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 sent me a birthday present. It was a necklace for me to wear at my wedding. The pendant is a well known lesbian symbol. I'm a woman and I'm marrying her son. FML

Today, my girlfriend and I were being driven home from our date by her mother. She's Jewish and I'm Catholic. Her mother was talking about how my girlfriend was going on a trip to Jerusalem that summer. She finished with "And you can find a nice Jewish boy while you're there." FML

Today, I decorated my boyfriend's house for Christmas as a surprise, just in time for him and his family to come home. Also just in time for him to tell me he's Jewish. FML

Welcome…
Today, I met my mother's deeply religious fiancé for the first time. His response upon seeing me was to look me square in the eye and say, "You'll need to take out that nose stud or I'm afraid you'll not be welcome in our home." FML

Pranking hell!
Today, I got married. I'm Jewish, and it's traditional to break a glass cup by stepping on it after giving the bride her ring. My brother thought it would be funny to replace the glass cup with a rubber one. I slipped and fell flat on my back. FML

Today, I found out my boyfriend was going to propose. He'd bought me a beautiful white gold ring that I never got to see. His estranged mom stole the ring. FML

maybe it was a (bad) mistake? or maybe she didn't intend the cross to mean anything, just looks nice?

Jewish people can't wear cross necklaces?

They don't believe the saviour (Like Christian Jesus) has come.

I'm sure you will go up in flames if you wear it ... If you are marrying a christian man, why even get all worked up about such minor details?

I don't think OP is "worked up". She did describe the necklace as "beautiful" after all. But it is kind of embarrassing (for lack of a better word) to have your future in-law not know your religious beliefs. :)

I saw that. But posting that here as an FML kind of suggests that she's upset about it. Maybe mom in law has an agenda. If OP is marrying a christian man, maybe mom in law was doing that, to welcome her into the family and community. The FML tells me OP's not willing to integrate.

Well your people killed Jesus so wearing the necklace will be a way to say that you are sorry for you ancestors.

You should wear it to show that you are sorry for your ancestors' sin.
