I think I F'cked Up Knotties..

It's a tough situation, but I always think it's best to be the better person. Then at least you tried.

My husband's SIL bad mouthed us to other people at their table at our wedding. It was all because I didn't allow her to get her hair and makeup done with the bridesmaids and mothers (which she was neither). At least the other people she was complaining to know that she is the trouble maker and didn't think anything bad about us. They were the ones that told us.

She is essentially a spoiled 35 year old brat, and isn't used to people telling her no. She also was talking shit about my husband to his best man's wife, and complaining that her husband wasn't best man. (FWIW, my husband wasn't her husband's best man in their wedding and they are not that close, so I don't know what she was complaining about). 

My husband didn't want to send them a thank you note for their gift, but I insisted we had to be the better people.

Wow, your situation is worse than mine. Just wow. Some people are just plain crazy.

Little update, DH called his brother to give him his old Wii game console and through their conversation the gift came up and he said he still needs to give it to him. So, DH is going to go by tomorrow to pick it up. 

Now I really feel like I need to bring up the thank you card snafu. Its almost as if I guilted them into giving the gift.

Not necessarily. I mean didn't they tell you before the wedding that they were bringing it to the reception? So maybe they just keep forgetting. Maybe you could just have your husband bring it up when he goes over there. After all the thank-you cards are, at least nominally, a shared responsibility. The card was from both of you. So perhaps he could say "yes, and we're sorry about sending the card early, we just saw it on the registry manager and got so excited, thank you so much" or similar. Which is basically true, anyway.
