Today, my soon-to-be mother-in-law decided that she is going to be in charge of planning my wedding. All decisions must be approved by her, and anything she doesn't like will be thrown out. She also wants to go on our honeymoon with us to make sure I don't "defile" her son. FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, my future mother-in-law informed me that since she is putting money into our wedding, that all the planning and arrangements are under her authority. FML
Today, my father-in-law decided he was going to just completely take over our engagement party, so now my fiancé just wants to go to Reno and get married there. FML
Today, my future mother-in-law finally admitted that I'm "not the girl for her son" and that she will do anything to break us up. FML
Today, I called my mom to make sure she could attend on the wedding day my fiancé and I had discussed. She started off with criticizing the venue we considered, then went on to criticize my fiancé, and then stated she would under no circumstances help out, but demanded to pick my wedding dress. FML
Today, marks the sixth day in a row that my mum has called me to discuss my upcoming wedding. She's obsessed and has intimidated the actual planner I hired into going along with her plans. She's slipped up twice already and accidentally referred to it as her own wedding. Just great. FML
Today, my fiancé suggested we bring his elderly mother with us on our honeymoon. 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 was talking to my future mother-in-law about my upcoming wedding. She told me that I wasn't allowed to have the wedding at a church, nor wear a white dress, nor have roses for flowers, because that would mean I'd be "copying" her. FML
Today, I'm getting married. A few months ago, I allowed my mother in-law to take care of catering. She begged to be a part of the wedding, so I gave her the caterer's number and order info. It appears that I will not be eating at my own wedding because she decided to order food I'm allergic to. FML
Today, my fiancée decided to go on a "vacation." Our wedding is tomorrow. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If she shares a room with you guys to make sure you don't "defile" her son, do it. And be as loud as humanly possibly

Oh hell no! Show that Texan in you and tell your FMIL just exactly how things will go. My FMIL isn't involved in planning my wedding at all and I love it like that. My future husband and I stopped asking her opinion when all she could do is shoot down everything we showed her but she hasn't ever supported our relationship which is a whole nother story itself but I would tell her straight up it MY wedding NOT hers and I don't want her opinion and I'm not going to ask it I'm a grown adult and she can't force me. And either keep the honeymoon destination a secret or send her to one place and y'all go to a completely different location and then if she figures it out and still shows up on the honeymoon have her escorted off the property. Also talk to your FFIL about all this. There's no way mine would let my FMIL get away with all this surely yours won't either. Good luck girl. Tell that Monster-In-Law what's what!!

This is why mother-in-laws should be illegal

Not all mother-in-laws are like op's.

Not all comments should be taken with 100% sincerity.

Agreed! ?

She's probably not even offering to pay for any of it. Regardless, she should have no say. Tell her to eff off.

Just say no!

Run. Run far. Run fast. Run now

This behavior gives insight into what she'll be like in the future, so be prepared for that. Sounds like she's going to be the invasive, controlling MIL type. Also, is this YOUR wedding, or HER wedding? Stand up for yourself and take back control of your and your finance's special day, and don't let her come on the honeymoon. If you make a stand now, maybe it'll show her you can't be pushed around.

This is why I'd probably prefer elopement. No hassle with a big-ass ceremony, and it's perfectly legal.

Buy her a pair of rubber balls- make note the balls in question you will soon own, and defile any way mutually agreed, by your self and her son..

What does the groom think of this? If he lays down for mama on this, you might want to take a step back. Your MIL isn't going to back down after the wedding.
