Today, my fiancé's grandmother kept trying to introduce him to this "simply absolutely amazing girl," who she thought "would be just the perfect date" for him. At our engagement party. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went with my beautiful fiancée to tell her grandmother, who's a bit senile, that we got engaged. Her response, "I know he's very nice, but think about the chubby little ugly children he'll give you." This was followed by a recollection of her ex-boyfriends who would've fathered attractive kids. FML
Today, my girlfriend of two years finally agreed to marry me. As I went on with the proposal, her Grandma tried rejecting me by saying, "These guys have gangster friends." FML
Today, I went with my fiancé to meet his parents. He was really sweet the whole way there, and once we got there he introduced me as "he girl I'm going to marry." His parents took one look at me and said, "Are you sure?" I laughed, because I thought they were joking. They weren't. FML
Today, it was my wedding day. Midway through the ceremony, my grandma, who's tried to ruin every relationship to date, stood up and shouted that "it ain't right", "you're too good for her", and claimed my fiancée has been cheating on me, before she was finally ejected from the building. FML
Today, the guy I'm dating took me to a dinner party at a couple's house. Halfway through dinner, I realized they were having the dinner party for the sole purpose of introducing him to their recently single daughter. FML
Today, my fiancé's mother tried to arrange a marriage for him to a nice Indian girl, again. We've been engaged for a year, and the wedding is in a month. FML
Today, my grandmother called me in a fit of panic because her new neighbors are black. So is my fiancé, whom she is supposed to meet tomorrow. FML
Today, my fiancé, his mother, my father and I went out to celebrate my birthday and our recent engagement. After dinner, my father and future mother-in-law revealed to us that they had secretly been dating and were talking about also getting married. Anybody want cake? FML
Today, I married the man of my dreams. At the after-party, my psycho grandma stood up, called for quiet, and engaged in a long rant about how this was "the beginning of the end" and advising everyone that the secret to a successful marriage is "cheating, plain and simple". FML
Today, I invited my girlfriend over to a family lunch, planning to propose to her at just the right moment. My family was in on it, including my apparently disapproving mom, who kept causing a scene to grab my girlfriend's attention every time I went to pull out the ring. FML

The worst thing that could happen would be your fiancé listening to her. Just ignore her :p

I'm pretty sure OP's fiancés grandmother was only being nice (: It's not a big deal

How is trying to introduce OP's fiancé to other girls in an obvious and probably futile attempt to end the engagement "nice", exactly?

What's a "simply absolutely girl"? I feel like a word was missed lol. Anyways, that still blows. FYL

Make sure when you give her grandkids that you wind them up on sugar before you send them to grammy's house

The OP is already ******* her grandkid. You mean she should give her hopped-up great-grandkids! Didn't mean to go all Genealogy Nazi on you (That's a Grammar Nazi, once removed.)

Old people forget stuff. But what sucks is that no one around them that's family wants to see the change.

I wouldn't worry, she's a old.. I think that's excuse enough.
GothicAngel17 24
Unless she's got Alzheimer's being "old" is no excuse for being downright rude.

Or dementia

So are we just supposed to let every elderly person off the hook for rude things they say just because they're old? Just because they're old doesn't make it an excuse to let them get by with everything. If an old man robbed a bank, would the police say "Oh, we'll let him get by with it, he's just old." I don't think so. :P

Dementia is the same thing.

Not quite, 63. My grandmother has dementia, but it's not Alzheimer's. They're similar, but still two different things.

Oh gosh. It was just sarcasm.... Clearly an epic fail though hahah

Tell the grandma you found an *amazing* retirement home.

How did your fiancé handle the situation? Who cares what his crazy grandmother wanted? If your fiancé showed respect towards you and told her, "Not interested, Nana." That is what matters.(:

What is your cat looking at?

I can't imagine what she'd do at your wedding.

Probably get trashed and deliver an awesome toast.

But then it wouldn't be on FML for all of us to enjoy.

Hopefully his grandmother will one day see how amazing you are for him!
