    Do your in-laws understand? If so, have them say something to her. I had family who wanted me to change my date because they weren't able to make it until the next month but it was my mama who put her foot down and explained that we chose our date for us and we would be keeping that date no matter what (but we were very sorry that we wouldn't be able to see them, blah blah blah).

    That's ridiculous. You could take a page from The O.C.'s handbook. Whenever they say something crazy like you should change your date, smile, nod, and say 'That's an interesting idea. We'll be sure to give it some thought.' and then do what you're already planning to do anyway :)

    Every time you see her, you should immediately start nagging her to get her boyfriend to change the date of his trip. lol  Seriously, though, It's just her boyfriend- it's not that serious for him to be there.

    Uh they suck! I don't think you are being "bia-tchy," it is the day you picked and you should be able to have that day. They can deal. Haha. GL dealing with them! I would be pissed too if I were you.

    Don't get loud. Just ignore it.  You've already told her several times. The next time she brings it up. Say "we're not changing the date.  But, I'm glad you're coming to the reception.  So, how are things with your job? "

    Just change the subject or listen to her bitch and then don't say anything in response or excuse yourself to do something else.  You could also try the broken record technique.  Just simply say "the date is set" for everything she says.  Or if you're not comfortable doing that, simply ask her to talk to your fiance about it.

    This is GOOD! "smile, nod, and say 'That's an interesting idea. We'll be sure to give it some thought.' and then do what you're already planning to do anyway :)"
    GL!

    Does this call for a code 235?! LOL

    She is out of line and needs to get it together...like seriously. It's not her wedding, and if you dont want to change your date...then you dont! She's just going to have to deal with it. She'll be fine.

    I'd go with the smile, nod and do the opposite thing too! Unless you see her everyday that might get annoying, then you might need to tell her that its not changing and you're not going to talk about it anymore. Just tell her to put on her big girl pants and get over it!

    My cousin/MOH's husband already had plans with his dad for the weekend of our wedding. She didn't ask me to change our date and I don't see why any rational human being would feel that they're entitled to ask that of you. IT'S.YOUR.WEDDING. Tell her she can pick whatever date she wants when she's a big girl and gets her own wedding. ;)

    Ugh ... I could feel my blood pressure rising just reading this post ... so annoying!  It just never ceases to amaze me how much people think their opinions matter when it comes to other people's weddings.  I wish I could say I was shocked at how relentless she is being but I know a few people (one in particular) exactly like that.  I'm definitely with everyone on the just smile and nod advice, along with a dramatic eye roll as soon as you are out of sight.  As completely impossible as it sounds, the best thing you can do at this point is to turn off the 'give a damn' switch.  Let her words literally go in one ear and out the other and don't let them even enter any conversations from this point on.  The more you think/talk about it, the more furious you will likely get ... you have too many other things to be happy about and enjoy thinking about to even be bothered with this nonsense.  Man, in-laws get me all worked up ... haha.  Now if only I could take my own advice ;)
