Today, I received yet another letter from a relative bitching me out for not involving my parents in my wedding. The parents who showed no interest in our relationship and then yelled at my fiancé and me when we announced it to them, calling us stupid, naive, heathens, and mentally ill. FML

Today, I called my mom to make sure she could attend on the wedding day my fiancé and I had discussed. She started off with criticizing the venue we considered, then went on to criticize my fiancé, and then stated she would under no circumstances help out, but demanded to pick my wedding dress. FML

Today, it seems my mom didn’t believe me when I told her multiple times I was not going to my nasty bitch sister's wedding. Then she acted surprised and outraged when, shocker, I didn’t go, and has been leaving me texts and voicemails for over an hour. FML

Today, my husband and I came clean to his overbearing parents about our private wedding. It started with them accusing him of making rash decisions, and somehow descended into an argument amongst themselves that ended with his mom deciding to divorce his dad. FML

Today, I found out that my fiancé's parents are refusing to pay for a honeymoon, because they "didn't have one, so neither will we", meaning they won't pay for a single thing for our wedding. FML

Today, I learned that if you complain to your mom about your future mother-in-law's bitchiness, your overprotective mom might confront her about it and end up punching her in the face. My fiancée blames me for the incident. FML

Did your parents really expect to be invited after that? They might be your parents but doesn't mean you have to accept that behavior at your wedding.

In that case I'd un-invite your entire family if they're going to act like that.

God forbid you announce your first child to them if they insulted the engagement.

I had the same experience. 10+ years on they wonder why even though I'm pleasant to them, I only share the basics that they can't criticise me any more. I stayed me. I never shouted back, I was never rude and I put up with their nasty comments while they bitched about me to everyone. Convinced my marriage would not last to someone so boring they did not come to my wedding. Only one family member did. I'm still happily married. We are all different, stay you and good luck.

FYL! That sounds exactly like my soon to be in laws when we announced our engagement! Hopefully things get better, weddings are stressful enough!

You deserve to be happy on your wedding day. If your relatives won't understand that then they don't deserve to see you so happy.

Just respect the fact that they raised you, majority parents are not good but they are "OUR" parents afterall.
