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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I flew home to visit my parents. We haven't seen each other in two years, I've gotten a few tattoos done since, and I knew they wouldn't approve, so I bought whole new outfits that covered everything and looked professional. When I got there, the first thing my mom says to me is, "Is that a nose ring!?" FML
Today, while having dinner with my girlfriend's very religious parents, her mother called me a heathen and said she'd convert me one day. She wasn't kidding. FML
Today, I mustered up the courage to visit my estranged mega fundamentalist father to hopefully mend our relationship. The first thing he did was insult me for not having a beard, and call my wife and daughters whores because they weren't wearing long skirts or dresses. FML
Today, my mom got drunk and started crying at my after-wedding party, after promising she'd behave herself. She thinks my husband is an awful person who'll drag me into a life of sin, all because he has a tattoo and an ear piercing. FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's mom for the first time. I introduced myself and went to shake her hand. She looked me up and down and said, "I don't shake hands with whores." FML
Today, my stepfather-to-be yelled at me, insisting I take my nose piercing out, because it will "ruin the wedding photos" since I'm a bridesmaid. It's a tiny diamante stud, no bigger than a small pinhead. He then went on a rant about how I need to respect his authority in the family. I'm 25. FML
Today, my fiancé's mother gave me a beautiful cross necklace to wear for my wedding. I'm Jewish. FML
Today, my mother, her fiancé, and I were having dinner together. My mother was joking that she wasn't sure she could hold him down, as he used to "get around." She turned to talk to the waiter and my future step-father looked me up and down and winked. FML
Today, I met my biological mother for the first time. I also found out from her husband that she has her nipples and nether regions pierced. FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. His mom stared at me throughout dinner before finally blurting out, "I'm sorry, I can't get past the fact that you look just like his ex!" It turns out I do. FML

I don't see what your nose stud has to do with religion, this guy sounds like a bit of an ass!

You're a far better person than I... I wouldve jacked that @$$hole and my mom wouldn't expect anything less...

My ex had a similar problem, she wanted to get hers pierced, here dad said "no" cause it's not in the bible. I don't know what bible verse it is, but there is one speaking of Mary or perhaps just females in general with nose studs. Fine it and throw it in his face! :)

Does his god hate piercings? I don't remember anything about that?

I'm pretty sure daughter trumps rude fiancé. He's not her dad and shouldn't have any right whatsoever to talk to her like that. Assuming that she's grown and has already moved out, this is just some guy her mom married. As unimportant as that second cousin that you've only met twice.

I would have looked my mum square in the eye and said, 'wow, he's a keeper.' But then I'm lucky, because my mum would never stand for that kind of bullshit.

How terrible. :( I can't stand religious fundamentalists. Here's hoping your mom chooses you over the nutjob.
