I'm a little pissed! Vent & advice-UPDATE

Some of you may remember me b*tching about my FBIL getting engaged to a girl I don't like (everyone else shares my views of her), and only a few months after FH and I got engaged! Now I come to find out the her engagement ring looks A LOT like mine. I've even had guys comment on it, and you know they don't even care about stuff like that!
Considering I don't like her to begin with, how the heck am I supposed to react when I see the ring?! My mom suggested that I be cute and say, 'Oh your ring is so pretty. Wow, it's so similar to mine.' What do you girls think?

ETA: Now I feel bad for my FH. His brother was over last night and I asked him if he and his FW had talked about when they may want to get married, and he said, without looking either FH or I in the eye, well she wants to get married in the next 3 months. My FH was in shock. I had told him that they would try to get married before us and he said that even though she may try it, her brother would never allow it. Now he's upset because he expected his brother, twin brother none-the-less, to show him more respect than that. I really feel bad for him.

They don't know too much about our wedding and what they do know, they don't have specifics for. I agree that it's almost a blessing that at least they won't be able to 'copy' anything about our wedding.
Right now my FH feels a little stabbed in the back and I hate that he's hurt. He such a good guy and thinks so much of his twin that I hate to see him let down like this. He really thought his brother would wait until after we got married. I just don't even see what their rush is. Right now we're enjoying being engaged and having this time to plan our wedding to be exactly what we want. I just don't get it. Do you think maybe she has a bun in the oven? A lot of this would make more sense if she did.

i don't even know what to say to this insanity. You and your FH won't have to say anything--these actions speak volumes to your family...this is the saddest...maybe she does have a 'bun' then you could feel some empathy for them...otherwise, i think you're going to have to focus on your wedding, cause thinking about theirs is very upsetting ...
