Enlisting the Aunts

My mother is currently on the phone with my Aunt in Los Angeles planning my wedding. Things they are discussing:
-The importance of having a family of colors, not just purple. (I didn't know purple was finalized as a color, I hope it's not Mexican purple)
-whether or not my/bridesmaid dresses will be bought or sewed
-who will be responsible for making/planning what
-how I look like Drew Barrymore so I should make sure I'm pretty like she was at her wedding.

They also started to discuss my cousin's (of said aunt) wedding. Oh Dear God... what has begun.

I think this is an attempt to justify the box of things my mother has been buying over the past 5 years for her future grandchildren. I fear for my future children almost more than I am starting to fear my non-existent as of now future wedding.

And to think this is only 1 of my SIX aunts.

-Still happily dating and not yet engaged (and totally okay with this)

MILs

I went to my boyfriend's company's Christmas party last night and his parents were there. I adore Raymond's parents. They are so kind and wonderful. His mom looks at me like I'm Christmas morning.
Last night as she was complimenting my hair or outfit she called me her "hopefully future daughter in law"
I am scared of what her and my mother might plan and plot together...

-Still not engaged, but very happily dating
