Today, my mother excitedly jumped up and down, announcing that one of her sweet younger coworkers got engaged. I wished she'd had the same reaction to my engagement when I announced it to her a few days earlier. FML

Today, I told my mother I got engaged. Her reply was a great heaving sigh, followed by ,"OK… So how's work going?" She showed more excitement last week when my brother managed to properly make Kraft macaroni. FML

Today, I decided I would tell my mom I'm not going to marry my fiancé because it just didn't feel right, only to walk into my own surprise engagement party. FML

Today, I discovered that my father is getting married. Overjoyed and confused because I didn't know he was dating, I called him up to congratulate him, and ask who she was. Apparently, his soon to be fiancée is my mother-in-law. My wife is not happy. FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. Everything was going perfectly, right up until he brought me back to his house to tell his family the good news. When I excused myself to the restroom, I overheard his mom say, "I thought you were going to break up with that stupid slut?" Welcome to the family. FML

Well hey that's alright. If she isn't excited then she doesn't have to be invited to the wedding. It doesn't matter what she thinks as long as you're happy! Congratulations OP and here's to your future with your future husband!

This reminds me of John Wick. Best "Oh" in movie history.

Were you two together for a long time before he proposed? I ask because it becomes apparent after long enough that an engagement is inevitable, making it only a matter of time

This happened to me too. My mom hates my fiancé but my dad likes him. The important thing is that you're both happy though, and that it's a healthy relationship.
