June 2012 Weddings

Bridal shower vent - ppl talking sh*t

I'll try to make a long story short... Here's some background: I got engaged December 2012 and my BFF (also my MOH) got engaged February 2011. I am getting married June 16th and she is getting married June 2nd. Her bridal shower, planned by her mother and sister (MOH), was two weekends ago. My shower, planned by my mom and MOH, was this past weekend. 
A friend of mine approached me on Monday and said, "the two ladies sitting across from me at your bridal shower were talking alot of sh*t. I guess they didn't know that I spoke Portuguese". These two ladies are my MOH's mother and sister!!!
According to my friend they said that there was too much food, they complained that one of the games we played was obscene, and that the cake was the only dessert (it wasn't). There was apparently much more complaining but this is all that my friend told me. I was FURIOUS. I have known them for 12 years and feel so betrayed. I would never do this to any of my friends. This is totally innapropriate and immature. 
According to my mom they arrived an hour early and asked my MOH why her shower didn't look as nice as mine... WTF, she didn't plan her shower, her sis and mom did (and btw did not let me help). They then made a comment about how many presents I had. I didn't take note of these things because I was so happy and nervous but my mom said that it was a noticeable difference in that I got many more. 
I feel that all of this is jealousy and I am disappointed that it is happenning. I wanted to call my MOH's sister and talk to her about it but my close friends and FI all recommended that I just let it go. They said that nothing would come of it and that I would only cause drama. I felt that it was wrong and felt a moral obligation to defend my mother but after giving it some thought I think they are right. I'm just so mad... ugh

  • Unfortunately, I think you need to just try to put it in the back of your mind.  I know I would have a hard time doing that and would probably think about it everytime I saw them for a long time.  However, with your weddings so close together neither one of you need the added stress.  Plus, it wouldn't be putting your MOH in a very good spot.  I'm sorry your feelings are hurt by someone you have known for such a long time.
  • Take the high road on this one.  It definitely sounds like jealousy ... but since it's not your MOH and just her family, I would ignore it.
  • I agree in taking the high road. I know it sucks but they're just jealous. All that matters is you had a nice shower and you're marrying your FI :)

  • That sucks.

    I really hate when people use a perceived language barrier to their advantage. I think they make asses out of themselves more often than they realize.

    Like PPs have said, take the high road and don't put your MOH in a bad spot.

    Or I'd probably learn a phrase or 2 in Portugese and bad talk them at your MOH's wedding loudly.

    Threadjack: I agree completely.  Where I work I hear so many different languages in the parking structure elevator and it's usually people talking about other people dissing them.

  • They would probably love nothing more than to upset you. Don't give them the satisfaction! Keep your held high!
  • I agree in taking the high road. The last thing you want to do is create and stir up any more drama.

  • I know this would really hurt if it happened to me because I've also known my MOH's family forever and think of them as family as well.  I have to agree that it's best to let it go, and it most likely came from jealousy.  Try to remember that when people get jealous they lose sight of what really matters, they were probably just doing it to make themselves feel better since your shower was obviously way better than hers (which they were responsible for).
