Hello
I've read already but not had time to reply, so I am number 68 now
When I first set a wedding date not many people were interested really (this was Oct03) It seems so long away to everyone, my parents included, they only really started to take an interest in the planning and the details about August of last year, with one year to go.
With regards to your H2B and his mum, it will all happen surely in time? It sounds like she likes you a lot and you are included in the family gatherings and all get on. Some things just need to be taken slowly slowly. Was your H2B hurt in his pervious relationship? Maybe they are being overprotective of him.
Give it time, and all will be well I am sure love
And as for details, that's what we are here for!
