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.

That's when you tell her.."she's not allowed to eat, drink or breath"...because then she'd be "copying you". & then tell her how stupid & childish it sounds for her to tell you what you can/can't do and just leave it @ that....if she wishes to be a bitch even more...just elope like my wife & I did, to leave all the familial "jackasses" out of it....or just don't invite her.

It's your wedding and you should be able to do what you want to do. Who cares what she thinks. Tell your fiance about it and see what he says about it. Hopefully he's not a mama's boy and doesn't side with his mom otherwise you will have some major problems in throughout this marriage. Goodluck!

Listen to someone that's been dealing with an in approving mother in law for 25 years. Don't do it!!! If you get into this marriage, your life will be a living hell. She obviously doesn't approve of you, it will not get better. It'll get worse & when your 50 & she's 83, it'll still be going on!

Aw this makes me so worried. My older sister's boyfriends mom is already psycho about them dating, if they get married I really hope it doesn't get worse. It seems like the mothers of boys really get possessive about their baby when it comes time to leave the nest. :(

Tell her to take her busted old ass to a gown shop and look at the photos and dresses that she copied... Tell her to google weddings.. Then tell her to get ******. Kick rocks bitch!
