Today, I received yet another letter from a relative bitching me out for not involving my parents in my wedding. The parents who showed no interest in our relationship and then yelled at my fiancé and me when we announced it to them, calling us stupid, naive, heathens, and mentally ill. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my crazily elitist parents were so desperate to get me to dump my fiancé that they threatened to divorce if I didn't. When I told them to go ahead, they bitched me out for being disrespectful. 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 family got mad at me for eloping and not inviting them to my wedding. Even though they admitted they wouldn't have gone anyway. 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, it seems my mom didn’t believe me when I told her multiple times I was not going to my nasty bitch sister's wedding. Then she acted surprised and outraged when, shocker, I didn’t go, and has been leaving me texts and voicemails for over an hour. FML
Today, my husband and I came clean to his overbearing parents about our private wedding. It started with them accusing him of making rash decisions, and somehow descended into an argument amongst themselves that ended with his mom deciding to divorce his dad. FML
Today, I got a letter from my mother-in-law stating that demons made her spread rumors about me all over my hometown before my wedding. FML
Today, I found out that my fiancé's parents are refusing to pay for a honeymoon, because they "didn't have one, so neither will we", meaning they won't pay for a single thing for our wedding. 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 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Did your parents really expect to be invited after that? They might be your parents but doesn't mean you have to accept that behavior at your wedding.

In your shoes, I'd be sending a form letter back to everyone trying to interfere, explaining that it's none of their business and if they don't quit trying to interfere, they won't be included either.

I can very nearly relate. You have my sympathy

It seems to me that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree in your family, or at least it applies to most (if not all) until you entered the picture. I sure hope that these relatives of yours is not invited.

I know was an email not sufficient?

My mother wasn't too supportive when my sister first told her she was engaged. For some time, she was very negative about it, and she openly told my sister how she felt (which, to be honest, I shared her opinions, but that's another story). She came around eventually and is now excited about it and is involved in the planning with her. This may not be the same in this case, but maybe stay on good terms with the parents and invite them to be involved? I'm not saying what they said is right, but they may still come around.

@76 If they call Op to apologize and offer their support then I would agree with letting them be involved. At this time, however, Op should not be trying to make their parents feel welcome because they haven't done anything to earn that privilege.

Costs 35 cents to send a letter, but it's free to mind your damn, motherfucking business bitch...

There's just one part of this story I don't understand: who still sends letters in 2016?

One less dinner plate to pay for! Family is who you want it to be. I gave up trying with most of mine and my life is better for it!

Both my brother and my fiancés mom actively tried to break us up; I feel your pain. Personally I want to elope and say screw it to everyone.
