My FMIL actually asked me when FH and I got engaged why we didnt just have the wedding at the Knights of Columbus like his sister did. I looked at her like she was a crazy person. Thats not what FH and I want thats why we wont have it there lady!! Like really?!?!?!? Its not like shes even contributing!!! Keep your mouth shut if your not gonna break out the checkbook. Every time we talk about anything wedding its 'jenny did this.. jenny did that..' I DONT CARE ABOUT WHAT JENNY DID!!!!! And to think that we dont even have a definate date yet and this is what I'm going through I cant even imagine what you ladies are going through!!!

---

THIS IS ALL I HEAR!!! Kat did this, and Kat did that. Well Kat got married in Pittsburgh where not only is it ridiculously cheap to get married but she got a 'student discount' off of her hall and her church. I am not a student and nor do we live in Pittsburgh. We live in a place where it cost an arm and a leg to get married and we are gonna pay it!!! So shut your pie-hole!!!!

---

Seriously every time she brings this stuff up I wanna scream! Plus his sister got married in 2001. On what planet does she think that even if we did do a hall like that, that it would even be close to the same money that she paid??? It was 11 years ago!!! UGGHHHHH she drives me NUTS

LOL I have this same issue!!! FMIL wanted to invite an extra 10 people because she thought we were paying to just rent the place.. Nope lady.. we are not getting married at VFM and your 10 people will cost us close to $1,000.. are they worth it to you? If they are.. pay up!!! Same issue with BIL.. wants to bring shawtttty of the week.. I told him if you're not willing to spend $100 on her.. what makes you think we will? NO GUEST FOR YOU!

FH brother is the same way. Hes with this girl whos like 10+ years younger then him and expects her to come to our wedding when it does happen. I told him there is not a snowballs chance in H3LL that she would be invited. Theres a LONG story behind it but all this girl has done is lie and disrespect our ENTIRE family and he thinks that I would want her at our WEDDING?!?!? Sorry pal not happening. Even if he/she offered to pay for her I still wouldnt want her there. Shes a real Cee You Next Tuesday!!! Why cant we all just do what WE want and not what everone else wants us to do?!?!? Its our weddings goddamnit!!!!

So glad I'm not the only one. My future SILs became bigger wenches post-engagement. They managed to suck the fun out of bridesmaids dress shopping and lied to my fiance about me excluding them and making them feel unwanted at the appointment. Meanwhile, the saleslady commended me for being such a hands-off and easy going bride!!! As for the MIL, she's absolutely special. You know the type that manages to screw you over and keep a straight face the entire time? Yea, that's her. Where do I begin? For my engagement party which took place 7 months after the engagement, she refused to help me get addresses for her family members and I had to resort to contacting her family on social networking sites. At the party, she was 'surprised' to see her family there, and then expressed annoyance at the fact that most of the people in attendance were my family and friends. She made a point to count! You'd think she'd make a mental note to be more cooperative for the wedding invitations?!? HECK NO!! She made sure to give us a count of people AFTER I've already ordered my invitations and finalized my guest list. But wait, here's the kicker: She went and got a dress the same color as my bridesmaids even after I explicitly asked her not to get the same color. ANNOYING. ANNOYING. ANNOYING. I could tell you guys stories for days, but you'd think I'm making things up.

OMG are u serious!! that sounds like a lot of stress, but breath you will be alright and not have to deal with her as much once all of this is over. At least its ur FMIL and not your own mother, (my mom claimed i was giving her chest pains because she hated the hall, and i had to swtich after putting a deposite down already for westbury manor) I can imagine wht ur going through.

---

I read your post. I'm so sorry about your parents. I'm not Greek but I have family members that are married/in relationships with Greeks and I know how that plays out when you're of a different religion/culture. To me, its all the same. Your parents should be happy that you found someone that loves you and treats you well. A man with money can buy you a nice house, furs, and luxury cars but that doesn't make you feel safe, smart, pretty, etc. as much as a man that shows you and makes you feel love. Try to keep in mind that your parents are coming from a place of love and try not to absorb the negativity you get from anyone. I'm getting married at Westbury. I found it to be a romantic location. My advice to you is to do what feels right.

I am so sorry u are going through this. U only have 2 more months left. Ur sooooo close!!! I don't understand what makes everyone go so insane from weddings.

---

Thank you :) I have 5 months left. I'm dreading the upcoming bridal shower because of my FH's mom; she'll be sure to make up some story about feeling 'left out.' It's always a 'look at me' moment with them. I'm taking things one day at a time.

oh man, i love my fmil but my ffil....::smh:: he can be so obnoxious! he's got a lot of opinions abut EVERYTHING and refuses to admit that all of our plans are our mutual ideas - somehow i must've bullied FH into all these dumb ideas, blah blah blah. UGH. Do in laws ever get better?

---

LMAO...I can relate to that though! My FMIL thinks I bully my FH to do things because I tell him when I'm not happy about something. Before we lived together, I got really sick from all the dust in his room and then got bronchitis from his sleeping with the open window. I called him and told him I'd be going home and he just so happened to be with his mom. He was upset and from that, she gathered that I bully her baby. To top it off, my future SILs claim that I keep them from their brother >__<

One of them even went as far as to tell me that I need to be more 'repsectful' and what she actually meant was that I should kiss her a$$.

I calmly explained I wasn't marrying her or their family. I was marrying the brother and not shedding my own clan. I also told her we'd start our own family; those who wanted IN on the fun would act accordingly.

She had no comment.

They can't accept people being happier than they are.
Ridiculous.

OMG the kicker is that he doesn't even have a girlfriend! He LITERALLLY wants to bring whoever he is banging that week!

Re: Future Mother In Law Rant

My FMIL is ok with some plans, my rant is that I want to bring her to some shows because she tells me she wants to be involved with the planning but then complains that they're all late and go past her bed time (8pm)! ::rolls eyes::
