FMIL just called asking for the address to my bridal shower this weekend. It was supposed to be a surprise for me...now I know. She really couldn't call my MOH, mother or her own daughter to find out? The woman is driving me nuts!!!! AHH!!!

    Not really sure how it was suppose to be a surprise if you knew that it was going to take place this weekend.  Unless the location was suppose to be a surprise? 

    Or maybe I am reading this completely wrong and she came right out and told you that it was this weekend and needed the address.  She may have not known it was suppose to be a surprise.  I was invited to a bridal shower for a friend once and no where on the invite did it state that it was a surprise.  I only found out that it was a surprise when I showed up.  Thank God I didn't post anything about me going to it on Facebook, like "Off to so and so's bridal shower."

    Oh well. If that's the worst thing your MIL has done, be glad. Sorry your surprise was spoiled, but don't get too worked up.

    I already knew it was this weekend, but the location was kept a surprise. And FMIL knew it was a surprise. I just spoke with my MOH who is hosting and she said she 1. Already gave directions to FMIL and 2. Told her to directly contact her (MOH) if she needed any more info. This is not the first issue that I've had with FMIL and I'm guessing it wont be the last.

    In all fairness, she didn't ruin that much of a surprise.  I mean, you already knew it was happening.  I would let this go.  There are worse things in life, and definitely far worse things in FMILS.

    I guess I'm more annoyed because this isn't the first issue I've had with her during the wedding planning process. I'm still super excited for the shower. I honestly feel bad for my family and bridesmaids who kept it a secret while planning it, then in 1 minute FMIL gives away their secret.

    Honey, what you need to realize is that the way your FMIL is acting now will not change once the wedding is over with.  So you need to learn to roll with the punches because she will be a part of your life till death do you part.

    Yes, I'm fully aware she won't change. I was just venting, like a lot of ladies on here do.

    I am well aware that you were venting.  But some brides think that behaviors will change once the wedding is over with so not only was I stating my opinion for you but also for any other bride that may come along and read this post.

    Hahaha...this made me giggle.

    I don't mean to be mean but I don't get the whole "You are having a bridal shower on this date but the location is a surprise".  That better be one hell of a location to keep it such a secret.
