Wedding Woes

FMIL drama -- VENT

I know that there can be battles that will occur while planning your wedding. I was just curious if other brides had some difficulty with their FMIL. Mine was ok in the beginning, but now it seems that she is arguing with us left and right. She's only helping with the honeymoon and my parents and I are footing the rest.

My FH was deciding on a fourth groomsman (he wanted an even number after saying it could be uneven). He sugessted a friend of his or my brother, but she didn't like that. She wanted one of his cousins since no one from her side of the family even thouhg the groomsmen are his 3 brothers! Also he didn't want to pick favorites among his several male cousins (only one female cousin and she's a great friend to me and a BM).

She then wanted to add cousins that I don't know and FH doesn't know well. We had a 100 ppl on the guest list and we're at 135 right now. He's frustrated and doesn't really want her input anymore. I would like to include her since she doesn't a daughter. I just don't like arguing over every detail with her.

How should I handle this?

  • YOU shouldn't take it upon yourself to handle this - let your FH deal with his mother. It sounds like it's bothering him too so he should stand up to her.

  • I agree! Let your Fiance deal with his mom.

    I'm having issues with my fiance's mom and his sister so I know how you feel. But it should be coming from him that he needs to say enough! Hope all goes well!!
  • He is standing up to her and I don't think she likes it. She has argued over everything we mention about the wedding. IDK if I should not tell her about details and make it the way we want it. We are setting it up the way we want it and talk about different ideas that we would like to include to make it special for us.

    He did decide on picking my brother after she was telling him who to pick as his last guy. As of right now, I told her we are way over and I wasn't inviting half of my cousins (27 cousins total before spouses and their kids) so she did back off. I'm hoping there's no more, but we'll see.
