Family, Weddings and Love: Don't get it

Don't get it

By Anonymous - 09/05/2015 19:17 - United States - Bristol

Today, my fiancée called off our wedding at the last moment, because her neurotic sister thinks she's "too fat" to be the maid of honor, and says she needs several months to lose weight. So that's a few thousand dollars wasted. My fiancée says I'm "overreacting" and that I "just don't get it". FML

Same thing different taste

Get out while you still can

Today, my fiancée called off our wedding out of the blue. After a long discussion about it, it turns out that last week I voiced an opinion about the wedding she didn’t agree with, and doesn’t want to spend her life married to someone who’s going to argue with her every five minutes. FML

Quite the catch

Today, I was shopping for dresses when my fiancé turned into what I can only call a groomzilla. He told me and my maid of honor that we need to lose weight because he's not "paying all this money for a pair of fatties to not look good." FML

Dodging a bullet

By Lard - 19/09/2024 08:00 - United States

Today, my fiance called off our engagement, all because I let myself go due to comfort eating and depression since my mother passed and I got fired from work. He told me to lose 60 pounds or he “won’t consummate the marriage with my lard ass.” Our wedding and honeymoon were less than a month away. FML

Today, my sister told me she didn’t want me in her wedding pictures because I looked fat in my bridesmaid's dress. FML

Today, I spent thirty minutes on the phone with my best friend's mom, because her daughter was too afraid to tell me that I'm no longer a bridesmaid at her wedding because I'm too fat. FML

Today, my sister backed out of my wedding because it was becoming too much about me. After I begged her to reconsider, I had no choice but to pick a new bridesmaid. When my new bridesmaid posted on Facebook how excited she was, my sister commented, "See, you made HER feel special." FML

Food fight

By hss - 30/05/2011 01:59 - United States

Today, my fiancé and I had a fight because he wouldn't let me get what I wanted to eat, even though it was my money. He said, "It's way too many calories. I'm supposed to help you lose weight." When I pointed out that I had given up a month ago, he looked at me and said, "Yeah, I can tell." FML

Today, my fiancée told me she can't marry me. Our wedding day is tomorrow and around 20 of our 180 guests attending have travelled half way around the world just for the occasion. FML

So romantic…

By Anonymous - 05/05/2024 05:00

Today, my proposal was slightly ruined when the ring I got her, which I could have sworn was the same size as other rings she owns, was a whole 3 sizes too big. She agreed to marry me but is now sulking because she thinks I think she’s fat and needs a big ring for her fat fingers. Give me a break. FML

Today, at our wedding, instead of saying "I do", my fiancé paused before saying, "I can't do this", stepped down from the altar and proposed to my maid of honor. When she obviously refused, he ran from the venue bawling. He's not returning my calls. FML

This is a sign. Run now while you can.

Ask your fiancée why she didn't just tell her sister she looked great and that she wasn't fat instead of non verbally agreeing with her sisters thought by giving her time to lose weight.

She sounds somewhat crazy... Her sister as well... looks like you are marrying into crazy. Good luck with that.

Maybe she shouldn't be the maid of honor after all.

I'm female and I think your fiancee is a dumb bitch. warning, if she does this now, she'll do it in the future

I'm sure you love her, but you really need to have some basic rules about what doesn't make sense in a relationship and the fact that you need to come first (now that you are vowing to spend the rest of your lives together, and all).

I feel like asking that question will only lead to OP permanently moving into the doghouse.

I think this sounds like cold feet and she used her sister as a way out. Her sister might have felt self conscious. But that is no excuse to not marry someone.

I'm pretty sure she would have tried that before calling off her entire wedding last minute for one person. unless she got cold feet or something and was looking for an excuse to stall/get out of it. but that'd be a different issue entirely

coming back in the future 30

Wow that's ****** up. I sense financial troubles in the future.

Your fiancee and her sister have issues and are willing to allow those issues to significantly affect others. Think about what other issues could occur in the future before committing to planning another wedding. Personally, I'd run far from this crazy family.

Yeah definitely. She chose her sister's vanity over OP. That shows just how important OP is to her. End it now, spare the pain in the future.

Normally I'd try to find a better solution, but this case is particularly a little bit more unique in terms of stupidity; therefore running is the best solution here. Good luck, OP.
