Asking Eric: I’m the mother of the bride, and I’d like a room to myself on the wedding weekend

Dear Eric: My daughter is getting married in October. Immediate family members have rooms in the small inn at the venue.

For many reasons, both great and small, my husband and I no longer share a bedroom. On a busy wedding weekend, I especially need a good night’s sleep and the occasional quiet that comes with my own room.

My daughter wants me to give her friend my room. I said no. Am I being unreasonable? P.S. We’re paying for everything.

– Mother of the Bride

Dear Mother...
