Yeah, feel free to hate her taste, but you can't hate her. Just note to self, never ask this woman whether she likes an outfit, a meal, a piece of furniture because her taste sucks! But she must have done something right if she raised the man you're going to marry. So suck it up, buttercup, and drop the grudge.

She raised the most amazing man! That is why I'm surprised she can be so cold and hurtful. I saw her Saturday and things went well. I wasn't as chummy as I normally am, but no one felt any friction between us at the bbq. I will let it slide and continue planning the wedding of our dreams with my FI!

If you are lucky, this will be the only time she'll have something negative to say throughout the planning process. I don't know what it is, but something about weddings makes people turn in to monsters you'd never believe. Even my own mom did this. I saw the ugliest side of a lot of family members over this past year, and I still have some tender spots because of it. Now that the wedding is over (thank goodness!), things are settling back to normal. I'll still be a little leery around certain people for a while, but I know it'll fade with time.

My best advice for you is to keep her as uninvolved as possible in your wedding. If you accept her money, accept it knowing that you've given some control/power over to her. Don't take the money if you're not ok with that. Stay civil to her and hopefully everything will work out.

My MIL doesn't like me much and has told my husband that I ruined is life. I met my husband in 1998 and we started dating in 2010. When we got married I was 33 and he was 38. He blows her off when he starts saying things about me. The last time she did though he chewed her out. I still speak to her and will text her about things, ask her how she is doing etc. She now gripes at me over choices we make about our son. But I just don't let it bother me. I just roll my eyes and move on.

I am sorry this happened but I would just be nice and civil to her. I hope this is the last time something like this happens.
