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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, my fiancé told me he wants to buy an engagement ring for his mother, so that she doesn't feel left out. FML
Today, I went to my fiancé's mother's funeral. His step-sister proudly announced that she's pregnant with his baby and they are engaged. FML
Today, I was busy going over wedding plans with my fiancé, when my mother called. Apparently, she wants me to "drop the joke" about this "fake engagement", because she was under the impression I was only dating a white guy to piss her and dad off, and was now getting carried away with it. 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, my fiancé won't tell people we're engaged because his mother doesn't approve, and he doesn't want to upset her. FML
Today, I overheard my mom talking on the phone with my sister about how much they hate my fiancé. My wedding is in two weeks and my family has been pretending to like my future husband for three years. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed with the perfect ring, restaurant, flowers, and champagne. He’s never been this well prepared for anything in his life, so he admitted that my mother planned the whole thing and forced him to propose, even though neither of us want to get married. She even bought the ring. FML
Today, I announced my engagement. My mother's response was to freak out and demand that I postpone my wedding indefinitely. Why? My younger sister caught the bouquet at a wedding last year, so "she has to get married first!" My sister has been single for 3 years and showers once a week. 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

Arranged marriages are like STDs. You don't want to have one, get one, be involved in any way with them, and when you do get one, you'll probably be stuck with it for life

Greencards, a bigger matchmaker than eHarmony.

I'm with you on that one. One of the customers I deliver to is married to a man she has only met twice, who decided to stay in India. She sends remittances to him and works in Canada, not either of our ideas of the perfect marriage.

I got lucky. My Indian mother-in-law of only 3 months just sent me three, beautiful suits from India. But I hear some can be like this. Fyl...

wow there are a lot of really nasty racist comments. its one thing to insult the mother-in-law its another to insult her race. especially since *shocker* her fiance is also Indian.

Somebody give this guy a medal.

OP, being the one the in-laws hate sucks. But try not to put him in the middle. Ignore her. Her meddling will eventually push him away. Tell him it saddens you to know she feels that way, but never pressure him to play referee. It's very hard to be torn between your significant other and your family. Just keep in mind he was born to them, but he chose you. Speaking from experience, here.

My friends relationship was ruined this way. Do not let that "Pagal" ruin your life.

I'm glad you weren't forced into marriage either Noor, that would suck. 1 cause you would be taken and 2 because you would have no say in it and that's just wrong

My parents (Indian) have accepted the fact that I'm in love with a white girl....but it's gonna suck when the rest of the family finds out...
