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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

How could you have not known that she didn't like you before you let her organise the wedding invitations for you. Sorry OP but I think you slightly deserved it.

Maybe she's just an idiot, and is one of those dumbasses who think that quotation marks are for emphasis.

I have dealt with this crap before here is what you do. 1. make it clear she is now missing her daughters wedding she is not welcome at the wedding or the reception afterwards. 2. remind her that on top of this some day you and your wife will be having children and that while you would love for them to know their grandma it isn't nessesary. some think the response is a bit on the atomic side of things. but M.A.D. has kept country's from stepping too far for the better half of a century now. trust me unless she has some serious clout such as control of her daughters fortune she will blink first.

That might be a bit extreme and could hurt his fiancee by doing that, she will want her mother there at her wedding after all. However, she should be telling her mother off for that. I would be furious with my mum for that and would be ignoring her for weeks if not months. She may not like the guy, but that is NO reason to ruin invitations. Got a problem? Talk about it, don't go behind someone's back, its very petty and rude.

if my fiance wanted her there that badly then her mother may write a public apologize stating what she did and apologizing for it. after I approve it she can pay to have ot posted in the local paper on top of the cost, time, and effort in mailing a copy to everyone she mailed an invitation to. you must understand i am not telling him how to win this fight. i am telling him to win every fight from now to forever before it is even started.

I have to agree with this. Put your foot down immediately so the woman knows her immature behaviour will not be tolerated in your new family.

If you knew she didn't like you, you probably shouldn't have let her be in charge of ANYTHING that has to do with your wedding.

His fiancé is probably the one who let her mother do the invitations. Why the **** are you blaming the OP?

This is why I'm going to try and do the invitations myself, I'm not gonna let anyone **** that up for me. I can do that myself :)
