OK so last night I was talking about my FG's to my mom and she comes up with this PEARL 'I think the little girls should wear bloomers under their dresses. ' She isnt referring to the tights with ruffles on the butt, she is actually referring to all out covering BLOOMERS like this:

I told her under NO circumstances will their mothers allow it. So one of the mothers(also a BM) says that she wouldnt allow her daughter to wear bloomers, but SHE will wear them!

I have a bunch, here are the highlights:

1) 'Don't wear your hair too close to your head, you know how your forehead is.' (MOB)

2) Don't get married in pennsylvania, no one will come. (also.... We think this is a big mistake (pennsylvania, not the wedding)) (MOB and FOB)

3) 'Don't get a strapless dress, you don't want to swim in it.' (MOB)

4) Me: 'Hey mom, why don't you call my FMIL and ask about the rehersal dinner and her plans'
MOB: 'No, I don't want her to ask me to pay for it'

5) 'Maybe we can get OUR wedding picture and display it too' (MOB)

6) 'I never expected my parents to take out a loan and pay for our wedding.' (FOB)

oh jeeze where should I start..

FMIL..

Said my parents are only giving me a small wedding cause they are embarrassed I am fat??? W T F?? took me awhile to forget that comment..

Said that I shouldn't wear a white wedding dress since we all know she's not a virgin

Called my parents cheap, because they didn't want to spend $150 per person at a hall too freaking far away anyways.. like the $8500 they are spending at the Swan Club is nothing?? umm hello???

but the best one of all, the one that will NEVER EVER BE truely forgiven..

after my weight loss surgery, she told her son, oh once she loses weight she will leave you?? umm lady how can you say that to your son?? it's the one and only time I've ever wanted to b!tch slap this woman rugh!!

There are more pearls of wisdom, but it's just more of the same..

My God I can't believe all of these!!! My mother has been known to say some funny sh!t, but nothing along the lines of this!!!

My mother has been more critical of other family member's weddings than mine, although I'm sure she will have bones to pick when mine is said and done!!!

My best ones come from the rest of the family:

My grandmother after seeing me for the first time in about 7 years: 'Wow you got fat!' Gee, thanks grandma, I missed you too!!

My aunt last week at my SIL's baby shower: 'You were so skinny, what happened'
Gee, thanks for reminding me, as if the wedding isn't enough of a reminder!!

Same aunt telling my FH he gained weight, that I must be feeding him rice and beans. (Actually, he HATES rice and beans, but thanks for noticing and pointing it out!)

Augh!!!!

WOW!! We all have a bunch of winners in our families!.

My FMIL & FIL INSISTED that I open up all of my gifts from my engagement party in front of them... (Its a respect thing in there minds )

They had the nerve to comment on everything my family gave & told me that if they were this 'cheap' at the engagement party, I could only imagine how cheap they will be for the wedding'

My FMIL also said to write 'BLACK TIE AFFAIR' on my invites so it will scare the cheap people in my family away.. they will never afford to rent a tux or an evening gown.

Could you imagine??

Mt FMIL says horrid things all the time-never about the wedding because she never mentions that but about me

My dad however ( who I am not close with at all) called me after my e party ( where a GM got real drunk and grabbed a BM's arse) and said I can't wait to see what type of Jerry Springer event your wedding will be-needless to say I was devastated that he would even say such a thing-

Ohhh - I have some good ones:

FMIL: Are you SURE you're not Italian? I could have sworn you told me you were.

Umm, listen lady, I'm PUERTO RICAN, get over it.

FMIL: You're inviting HOW many people? Well, Al is only inviting 50 family members, and 50 isn't half of 180.

Hmm, you think your son can invite some of his FRIENDS??

I brought over cookies and cake once for dessert.

FMIL: What are you trying to do kill me?? I'm diabetic. I don't want any grandkids anyway.

Ok - so don't eat it. Anway, next time I bring over sugar free treats.

ME: So, did you like the cookies (after she ate 5)

FMIL: NO, they weren't very good.

These are great! More, more!

My mother said to my future inlaws:

'All men cheat. One day Mike will cheat on Kim too, but if they wanna get married anyway, thats awesome'

Needless to say, my mom is a member of the manhater club b/c of her divorce but his parents were furious that she would say something like this about their baby boy.

I'm mortified

Oh I LOVE this thread.

My FMIL is 50 going on 21.

She goes clubbing every weekend.
She tells my FH's friends that she wants to go to female strip clubs with them.

I must quote this one....

My friend met a guy in Cancun. (Both are from NY) She happened to be in a horrible job at the time, so being that he was a manager in a finance company, he asked for her resume and eventually hired her when they got back to NY. To make a long story short.. they ended up hooking up and now they are engaged. When my friend told my FMIL the story of how they met my FMIL had the nerve to say....

'Oh I see how it works these days.. You meet on the beach, you screw and then he hires you'

My face looked like this ------->

LOLLLLLL Jealousy must of been running straight through her blood at that time

'If you believe Matt didn't F*** her, your a fool! He's a man and thats what they do!!'
