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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my grandmother tried to upstage me at my wedding by wearing an actual wedding dress because she "never had a real wedding". 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, 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, my ex-fiancé married the woman he cheated on me with. Their wedding was an exact replica of how I had planned mine to be, decorations, colors, cake, etc. Oh, and she also copied the dress I'd said yes to. FML
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 best friend informed me that I could not be her maid of honour because I "wasn't as pretty as the other bridesmaids" and she wanted her wedding photos to have "consistency". FML
Today, I congratulated a bride standing in front of a church in a white dress. Turns out she'd been stood up at the altar. She thrashed me with her bouquet. FML
Today, I found out that my fiancé's sister, who only got engaged a couple of months ago, is getting married before us. I wouldn't have a problem with this if she wasn't planning her wedding to be exactly like ours will be. FML
Today, my mother beamingly asked for my opinion on her wedding dress. She is engaged to her cousin. Conveniently, they already have the same last name. FML
Today, I met my future mother-in-law. All went well; she complimented my dress, and I complimented her haircut. Then she and her son had a screaming match over how our children will be fat because of their mother. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

She also forgot to mention that you're not allowed to invite your future mother-in-law to the wedding. That'd be copying her too.

Op should have told her mother-in-law that she would not be copying her, she would be having a traditional wedding

I hate people who are retarded like that. Show her pics of people who got married before her,then ask why she copied all of those people. I'm sorry you are going to have a dumb mother-in-law op. Best wishes to you.

To earn brownie points (if that's even possible, sounds like a lost cause here) OP should have said something about how she only wanted to copy her because she admired her so much.

Yup I agree :3

What is she, a second grader? "Waaahhh! Teacher! Teacher! She's copying my work!!!" Do what you want OP, she can't dictate how your wedding should be, after all, she's not the one getting married. If she still doesn't like, don't invite her. She'll have only brought it upon herself.

sorry op, she sounds retarded... I'm worried that she's going to give you a hard time after the marriage. make sure she does not come to live with you guys.

Give her a seat at the back of the church OP! Have you ever watched everybody loves Raymond?

Ouch, what a bitch. Sorry, op
Llamacod 11
uh, #116, are you suggesting that op's future mother in law married her own son? because that would be how op would be copying her. I think you need to look up the definition of copying.

It's your wedding OP. do it your way!

Seriously... I mean does she not know what a wedding is? They almost always take place in a church, with roses, and a while dress... What does she expect you to do?

it's your wedding, your allowed to have it however you want. it's your day not hers, enjoy it.

She is trying to show you who is the boss. If you do as she tells you this early in the relationship, she will always treat you like shit and will always be trying to take you over. Stand up to her. Put her in her place & hopefully she will see you aren't a pushover.

Ignor her, your wedding is going to be one of the best days of your life, it's supposed to be special, don't let her ruin that for you.

Dont listen, do what you want
TourettesGuyFTW 26
Exactly. And seeing as it's already been done, tell her she can't wear clothes or make-up to the wedding. Then have the Gorgon evicted by security on the day.

Has she learned nothing from PewDiePie's video? Sheesh...

What? This has nothing to do with pewdiepie.

I think she's referring to the one that says him, nova, and Toby don't give a shit if they're copying. They're just trying to get their subs to stop saying they're copying.

Her future mother in law invited herself to her own wedding?
anencephalic 14
No, 82, but presumably OP's boyfriend's mother invited her husband's (OP's boyfriend's father) mother to their wedding (OP's boyfriend's mother and father's wedding, that is), get it?
oneforceone 8
Oh, I would just invite the same people to piss her off.

Plot twist: she didn't invite her mother in-law.

She's either stupid enough to think she's the first one to wear white at a wedding, or ancient enough to BE the first to wear white at a wedding.
