Today, my mom informed me that she wouldn't be joining the rest of the girls in the limo ride to the church for my wedding ceremony because she wants to have her car with her. Why? Because she is planning to leave my wedding reception half way through to go home and take her dog out to pee. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got a phone call saying I was no longer a bridesmaid for a wedding in June. It's my mom's 4th wedding. I'm getting replaced by our dog. FML
Today, I asked my fiancee to drive me to the airport for a business trip in a few days. She ranted angrily that she already had plans, so I asked my mom to take me instead. Now she's pissed and saying, "Why don't you just go marry your mommy, since she does everything for you?" FML
Today, my father-in-law left my wedding reception because he had to feed the dog. This would have been alright, if he hadn't been absent for nearly two hours. Apparently, just feeding the dog and leaving would have hurt the animal's feelings so he stayed to play with him for a while. FML
Today, my mother-in-law "borrowed" my dog without asking, to show him off to her friends. My dog is my service animal, and I'm not comfortable leaving the house without him. I have to be at work in an hour, and she's not picking up her phone. FML
Today, my mother locked me out of the house. Why? The dog and her needed some time to talk. FML
Today, my wife is refusing to go on our honeymoon because the resort we chose won’t allow pets. She’s now angry with me for not checking before we booked the place, and is threatening divorce if I go without her. I told her we could just get a dog sitter, but she refuses. Oh well. FML
Today, my mom's dog bit my dad's girlfriend in the face. At my wedding. We did not know she was bringing her dog. FML
Today, my insane mother struck again. She refused to drive me to my doctor’s appointment for my asthma because the office won’t let her bring her precious doggo inside and it’s too cold to sit in the car with it. No, she won’t leave it at home like a normal person, and no it’s not a service dog. FML
Today, the same manager who wrote me up for missing work when my mom had had a stroke, thought it was perfectly acceptable to announce she was leaving work 6 hours early to take her dogs to the groomers. Apparently, that appointment was more urgent than me riding in an ambulance with my mother. FML
Today, my parents asked me if I would dog-sit for them while they go to my ex's wedding. FML

#2 I'd think that her daughter's wedding is more important than this. If the dog is so important, she should have made plans for someone else to watch the dog that day so she could be there the whole time to support her daughter.

I agree with #13. What's the big deal? Jesus she's not SKIPPING the whole freaking wedding here, there is nothing wrong with going home real quick to let the dog out so he/she doesn't pee all over the house. OP you might need to be less of a Bridezilla.

Rescinding her invitation to your wedding would obviously give her more time to spend with her precious dog; why don't you just do that?

Uh...I fail to see how this is a big deal. It would be one thing if she's leaving the ACTUAL WEDDING CEREMONY to let the dog out, but what's the problem with her leaving the RECEPTION for a while? Someone who makes that big of a deal over her mother missing some of the reception isn't mature enough to get married, in my opinion. Grow up, you baby.

learn to lie the limo ride doesnt have anything to do with how early she would have to leave

I kind of agree with a lot of the people here, at least it's just the reception and she's letting the dog out to pee, meaning she'll be back. Suck it up, people have responsibilities and things to do besides you. Just because it's your wedding doesn't mean your mom should have to come home and clean up dog waste when she could leave the reception for 10 minutes to take the dog out.

Maybe the dog is one of those dogs who only lets certain people near it, some dogs are that fussy, I've seen on a dog show once this dog that would only let the mother of the family take it out, anyone else it snapped at, even the woman's husband, maybe her Mum has a dog like that, in which case no one else could let it out (it's a long shot, but I have seen it before)

Wow. This has got to be the stupidest FML ever. Big deal, it's only the reception. But why is she keeping the dog locked up in the house all day? That's kinda cruel. Can't she just get someone to look after it if it's causing such a big problem?

Why is this a big deal? The dog needs to pee and to expect anything else makes you seem like a bitch, not your mother.

I agree with #2 Get over yourself. Just because you're getting married doesn't mean that people should be cruel to their animals. I honestly can't believe anyone was dumb enough to marry you. Bitch.

I can't believe how much debate is going on here! For many woman this IS a start to a new life. Weddings isn't just, hey we live and **** together now, it's a whole bunch of compromises

I can't believe how much debate is going on here! For many woman this IS the most important part of their life. A start to a new life. Weddings isn't just, hey we live and **** together now, it's a whole bunch of compromises that in the end, the woman usually gets screwed if it doesn't work out, (with most woman being the caretaker and losing most of there work hours and all). And to expect your mother to be there for the entire whole celebration of her daughter being "taken away" is not to much to ask. Sorry animal lovers, a pet should not over rank a human. Get some social skills please.
