Wow, it never ceases to amaze me what a biotch she can be. Mt FH is a twin and he's engaged to this girl. They just picked their place and set the date (Snuff Mill, next June) and she was telling us about it. She tells us that they're having a small wedding because they're just 'not into the wedding thing' like we are. She was putting down that we care about our wedding and want to celebrate it with all of our family and friends. She then proceeds to imply that we're having 'cheap' food at our wedding because we're having 200 guests and they're having 100 and spending more per person (and by the way, they're not spending much more than we are). Yes, her caterer is Abigail Kirsch and the food will be great, but we're going to have wonderful food too. My FH asked her if they were going to have band or a DJ and she says they're having a band and rips DJ's apart. She says that they're going to have to spend $10,000 on a band because that's the only way you can get a good one. She's 'not going to have a cheap $5000 band' for her wedding. FH points out that our bands are $5500 and they're great. She says that she's never heard of a good band that comes so cheap. Then she says, I hate talking to you guys about this stuff because you get offended. FH and I were like, well what do you expect when your offensive?! My blood was boiling! I hate that she gets to me, but she does. She intentionally pushes my buttons. I try not to let it show, but sometimes I feel like there should be smoke coming out of my ears. The only good part of the day was when she said that they want to move to Florida in a couple of years. Goodbye and good riddance!

Re: FSIL from he!!- sorry so long
What an immature and insecure person she must be. I was married at the same place. I had 73 ppl. and a DJ (yes, I went low class ) and I can't imagine 100ppl. with a band in that space. Good luck to the jealous witch!!!
Don't worry your wedding is going to be great!!! It is not the money that you spend that counts. It is the time and attention to detail and the love that you have for each other that will make your wedding AMAZING!!!!!

Re: FSIL from he!!- sorry so long
What a nasty whore!!! Grrrrr..... I'm angry FOR you! No, seriously, can I beat her up?
Well, first of all, OBVIOUSLY she is seething with jealousy and insecurity and like you said, feeling like she's got something to prove. Not into the 'wedding thing' -- please. I know, you shouldn't really say anything, you should be the bigger person and let her rude comments roll off of you BUT what if you just called her out on her childish behavior?
What if you just calmly, rationally, even NICELY, said to her... 'Now, why do you feel you need to tell me that you think a $5000 band is cheap? Do you think that I can't see right through your thinly veiled insults?' And then hit her with the big one... 'What are you jealous of?'
Sorry. I couldn't resist.
It's really funny the way things go because I've had people make those kinds of comments in REVERSE to me... they imply that I'm crazy or stupid or something for spending SO MUCH on my wedding. And it really did make me feel bad. So if you want to be as evil as her, you could also try that method.
But, I don't think YOU are like that. I think you are far better than that and your wedding is going to turn out so much better and nicer than hers because you are NOT that type of person. I'm sorry you have an evil SIL.

You got it right when you said she's an unhappy person and that no matter where she goes or what she does, she'll never be happy unless she finds happiness within herself. Keep remembering that all of her comments have NOTHING to do with you in reality - they're all about her insecurities. I feel badly for FBIL. Your wedding will be beautiful and you will have a wonderful life with your FH, but I do not see true happiness down the road for the two of them. n

LOL! The evil part of me whants to tear her apart, but then I think of my FH and do my best not to make trouble for him and his brother. It's really tough for me because I am a 'take no sh!t' kind of person. It's funny that you mention that people bug you the opposite way that you're spending too much money because aside from this girl, that's everyone's reaction to our wedding.

sorry to hear that she's being such a pain - your wedding will be lovely and full of joy and happiness - she must not be very healthy - carrying around all that negativity can't be good for anyone.
my FSIL drives me crazy as well - i love my FH but there's nothing that says i have to love his family!
