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.

How can you be copying her? Aren't all weddings the same for the most part?

Tell her to **** off cause those are all traditional at weddings and your wedding is about you and your groom to be so really she has no right to tell what to do on you day.

Say she copied other people's weddings.

So get married in a castle, wear an ivory dress and have tulips... then tell her where she can ram it.

Thank you for that! First comment to really make me laugh in a while! :)

I wonder if she's even aware that her personal unique precious wedding is actually the main tradition. Hmmm.... I wonder if her husband's mother was honored in any way at her own ceremony. Best not copy that either. ;)

Good thing I'm not keen on a church setting myself! Horseback wedding actually! Hey, I've seen a skydiving and scuba diving wedding.

Well unless she's paying, she shouldn't really have much of a say so, even if she is paying that is still outrages.

*outrageous. outrages is when someone makes you upset. As in "Honey, your bitch of a mom said I can't have a white dress, roses or a church wedding, that really *out rages* me, I think she is being outrageous"

Those are all the wedding clichés, you'd be copying billions of women. Now, if she got married in a working slaughterhouse, wore a bathysphere as a wedding dress and used tied-up bunches of coral and corn snakes as flowers, she could patent that shit and prevent you from copying it. You probably ought to bang your future father-in-law just for spite.

having sex nope not allowed. She'd still be copying her.

#87, the irony of my proposal is that while the OP is forbidding copying her in trivial ways, she could copy her in a devastating way. That's the spite part.

Tell her "bitch please.."

Tell her not to worry. You plan for an orgy, no clothes allowed.
