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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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.

This is when you say innocently "Wait, so does that mean you copied my mom and people in the movies too."

Nows the time to stand up to her and be sure your fiancé has your back. If he doesn't stick up for you then run! Otherwise you'll have a lifetime of crazy...

I would not give a damn what she says or thinks. She could always keep her ass home. But since she's this ridiculous, I think you should have your wedding at the same church and have roses there just to **** with her. You're really gonna have trouble with this woman. And if and when you decide to have children, she'll probably say that you can't name your child after your husband because that will be copying her. Smh.

In all honestly, I'd totally be okay with that since I'm not religious, hate roses, and white dresses are like big towels. But if someone said I couldn't do it, that'd anger me enough to do it! ._.

You should do it at the same church, same style dress, same color roses. Copy everything out of spite.
