Talking about my wedding with her is driving me nuts!! It makes m not like her, and I don't want to feel that way!
She has not contributed ANYTHING and won't be. And thats fine. But it annoys me a little since they paid for his siters ENTIRE wedding, HM and all, and she can't even give her son a rd?
She complains about how her daaughters in-laws didn't help at all and it was terrible.
She comes over last night and made some suggestions about how I could cut wedding costs: 1.Tell the church I can't afford the $250 pastor fee. 2. do my own hair and MU. I can't do my own hair and u that well on a good day, i can't even imagine trying with my nerves all over the place! 3. Go to PA for my HM, that way I don't have to get a passport, and why do Ihave to be a big shot anyway and go somewhere that requires a plane (I am planning on spending less then $3500, and fh and I have not been on a VAca in over 4 years!!) 4. Don't buy my bm's gifts 5. Host my RD in my tiny apt. That no one will fit in. 6. Don't get favors 7. get a fake wedding band, or sell my e-ring and get a cz. 8. don't get prof pics taken, they are aparently no different from onesshe can take
There was more, but I can't think.....
She also told me I should tell my dad he HAS to pay for more (He is allready paying for most of the wedding)
So I said, 'What do you mean he has to, well if you want to go all traditional, you should pay for our HM, RD, and marriage licence!!'
she said, 'Forget aout that, your dad should pay for that'
I have just had it up to here, I feeel like crying!!!

Unfortunately, MANY brides are having FMIL or FIL issues - don't talk to her about the wedding if you can help you. You don't need people making foolish comments like any that you've posted.

Re: I am NOT talking about wedding plans w/ my FMIL anymore!!
This is exactly why some people believe in the rule of 'no pay, no say'. It's for situations like this.
I can't believe that she would suggest such crazy things.
Just leave her out of the loop as much as you can. When she asks how things are going, just say they are getting done. I realize people might say it's mean to do this, but it looks like you might have to just to keep your sanity!!
And if it were me, I would tell FH. He should be dealing with her, not you.

How about cutting out her guests? Why didn't she suggest that as a cost cutting alternative?

There isn't anything I can say, except her suggestions to keep down costs are totally insane, and so is she for suggesting them!!
Sorry you are going through this Eleanor!

Is there a full moon or something b/c the MIL's are in rare form the past few days.
They should have to go to etiquette classes or have to read The Idiot's Guide to Being a Mother in Law. Oh my!

OMG!! What a wacko!!!!
I'd be saying, 'um, your own son worked very hard to find this diamond ring and you're saying to SELL it?' Oh, and then if I were in a foul mood, I'd tell her all the naughty stuff I do with her son (I mean, if I were you).
She's weird and out of line. Tell her that your dad will pay for EVERYTHING after he gets a big fat check from her.

Wow I can't believe the thinks she is saying to you. You should really tell you FH to sit down and have a little talk with her, nothing crazy but just ask for her support. good luck
