Maura, your in a tough spot with his mom. Fi has been really good, the one time his family members tried to interject with my plans, he put them in their place and let them know "It's Danielle's Wedding". I was so proud of him, of course he took it a bit too far... It's your wedding and you can't help but have certain ideas of how you want things to be. It sucks when other people tell you they don't like your ideas. What do they know anyway! ITS YOUR WEDDING!!!
As for the Doug favor situation, that's great that he wants to help out. I know when derek wants to help out I cringe a little but his help has actually been really good! Shockingly so. hopefully Doug's help will be great too! For favors, i'm giving out photo albums so people can put their vacation photos in them. I think that for the first page, i'm going to put a photo of the two of us and a note thanking the guests for coming. I don't have as many people as you going so i'm doing an album for each guest. But when we were expecting more guests, i was going to do an album per couple.
I never realized that you were kind of screwing music artists out of money when you got songs of itunes. I thought as long as you were paying that .99 per 10 songs they were getting a cut from that. Oh well, no offense to Doug, but i'm still going to burn CDs for my OOT bags. sorry doug!
