I get along w/ FMIL very well but there are a few WR things she is doing that urk me... lol
I'm going to vent away!
1.) Last summer FI's cousin (so FMIL's nephew) got married. When ever we get to talking about WR things, she keeps starting every one of her thoughts with "Well at C & B's wedding they did _______. " and then implies that we need to do the same.... like they had the wedding of the century! LOL It's annoying, FI and I were both at the wedding too, we know what it was like but want our OWN wedding! So stop it FMIL... haha
2.) Around Christmas time FMIL told us that we could use their timeshare in Myrtle Beach for our honeymoon. FI asked his dad about it a few weeks ago and he started going on and on about how he and FMIL are using the timeshare in May and it works on a point system and not sure if there will be enough points left. I don't know if it's just FFIL being himself (he's kinda weird like that sometimes) or if FMIL jumped the gun on offering it to us when it's not really possible. I'm not really mad about this, but wish I knew what was going on so I could start checking out other honeymoon options in our budget. Back to point #1--- FMIL thinks we should go there for our honeymoon because that's where cousin C & B went on their honeymoon last summer! (LMAO!)
3.) FMIL runs a thrift shop at the hospital near where they live. A dress came into the shop that she likes and thinks she is going to wear to the wedding. Personally I think it's ugly... it's a maroon color spaghetti strap dress with some funky long tulle things (maybe a connected wrap? or maybe they are supposed to be tied decoratively somehow) It looks a lot like a bridesmaid dress. LOL I keep saying to her "Well, you still have some time. You should check out <insert random department store> and see if you find anything you like better" I don't really care what she wears, but really this dress is ugly! haha
4.) Another thing FMIL said she is going to do is host the Rehersal Dinner--- ok fine by me. Last I saw her, she brought it up and asked when it was going to be. I replied by saying it would be the night before the wedding (a Thurs night) I've already told my whole bridal party (whom many of them have already put in requests off from work for) FMIL says, "Oh, well I work until 5:00pm on Thursdays and FFIL has work too." WTF Really??? It's your son's wedding!! Take the day off of work? She wants to have it the Friday before the wedding... I think that's stupid and plus most of the bridal party probably be able to get off of work to come. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of having a rehersal in the first place? I told FI about our conversation and told him he needs to talk to him mom & get it figured out! I didn't really say anything back answering her and just kind of changed the subject. LOL So far this has been my only Bridezilla-ish freak out.
lol, this ended up being really long! If you've made it to here you deserve a big pat on the back!
It does feel nice to be able to vent on here though, can't really do that IRL!
