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.

oh crap, apparently I need to ask OPs mother in law if I can wear my white wedding gown, go to my church, and have roses. do u think I should ask about the cake too? seriously, Op do what u want or u will regret it. don't let ur mother in law control u. u know other people have traditional weddings so go do whatever u want. remind ur mother in law who will be taking care of her when she's old and senile, and if she treats u like shut then u get to put her in a retirement home.

That's probably not her actual reasoning, but either way she's a bitch.

Wow she's a smart one isn't she? She can't tell you you aren't allowed to have that in your marriage ceremony

I say you tell your mother, and if she doesn't think that she's being crazy tell your father. During this kind of occasion he tends to agree with you when someone is being unreasonable

Wow. And you are marrying into this world of selfishness and petty remarks. Yeah, good luck with that. Is your fiancée able to stand up to his mommy? If not, guess who is gonna lose every time... Yep! You. You need to talk this out. Otherwise you will be up against her self centered thoughts/feelings on many more occasions. Talk to het. Talk to your future hubby. Good luck. You're gonna need it.

tell her if she doesn't like it to keep her old ass at home then. or better yet, tell her she shouldn't attend, because her mother in law probably went to hers, and that would be copying too. if you don't put your foot down now, the bitch will ruin your marriage. also, talk to your future husband about this before it gets any worse.
