Is it me or have you too received some pretty awful or tacky wedding suggestions/advice from the in-laws? I swear I think the FMIL makes up nonsense to test my patience.

Re: Suggestions from in-laws??
You're funny MG. My FMIL is actually very helpful and keeps me in line a to what is acceptable in NY or not. The only thing that bugs is if she doesn't like a color or who's coming..yadda yadda..
Grin and bear it MG......we all know about your FMIL

Re: Suggestions from in-laws??
My Fils have been great, they are alot more involved and supportive than my own family members. I guess that it is because I am one of the last ones in my family to be married and he is the first. So his family is more excited and mine is kinda of been there done that sort of thing.

Re: Suggestions from in-laws??
oh no I absolutely love my in laws. They completely respect all our desicions.
Its my family who tends to come up with ridiculous suggestions and they all start out with the phrase 'You have to have...'

My FMIL does not like the idea that I am with her son.(Or any woman with any of her sons) So she says nothing about the wedding. I wish she would say somthing then I know she cares.

I am very thankful and fortunate to have good in-laws ... my FMIL tries to get involved whenever she can, but doesn't interfere...

Thankfully I get along great with my future in laws...and they might give their opinion but they don't impose them at all and they def dont make 'stupid' suggestions.

Re: Suggestions from in-laws??
OMG lol they act like they are the authority on EVERYTHING-- and anything they want, i HAVE to do or else it's NOT RIGHT. that's the thing that bothers me: give your opinion if you would like to but when i prefer to do it another way that doesn't mean i'm choosing to do it the 'wrong' way just because it differs from your first choice!!
i don't understand that-- just b/c it's different doesn't make it bad, just everyone likes different things. a lot of times they will get in pretty big tiffs or arguments with me over things but i have always wanted the things i want and if FH agrees, they are not going to stop me from doing what makes me and FH happy-- b/c it's OUR wedding, not theirs... they had their day to choose what they wanted thirty years ago-- now it's our turn!

Mine aren't too bad. They rarely say anything about the wedding. I think bc FI and I are paying for everything, they feel it's not their place to make suggestions.

Re: Suggestions from in-laws??
The only suggestions that I have absolutely hated were for my bridal shower. Everyone continually throws around ideas for it infront of me. FMIL wants to have it at her house... which is way to small and wants to make all he favors and everything.
She exluded my mom in all of her said plans!!!

Re: Suggestions from in-laws??
I should be happy that at the beginning, my FMIL said- it's her wedding, I'll just show up. However, she picks on everything my FH does and is so negative towards him that it drives me crazy. I love him so much and I know how much it kills him when she craps all over him like that. She never has a nice thing to say about anything!!
Even though they supposedly have a million dollars in the bank (or so his dad claims), they're not contributing a single penny towards the wedding other than the RD which they're getting a deal on cause they know the owner. Meanwhile my parents, who are stuggling to pay their mortgage ever since my mom had a stroke and had to stop working, refinanced their house to help us out.
On top of all that, for our e-party, she got us the shittiest little gift that wasn't on our registry and was ugly and I hate it and would never have picked it out myself ever. I checked to see how much it was and it was like 79 bucks and I know she used one of those BB&B's 20% off coupons!! I wish I had it in me to return it, kind of like how she returned the mother's day gift I bought her!
