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

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.

If you let her take control now, you relinquish it forever. Tell her you appreciate tue gesture but this is your big day and you two are planning it. If you want to be nice, you could offer her to handle one particular aspect you're not too picky on whether it's the reception, caterer, flowers, etc so she feels involved.

Don't take that bitches money! If you do, you will have it thrown into your face for the rest of your life, and to top it off, you will be having 'her' wedding, not yours. It's not worth that kind of shit to have a wedding. Go to the JP and don't tell her about it till it's done.

I have to agree with some of the other comments, refuse her money and just have a smaller wedding than you originally planned or elope. It may not be exactly what you want but let's be honest, if she plans it, than it is likely that it still won't be what you want. If she gets mad at your refusal just tell her that it is not her wedding and that you and your fiance' want to do things your own way. If she's so desperate to plan a wedding she can just have her own ceremony.

just get your future wife to talk to her mom about. no one messes with bridezillas authority or heads get ripped off. not saying all girls are like that its just their special moment.

What if the FML was submitted by the future bride and not the future groom?

Because it's custom that the brides parents usually pay for the majority of the wedding.

That may be the custom but that doesn't guarantee that is what is happening in this particular situation.

I figured that the OP was the bride because it is pretty much a major FML if her MIL is insisting on doing everything. Also the OP said the MIL is putting money towards the wedding not paying for the entire thing. I know lots of people who had both sides of the family chip in on their wedding.

WTF is with giant weddings? Save your money so you can afford the divorce later.

1. Not everyone gets divorced and 2. Even a small wedding can cost a fortune.

aaand... something like 50% of marriages end in divorce. be reasonable. mooned gonna notice that you spent $1000+ on centerpieces. save the money for marriage, not just the wedding.

If and when I get married, screw the funeral march. I want the corpse bride songs played out on a synth, bass guitar, and some heavy drumming.

Have fun with your happy relationship! Your mother-in-law very delightful! :D

That's just the beginning. You need to run away from that Mama's Boy, or get him to cut the apron strings, so you can rule him with your pussy whip.
