm glad my parents aren't that crazy about my wedding, but then again i'm paying for some things!
i would say "ok mom, just make sure its a big limo because we need room to consimate our marriage, and we plan on doing that within 5 minutes of the time we leave our reception." then talk about the plane ride, and how much you are looking foward to your romantic honeymoon....
Well, my mom and I have an honesty policy, I can tell her anything. Including, "mom... look, I know you're paying for it and I'm grateful, but come on. It's my HONEYMOON."
Maybe specify that you would like the time alone. Tell her what you just told us, that while you realize she's paying for it, you really don't think the honeymoon is a family event and it makes you uncomfortable. What she's doing is trying to hold on to her baby just one more second. She's paying for it, but if it makes you uncomfortable, you need to say something.
just compromise with her about the whole limo thing. u don't want things to get ugly before the wedding!!
TELL HER THNX FOR PAYING but the ride is just for the bride and groom, HELLO< WHAT IF U WANT 2 START UR HONEYMOON IN THE LIMO, ur mother cant b there!!!!LOL
NO WAY... plus, because you are married, ie, joined with your husband, you become one, so your husband gets a say as well. If she wants to follow you to the airport, she can always go in a second car - plus, it IS traditional for the bride's family to pay for the nuptials. The thing is, she might have a problem letting go of her 'little girl' , but wanting to follow you in the limo, which would definitely impede any 'making out' is not cool!! I know I am being way ridiculous, but then so is she.
Ummm...... NO. This is where you need to take a small stand. I'm sure your family had fun at the wedding and reception... This is where the "family" portion of the event needs to end (for now). You should be gracious to your family and thank them for their support but stress that this is YOUR honeymoon and that you need to begin your life as a married couple. If your mother and family are only coming along for the ride because they think it will be fun..... maybe you should rent them a limo for a couple of hours when you get back. Have fun and congratulations on your new life
For Pete's sake. She is paying for all this and just wants to ride in the limo for a private family and friends time before you fly off to your honeymoon. What?? Do you plan on making your new husband with a limo driver in the drivers seat? Weddings are expensive and you are blessed to have a Mom that thinks so much of you. Life is a give and take thing. She's giving and you are taking. Why don't you just give a little back? She's not asking to go on your actual honey moon. Now that would be a whole different issue.
it's ok with me to have my family ride with me to the airport.
she's paying for my wedding, anyway.
so why not?
as long as they're not coming along for my honeymoon, i'll be smiling all the way *winks*
i will love them coming with me.my husband mother come alone to my trip i don't have any problem at all.i love it .you will have alot of time alone soon. dont worry about your mom i thing she just sad to let her baby girl go.
