Well the joke's on me re: Wedding at a Funeral (home)

SIL called DH last night and after yammering on about how things need to get cool with all of us (Xmas was awkward, as we hadn't seen them since things went down w/ her FI and DH in June), but she doesn't want to get into any of it, lets just brush it on under (can't say too much about that without seething. Her FI telling the family my H is a liar isn't trivial to me).

So then the words we'd been dreading came. "We'd really like it if you'd be in our wedding, as a bridesmaid/groomsman." EFFFFFFF. I want no part of this wedding, and the hilarity of it being in a funeral home was all I was holding onto to get me through it, but now I have to be in it. MF.

And yes, I pretty much have no choice. If I don't, it will just be one major drama with his family (and no matter how *right* DH and I are, we'll never be right when it comes to us vs. SIL, so there's really no point, as much as I HATE it), and we'll end up looking like the asshats, any way you slice it.

I just hope she plans on our dresses being black. Don't think I won't suggest it, if she doesn't.

    Whoa, whoa, whoa.  Clearly, I have missed an earlier post.

    She is getting married at a funeral home?!

    Yes. Last week sometime, zsa posted an article about it, and I found out the day before, and sure enough, it was the same damn place too.

    It's a "Community Life Center" but it's at one of the biggest cemetaries in the city. I have relatives buried there! And it's not even a nice location. It's in a not great part of town, and there's a Walmart across the street. We don't get why they're doing it there, but we're not really on great terms, so any way we would ask would surely be interpreted as "WTF are you doing it there?" (and really, how else do you say it?)

    hrmph.  I'd set a strict budget. I wouldn't be springing for a $350 bm dress for that shizz or anything.

    Oh man.  This will be good.

    And now I'm remembering that I was at one funeral in Indy.  It was on the east side of town (I think) and at a HUGE cemetary/funeral home.  Is that were this place is?  It was the most dramatic funeral..dove releases and timed play buttons on the boom box, etc.
