Today, my soon to be mother-in-law sent out the invitations she made for my wedding. On them, it says "You are invited to this 'special' event". In the same way, I'm referred to as "special", and my name is misspelled. Hint taken, you bitch. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got an invitation in the mail for my dad's third wedding. My first name was misspelled on the envelope. FML
Today, my mother-in-law texted to wish me a happy birthday. She spelled my name wrong and it's not my birthday. FML
Today, it was my wedding day. When my soon-to-be-husband was saying his vows, he didn't say my name. He said his mother's. 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, my wife made me go with her to dinner with her parents, despite their long-standing hatred of me. Later on, my mother-in-law muttered to me, "I made yours special for ya", smirked, then made a show of scratching at her butt-crack. FML
Today, despite checking, double-checking, and triple-checking before we sent them to every member of our friends and family, some who live in foreign countries, our wedding invitations somehow had not one, but two spelling mistakes. They misspelled my surname and the address of the church. FML
Today, my future sister-in-law cancelled my invitation to her and my brother's wedding. Her reason was that I was incredibly rude to announce my pregnancy to my family at a time like this, because it took all the attention away from her. FML
Today, I drove 2 hours to my sister's wedding, only to find out my invitation was sent to me by mistake. She had me kicked out. FML
Today, I realized that both my husband and son refer to me as "the bitch." FML
Today, it was my wedding day. Everything went great, except that no one showed up. Apparently, the address of the invitation was typed wrong. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

She seems 'special' in her own little ways, too.

She's drawn first blood in this war of several decades.

Ooh, I'd un-invite her so quick...

On the upside, she's making herself look like a total asshole...it says more about her than it does you. That's low and pretty damn pathetic.

it would be wise to move very far away to avoid contact with her add much as possible.

You mean "mistake".

I don't think referring to the bride as 'special' and misspelling her name was on accident

How do you accidentally call someone 'special'?

#9: You mean the groom ;)

Like #9, I too thought OP was the bride without looking...

@#2 what kind of mother spells her own daughter's name wrong and "accidentally" put "special"
Nymeria_fml 25
58, the kind who is not really the mother, but actually the soon-to-be mother-in-law.

There's a reason they're referred to as "monster-in-laws" hahaha

Is your husband going to do something about this..? It is HIS bitchy mother...
soullyfe 33
More like the bride needs to do something. OP is the groom.
alligator729 15
Well shit, this is true. I wonder why the hell the bride let that happen then.

Or it could be a gay wedding so you could be right all along.

i'm surprised you even trusted your mother-in-law with that

Maybe she just insisted and OP had to give in.
CliffyB03 28
I'm gonna go ahead and say it's your fault. If you knew she didn't like you, why put her in charge of something special like that?
rocker_chick23 27
OP's future wife probably let her do the invitations. The OP doesn't deserve any of this.

Maybe he thought including her in the wedding preparations would help her warm up to him, or maybe he just had no idea how juvenile she was going to act.

In charge of something "Special"?

For some reason I thought of that scene from My Big Fat Greek Wedding when Tula's mom spells the mother in law's name Harry instead of Harriet on the invitations. This is why the husband and bride should look over the invitations before ordering them.

What's your fiancé doing about this?

Well, that's a pretty low strike.
