Today, I announced my engagement. My mother's response was to freak out and demand that I postpone my wedding indefinitely. Why? My younger sister caught the bouquet at a wedding last year, so "she has to get married first!" My sister has been single for 3 years and showers once a week. FML

Today, my sister announced that she just got engaged… right as I was in the midst of giving birth to my twin daughters. The thing is, she's not actually engaged. In fact, she's single. She just couldn't stand that I was "upstaging" her and "had to think of something fast." FML
Today, at my younger sister's wedding, my hospitalised grandmother called to ask if I have a boyfriend yet, both my parents wondered if I'll ever get married, and when the 13-year-old next to me caught the bouquet, his father yelled from the back to give it to me instead. FML
Today, my sister asked me if I was going to be getting married "for real" this time, because she didn't want to waste her money like she did on my previous engagement. The reason that one didn't work out in the first place is because she slept with my fiancé. FML
Today, my father told all of us that he eloped with his girlfriend of two months. I'm engaged to the woman's daughter, and have been engaged since before they met, but now my family is making fun of me for marrying my "sister". FML
Today, I got my first big promotion at work. Excited, I shared the news with my parents. My mom responded with, "That’s nice, dear, but your sister just got engaged," and hung up to go back to celebrating with her. FML
Today, after a day of anxiety and worry that something bad would happen, I decided to keep my two daughters home from being flower girls at my sister's wedding. Now my sister and entire family is blowing up my phone. Apparently her wedding is my important than a mother worried about her babies. FML
Today, a week after my fiancé and I got engaged, his mother is already complaining that she isn't involved enough in the wedding arrangements. We haven't even set a date yet. FML
Today, I found out that my fiancé's sister, who only got engaged a couple of months ago, is getting married before us. I wouldn't have a problem with this if she wasn't planning her wedding to be exactly like ours will be. FML
Today, I overheard my mom talking on the phone with my sister about how much they hate my fiancé. My wedding is in two weeks and my family has been pretending to like my future husband for three years. FML
Today, my mother excitedly jumped up and down, announcing that one of her sweet younger coworkers got engaged. I wished she'd had the same reaction to my engagement when I announced it to her a few days earlier. FML

Have your wedding when you want to, OP. tell her if she doesn't like it, she doesn't have to come.

Agreed. Send her an invite, but if she decides not to come then it's her loss. I hope your big day is great!! :)

Hell no! If my mom declines to my wedding I'd drag her there!

I'd grab my mother by the ear, and drag her to my wedding. it'll be a miracle if I ever get married.

I say do what makes you happy, don't postpone the wedding for a ridiculous reason like that. Also, you've got to talk to your sister about her hygiene, ugh.

I like your username because you should marry him anyway. It's not your mother's decision. Don't let her get in the way of your happiness.

Remind your mother that an even older tradition is that the younger sister can't be out in society if the older one isn't married yet - so your sister caught that bouquet illegally. That is if she wants to believe in that stuff.

As long as you and your (Soon to be) spouse are happy, who cares? Enjoy your wedding.

#31 best laugh I've had today.

#31 I think that's illegal? Though I would most likely consider that if I were OP...
