My Fiancé’s family drives me crazy. I think his mother hates me. Please, tell me if I am overreacting.
This all started out so nice. I even made his sister a bridesmaid, and both my brothers are in the wedding. His sister has been in bad health in the past, and is finally back at school. But she won't even answer my text messages. At the last bridesmaid get together, she loudly complained to anyone who would listen that I scheduled the event the day before she had a morning class. When I was trying on my dress for the first time, my fiance's sister took one look at the train on the dress and said, "I hope you don't think I'm going to straighten that out at the altar because I'm not." Her newest gripe is that she won't be able to make the bridesmaids' luncheon or the rehearsal dinner because those events will be on a Thursday, and she can't miss class. Before we set the date, my fiancé and I made sure to ok the wedding date with everyone, and I was assured that it would not be a problem.
But sister girl is only part of the problem; the MOG has really gotten on my last nerve. For every complaint her daughter makes, my MOG complains twice as loud. She was supposed to throw an engagement party, but never did. She is supposed to be throwing a couple's shower, but I don't think that is going to happen either. The MOB dress has also been a point of contention. Recently the MOB bought a dress for the wedding and unlike my mother and grandmother who invited me to shop and purchased long dresses, my MOB bought a short, red dress to wear off the internet. She didn't even ask my opinion.
I'm fed up. The next thing we have to talk about is the decorations for the rehearsal dinner, but I'm sure I'll have to do that as well. Did I also mention that they have not put a cent toward this wedding? They are far better-off than my parents, but my parents are the only help we've got. We inquired about help for the honeymoon and they just said we’d have to make it work with our wedding budget.
HELP!
