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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 father-in-law decided he was going to just completely take over our engagement party, so now my fiancé just wants to go to Reno and get married there. 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, 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, 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, my fiancé suggested we bring his elderly mother with us on our honeymoon. 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 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, 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
Today, my fiancée decided to go on a "vacation." Our wedding is tomorrow. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's actually awful! Don't let that happen! It's you and your spouses to be day and she's just trying to live vicariously through you both. Don't let her ruin your special day!

You better put her in her place and set boundaries before she gets much worse.

In most relationships the male pushes for sexual intercourse AKA defiling her son

My mother told me before I got married that I wasn't just marrying him, I was marrying his family. Stupid, typical me thought "he isn't a mama's boy, sure they're nuts but he's different. He'll stick up for me and we'll be fine!" Current me says "wow divorces are expensive, how did I not see that he would have a ton of issues from growing up around that?" I'm not saying call it off, but perhaps some premarital counseling would be a good idea.

I think we can all agree that you need to put your foot down, AND that you need to update us.

"Defile"? By her definition, that's probably the only thing a honeymoon is about.

It's your wedding, YOU and your fiance should be the ones who decides not your mother in law to be or anyone else! I'd tell her to go and get ******! You have to get your fiance in on this to support you,otherwise your marriage from this day on will be ******. With a mother in law like this,you'll have a ******* miserable marriage. Why some mother in laws can be such bitches,I have no idea. If your fiance is on her side,you will live a very unhappy life.

IMO, you should tell her to cut that shit, or if she doesn't, threaten to disinvite her from the wedding.

But isn't that kinda the point of the honeymoon?

When you marry someone, in a sense you marry their whole family. If he isn't standing up for you, get out now.
