Today, my soon to be mother-in-law sent out the invitations she made for my wedding. On them, it says "You are invited to this 'special' event". In the same way, I'm referred to as "special", and my name is misspelled. Hint taken, you bitch. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I got an invitation in the mail for my dad's third wedding. My first name was misspelled on the envelope. FML
Today, my mother-in-law texted to wish me a happy birthday. She spelled my name wrong and it's not my birthday. FML
Today, it was my wedding day. When my soon-to-be-husband was saying his vows, he didn't say my name. He said his mother's. 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, my wife made me go with her to dinner with her parents, despite their long-standing hatred of me. Later on, my mother-in-law muttered to me, "I made yours special for ya", smirked, then made a show of scratching at her butt-crack. FML
Today, despite checking, double-checking, and triple-checking before we sent them to every member of our friends and family, some who live in foreign countries, our wedding invitations somehow had not one, but two spelling mistakes. They misspelled my surname and the address of the church. FML
Today, my future sister-in-law cancelled my invitation to her and my brother's wedding. Her reason was that I was incredibly rude to announce my pregnancy to my family at a time like this, because it took all the attention away from her. FML
Today, I drove 2 hours to my sister's wedding, only to find out my invitation was sent to me by mistake. She had me kicked out. FML
Today, I realized that both my husband and son refer to me as "the bitch." FML
Today, it was my wedding day. Everything went great, except that no one showed up. Apparently, the address of the invitation was typed wrong. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

She seems 'special' in her own little ways, too.

Mothers-in-law (I have no idea if that's the right way to say that) always suck, I'm surprised you could even trust her with invitations

I was thinking the same thing - if their relationship is not that great why would OP let her be responsible for something like this? The only reason would be that she is paying for most of it if not all. In that case OP deserves it and should have not agreed to having him and his fiancee treated this way.

They don't always suck! My aunt and my cousins' wife get along fine when they visit (2 hr drive).

Well when you unscramble mother-in-law you know what you get.

Once the wedding is complete run far away! Dont mind her.Or you could send them out again apologising for the "mix up" in the last ones

Good idea but they're usually very expensive. Most people get really nice quality cards. It might be a pain in the ass to order more

When first reading this, the idea popped into my head that they should change their venue and send out new cards, but not send the new one to the mother in law. Then I realize how tremendous a pile of work that'd be, and that'd be much easier to just tell her they're changing venue. Best case scenario she falls for it and doesn't show up, middle case she's late, and looks like an ass, because she went to the wrong place, and worst case she catches on and makes the wedding worse than before. It's a gamble, but roughly 66% chance of effect.

#39 I like your thinking. But the math is incorrect because there isn't a way to ensure that all three scenarios probability are weighted the same.

OP should have at least had a look at the invitations before they were sent out. However, FYL.

Sounds like one hell of an ungrateful bitch. You're going to make her daughter the happiest girl on the planet for marrying her, and all she's doing is selfishly trying to ruin you and your fiancés special moment.

Well Maybe shes just "special"

Good side is that everyone will have the proof of how bitchy she is to you. Sorry OP and good luck!

They're not "apostrophes," they're "quotation marks." Big difference there.

Bitch move!

Just give her a "special" table at the wedding.

if she's a robust woman tell her "we saved these three seats for you"

looks like your mother-in-law doesnt approve of you. you're not the first one and wont be the last one.... so dont let her ruin your wedding day. somethings are just not worth fighting for. fyl.
