Am I the only one ...

Am I the only one ...

who has an amazing relationship with there future mother in law? Given we have our differences and all but she treats me so well and we have a great relationship.

Last night she told me that she keeps saying on accident that shes 'Mother of the Bride' lol but then says, 'Well, actually Mother of the Groom but really Mother of Both.'

I was just wondering - are there any other brides out there who adore there future mother in laws?

Plus, I cant forget my future father in law - hes the best. Im really marrying into an amazing family (not perfect) but we all get along great.

Oh and it cant be an act - I've known them for 11+ years and have been with my FI for over 6.

Yes! I love all my FILs, including my FBIL. He treats me like the sister he never had. It's really great. I have a better relationship with them than my own parents.

nope, can't say enough great things about my fils.

I wish we saw them more often, but they spend a good part of the year at their other home in Central America.

Yes, I do have a wonderful relationship with my MIL she is like a second mom to me. As a matter of fact all my in-laws are wonderful.

Yes, lovely. But FYI, there will come a point where the wonderful woman will annoy the crap out of you. It happens...and I LOVE mine. She considers me her daughter since I started dating DH about 10 years ago and she had 5 boys, so I was her 'girl'. They still annoy you though...

I DO have a wonderful relationship with my FMIL... she says that I'm such a blessing to her and her son, and that she couldn't have hand picked a better wife for her son. She also was my confidante during not-so-great times in our relationship... and if it weren't for her, I don't think things would be as WONDERFUL as they are now.

My sisters-in-law are wonderful, too! I'm a lucky girl... you really DO marry the whole family! lol. We all have a lot in common and get along very well. BONUS to finding the PERFECT MAN!

Me? Annoying? NEVER!

Yes, you're right!! Right after the wedding I was like 'dude your mom is freakin insane'...but I love her again...I was lost and now I'm found.

I get along great with them. When FH didn't propose after a while they said they were going to do it if he didn't . Sometimes they drive me a bit when they offer their opinion for things about the wedding. Theirs was cake and coffee in 1962 and everything else is a waste.

My FMIL is awesome - she loves me and i think she is great. My FH is an only child and i think she likes having a daughter. My parents love my FILs too- they are very much alike- I guess thats one reason my FH and I get along so well- we have similar parents and upbringings.

Re: Am I the only one ...

I am part of the lucky crowd.
My ILs told me they don't like to call me their daughter in law...I am their daughter.
I am extremely fortunate to inherit them.
Blessings in life.

I LOVE my FIL's - all of them!!! I feel so lucky to be marrying the best man and getting another wonderful family in the process! They treat me so good (from the parents and siblings to the grandmother, aunt's, uncle's and cousin's). They have such a wonderful family. And the FH gets along great with my family as well. We are both very lucky!
