So my power is fading....

The fights have begun. My mom doesn't want to listen to me. She is already planning everything for me and without me. I am so incredibly upset right now! I've told her already that this is my wedding and that I want to choose things that best fit me.

She told me this afternoon that she had been looking at things online. So I sat and looked through the dresses she saw and they were all very pretty. But when I told her that we should have Val (Ben's girlfriend) look at it and see if it's possible to replicate it, she flew off the handle.

"I don't want someone to make it!" she said.
"I would like to explore all the possibilities." I replied.
"Well I don't want you making the dress!" She shouted.
"Well does it matter what I want?!" I retorted.
She didn't reply.
"I'd be wearing the dress." I concluded.

At that point, I was ready to cry. She hurt me because I was beginning to see that this was going to be very difficult. For 3 years I'll be butting heads with her. *sigh* I'm so depressed....
