My mother and grandmother were planning or at least talking about getting a ball and chain for my FI after the ceremony. They think that it is a good tradition and since my father had one, my FI should. I had to contain myself at the idea of it. I found it insulting to me, as if I would simply be a burden, something that he will be forced to carry around with him forever. I personally think that idea is tacky. I had voiced my opinion that it was tacky, and they began to insult my FI idea for cake toppers, saying that something that reflects our personality would be tacky. At this point I really needed to leave. I was wondering what opinions other brides had, as well as venting a little. Thanks
