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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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 mother thought it would be a wonderful idea to make me late for me own wedding. It wouldn't be so bad if she hadn't focused solely on my sister because my wedding didn't center on her. The sister in question snubbed being my maid of honor over a year ago, and just decided to randomly show up. 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, I learned that if you complain to your mom about your future mother-in-law's bitchiness, your overprotective mom might confront her about it and end up punching her in the face. My fiancée blames me for the incident. FML
Today, I got married and my mom refused to be there because my dad, whose guts she hates, was there even though I promised repeatedly that I would keep them apart. I couldn't do the mother-son dance. She keeps insisting that it was a "lapse in judgment." Yeah, like we're really going to be able to have a do-over. FML
Today, my fiancé and I met his mother for lunch to discuss wedding plans. When we got there, I went to the bathroom to wash my hands. I heard a woman talking on her cell phone in the stall about her son's "disgusting, slutty girlfriend." The toilet flushed and my future mother-in-law walked out. FML
Today, I was busy going over wedding plans with my fiancé, when my mother called. Apparently, she wants me to "drop the joke" about this "fake engagement", because she was under the impression I was only dating a white guy to piss her and dad off, and was now getting carried away with it. 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, whilst trying on wedding dresses with my mom, she told me that I looked fat and awful in the dress I liked. When I told her how hurtful she was being, she told me that I should be grateful that she told me what she thought instead of laughing at me behind my back. FML

Take back her invitation before she ruins your special day. She will...

If she is going to be like that, tell her she is uninvited and don't even think about showing up or you'll have her thrown out.

"Mom,... kiss my grits. My wedding, my dress. You might have some input IF you helped."

People can't demand to pick out things they're not paying for. If you let her, you're giving her freedom/opportunity to make more demands about your wedding and your marriage.

I know the feeling. My mother is trying to tell me who I can and who I can't invite to my wedding. If so and so comes or doesn't get invited I am not going. Tried on a dress that I fell in love with and all I heard was "you need to keep looking, "somethings look better on the rack then they do you", and "not my decision, but you shouldn't get that dress." She keeps telling people we still have lots of time to plan. My question to her is who is this we? Last I knew this was mine and my fiance's wedding not yours. Whom doesn't like her and she has no idea why. Hmm...

@43 You bought the dress you wanted anyway, right?

Sounds like she shouldn't even be invited.

It doesn't. matter what she thinks, OP. If you like then just put a ring on it.

I'm guessing her written invitation will have a change of venue in a different town and the fix up one you sent out got lost in the mail?
