Today, I was talking to my future mother-in-law about my upcoming wedding. She told me that I wasn't allowed to have the wedding at a church, nor wear a white dress, nor have roses for flowers, because that would mean I'd be "copying" her. FML

She also forgot to mention that you're not allowed to invite your future mother-in-law to the wedding. That'd be copying her too.

wow. sheesh. something tells me she might not approve of you marrying her son. not your fault though, OP. FYL!

How can you be copying her? Aren't all weddings the same for the most part?

Tell her to **** off cause those are all traditional at weddings and your wedding is about you and your groom to be so really she has no right to tell what to do on you day.

Say she copied other people's weddings.

So get married in a castle, wear an ivory dress and have tulips... then tell her where she can ram it.

Thank you for that! First comment to really make me laugh in a while! :)

I wonder if she's even aware that her personal unique precious wedding is actually the main tradition. Hmmm.... I wonder if her husband's mother was honored in any way at her own ceremony. Best not copy that either. ;)

Good thing I'm not keen on a church setting myself! Horseback wedding actually! Hey, I've seen a skydiving and scuba diving wedding.

Well unless she's paying, she shouldn't really have much of a say so, even if she is paying that is still outrages.

*outrageous. outrages is when someone makes you upset. As in "Honey, your bitch of a mom said I can't have a white dress, roses or a church wedding, that really *out rages* me, I think she is being outrageous"

Those are all the wedding clichés, you'd be copying billions of women. Now, if she got married in a working slaughterhouse, wore a bathysphere as a wedding dress and used tied-up bunches of coral and corn snakes as flowers, she could patent that shit and prevent you from copying it. You probably ought to bang your future father-in-law just for spite.

having sex nope not allowed. She'd still be copying her.

#87, the irony of my proposal is that while the OP is forbidding copying her in trivial ways, she could copy her in a devastating way. That's the spite part.

Tell her not to worry. You plan for an orgy, no clothes allowed.
