Happy vs. Hostile Environment: How To Deal With Having Your Divorced Parents At Your Wedding
The solution
Get a wedding planner. A wedding planner is similar to a mediator: She will talk to you and your mother about flowers/catering/entertainment and then speak to your dad about where that fits in the budget. If you let your mom and dad get on the phone and talk these things out, it could end in a yelling match. Consider a wedding planner an investment in your sanity.
