Hey everyone,
I need to vent. My fmil is going to drive me crazy. She is making everything so difficult and complaining about everything. My parents are paying for the wedding, we have a budget and she just doesn't seem to care. We were considering havening the wedding on a Thursday at one point, and it was a huge issue. Everyone in my family would have been fine with it. She flipped out saying, well none of our friends will be able to come. Who would go to a wedding on a Thursday night, how dumb! And the thing is we are trying to keep it around 75 people family mostly and some of our own friends, my parents are only inviting family and one or two close friends. His parents have ten couples that are there friends! And when we mentioned it to them they said well we already told them they were invited!!! I am getting so frustrated. We decided to have it on a Friday and its set now 8/24/2012!!!!
My family is throwing an engagement party for us and we invited some friends and his parents. They didn't want any of the rest of there family to be invited which is fine. Now she is like, "So who is all coming to this engagement party", "Your not expecting gifts are you". And we were like no we are not expecting gifts, but some people might bring some its up to them. (I know some of the family might). My sister requested us to start a registry just a couple of things because some people had asked about it. So we made a small registry just in case..... Also it is a huge issue that my family is requesting people to RSVP for the engagement party, they want to know an estimate of people I don't see the problem! I don't understand what the big deal is. She said, "Well we haven't RSVP'd yet we will if we have time."
Sorry this is so long, I am just so frustrated, it goes beyond this she has a say in everything about the wedding and complains about the venue we picked and tells us our ideas are dumb. She also suggest things that we just won't be able to do because we are sticking to our budget.
Thanks for listening, Halie
