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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 mother-in-law became my boss. FML
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 future mother-in-law finally admitted that I'm "not the girl for her son" and that she will do anything to break us up. FML
Today, marks the sixth day in a row that my mum has called me to discuss my upcoming wedding. She's obsessed and has intimidated the actual planner I hired into going along with her plans. She's slipped up twice already and accidentally referred to it as her own wedding. Just great. FML
Today, six weeks before my wedding, my mother decided to claim that she never agreed on paying for it and that she doesn't think she will. Now I have six weeks to scavenge enough cash for the wedding she planned in the first place. 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, a week after my fiancé and I got engaged, his mother is already complaining that she isn't involved enough in the wedding arrangements. We haven't even set a date yet. FML
Today, I found out my daughter was planning a wedding and invited everyone but me. FML
Today, I'm getting married. A few months ago, I allowed my mother in-law to take care of catering. She begged to be a part of the wedding, so I gave her the caterer's number and order info. It appears that I will not be eating at my own wedding because she decided to order food I'm allergic to. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Have a smaller wedding and tell her that you can't accept her help if it's conditional. This isn't the way to start a marriage, with her asserting her authority over your decisions.

That movie sucked. Super sucked. Now as for the FML. Hey....here's an idea. Earn your money for your own wedding or sacrifice having something lavish and just pay for it YOURSELVES. If your mother-in-law thinks just because she is paying for a portion, that she can have her own input...maybe she should go throw a wedding for herself? Its your day, definitely not hers. Tell her so. No effing way this could work out fine unless you two agree on many things in other situations and have similar tastes! But I doubt this would be FML if that was the case.

If she is paying, it's her ******* choice. If you don't want her to have her way then she won't pay, simple as that. Would you put money into something wanting absolutely no authority at all? Didn't think so.
Puppyface171 0
@72 And it's the MOTHER-IN-LAW'S money. Technically, OP doesn't even have a say unless she spends her own money.
forgettingsunday 0
kritzo- the parents traditionally pay for the wedding. and in case you didn't realize but getting money for a wedding that's probably happening in the very near future is almost impossible, unless you want to be married in a barn and your honey moon is staying at your parent's house while they're out of town for the weekend. dip shit.
shakethat 10
tradition? it's 2011 most people don't follow traditions anymore. I agree that op should pay for their own wedding if they don't want anyone budding in.
RealChinese 7
@ 109 it's hard to come up with a wedding money but if you were planning on having a wedding you should of been saving, you shouldn't have been spontaneously marrying someone in the first place without money because this is a "commitment" or it'll end up as a divorce because they "loved each other"

Well the choice is still yours.. Either make all your own choices with your own money, or get the wedding paid for free and clear. This FML is weak, you whiney bitch.

lol #171 what #138 is saying is that no one noticed that she typed bicth and not bitch
ChibiChibi_fml 28
Autoshot, "putting money into the wedding" does not mean that they are getting the wedding paid for free and clear. That means that the Future mother-in-law is just contributing money to the wedding fund. The OP and his/her fiance are most likely still paying for a good deal of the wedding themselves.
Autoshot 9
Noone would demand control of the arrangements without putting most of the money in.

@forgettingsunday Uhm yeah...and it's still the early 1900's. Women can't vote nor do they hold down stable jobs, eh? You've got to be effing kidding me! Are you this DENSE at all times? Me and my hubby paid for our wedding with 300+ guests, a RECEPTION also A-N-D half of our honeymoon with less than a year to plan. It CAN be done, you've got to be a complete ******* 'DIP SHIT' to not understand the concept. ******* dumbass.

Miss 61, I have three loaded pistols and one "gun" close to hand. Which one you wanna hold? The .22cal, .25cal, and 9mm pistols are free. But I charge for Mr. Happy, the Ol' lady insists that he brings in money, business only, not for fun.

Nice, but I've got a .45 ACP, 40. S&W, .38 Special, .44 Mag, 357. Mag, a .22 LR and a 12 gauge all within reach, also I was pretty much born with a six shooter in my hand. :)

^ this. If your future M-I-L is going to pull this mess, then she needs to be stopped. Now. It won't get any better if you don't.

Although maybe OP can't elope. in other words, cantaloupe.
TheRealLori 0
Tell her to keep her cash and elope. If she's like this now, it WILL get worse exponentially, very quickly! Put her in her place NOW.

agreed!!!!! plus... what does ur fiance say about it?!!
ImaginaryFoe 1
If you two don't care at all about the wedding arrangements you could go along with her and tell her you're just doing it to make her happy. With the way she phrased it though, I wouldn't want to take the offer at all. It is your life and your wedding, not hers. If you don't assert yourself now, it will just get harder. I would tell her "No, thank you", save up for a great honeymoon, and elope. Let her know, together, that her domineering attitude will not be tolerated but that she is welcome in your home without it. You'll be family soon.
LadyClarik 8
Thank you, Imaginary! Finally a level headed opinion. Yes, OP it is "your" wedding but as long as she is helping financially she should be allowed some input. If you don't want her involvement, don't take her money. You may end up with a smaller, more intimate wedding, but it would be all yours. Whatever you decide to do, do it respectfully. In all likelihood you'll be seeing your mother-in-law for many years to come; really what do you lose by being courteous to her?
instantmusic 4
Nothin' wrong with small weddings at all imo^^ I'd rather be economical on the wedding... ... then have a bomb of a honeymoon afterward.
Epic_Phale615 0
Tell her no, you're not 5. Stand up for yourself.
Dennisse_47 17
Yeah OP, you news to show your mother-in-law that this is YOUR wedding and you're gonna do it the way YOU want to do it. I mean this isn't her wedding, she needs to let her son and future daughter-in-law make their own decisions.
Bluepies 24
If they're depending on their mother-in-law to buy their shit, I'd say that resembles a five-year-old.
CoconutMuffin 5
118, what you've failed to realize is that a lot of parents tend to help out with the wedding.

Traditionally the bride's parents pay for the wedding not the in laws.
