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, my grandmother tried to upstage me at my wedding by wearing an actual wedding dress because she "never had a real wedding". FML
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, 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, my ex-fiancé married the woman he cheated on me with. Their wedding was an exact replica of how I had planned mine to be, decorations, colors, cake, etc. Oh, and she also copied the dress I'd said yes to. FML
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
Today, my best friend informed me that I could not be her maid of honour because I "wasn't as pretty as the other bridesmaids" and she wanted her wedding photos to have "consistency". FML
Today, I congratulated a bride standing in front of a church in a white dress. Turns out she'd been stood up at the altar. She thrashed me with her bouquet. 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, my mother beamingly asked for my opinion on her wedding dress. She is engaged to her cousin. Conveniently, they already have the same last name. FML
Today, I met my future mother-in-law. All went well; she complimented my dress, and I complimented her haircut. Then she and her son had a screaming match over how our children will be fat because of their mother. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

She also forgot to mention that you're not allowed to invite your future mother-in-law to the wedding. That'd be copying her too.

Just tell her you're not copying her, you're copying someone else (about 50% of brides!)

Roses= cliche. Tell her white is unoriginal and you want ivory. Then reminder her that you are now the number one woman in her sons life now and she better learn to deal with it

Thumbed you up 'cause it's silly to get thumbed down for a typo, especially when you corrected yourself. :)

It sucks that you have to deal with having an idiot/mean mother-in-law but I really hope you didn't consider listening to me...

Scramble the words in "mother-in-law", and it becomes Woman Hitler.

And if you scramble marriage you get "a grim era." Sounds like OP's future...

I love crazy mothers-in-law. I've got one, too. My solution was to move two hours away, and she's only been up to our house twice in the year we've lived here. Like jo929 said, remind her of the saying, "A daughter is a daughter for life; a son is a son until he takes a wife." Then make sure she doesn't have a spare key to your place.

I'd run away from that family! Your husband and his mother will always back each other.
