Today, my fiancé's grandmother kept trying to introduce him to this "simply absolutely amazing girl," who she thought "would be just the perfect date" for him. At our engagement party. FML

Today, I went with my beautiful fiancée to tell her grandmother, who's a bit senile, that we got engaged. Her response, "I know he's very nice, but think about the chubby little ugly children he'll give you." This was followed by a recollection of her ex-boyfriends who would've fathered attractive kids.

Today, my girlfriend of two years finally agreed to marry me. As I went on with the proposal, her Grandma tried rejecting me by saying, "These guys have gangster friends." FML

Today, I went with my fiancé to meet his parents. He was really sweet the whole way there, and once we got there he introduced me as 'the girl I'm going to marry'. His parents took one look at me and said, "Are you sure?" I laughed, because I thought they were joking. They weren't. FML

Today, it was my wedding day. Midway through the ceremony, my grandma, who's tried to ruin every relationship to date, stood up and shouted that "it ain't right", "you're too good for her", and claimed my fiancée has been cheating on me, before she was finally ejected from the building. FML

Today, the guy I'm dating took me to a dinner party at a couple's house. Halfway through dinner, I realized they were having the dinner party for the sole purpose of introducing him to their recently single daughter. FML

Today, my fiancé's mother tried to arrange a marriage for him to a nice Indian girl, again. We've been engaged for a year, and the wedding is in a month. FML

Today, my grandmother called me in a fit of panic because her new neighbors are black. So is my fiancé, whom she is supposed to meet tomorrow. FML

Today, my fiancé, his mother, my father and I went out to celebrate my birthday and our recent engagement. After dinner, my father and future mother-in-law revealed to us that they had secretly been dating and were talking about also getting married. Anybody want cake? FML

Today, I married the man of my dreams. At the after-party, my psycho grandma stood up, called for quiet, and engaged in a long rant about how this was "the beginning of the end" and advising everyone that the secret to a successful marriage is "cheating, plain and simple". FML

Today, I invited my girlfriend over to a family lunch, planning to propose to her at just the right moment. My family was in on it, including my apparently disapproving mom, who kept causing a scene to grab my girlfriend's attention every time I went to pull out the ring. FML

The worst thing that could happen would be your fiancé listening to her. Just ignore her :p

Can people please stop making this lame comment? An elderly person being rude doesn't automatically grant you power of attorney and the ability to have him/her committed to a home. It's too cliché to be clever and it's clearly not actual advice so just leave it off.

It really makes it hard for me to go by the whole ”respect your elderly” thing when I read FML's like this...I really shouldn't want to punch an old person so bad.

Some people just never give up. And old ladies can be stubborn as hell, just try to remember she doesn't know better than you or your fiancée

Since it was an engagement party chances are this "simply absolutely amazing girl" probably wouldn't be so dumb as to follow along with the grandmother anyway. She is obviously aware your fiancé is engaged as she's at the party celebrating your engagement.

Some people just don't care about your marital/engagement status. But then again, if the woman didn't care about the fiance's marital status, that brings her status as a simply, absolutely amazing person into question...or maybe the grandma just meant "...in bed."

Sounds like Alzheimer's. Which is not funny and a very sad thing. I have lost Grandparents both sides to it. This is an FHL for Grandma IMO.

Sounds like she has Alzheimer's. You can't really blame her. My great Grandma has it. I went to her house last week, and she gave me a tour of her house. She's lived in that house for 20 years..

You now know the pitfalls of hosting your engagement party at a speed dating service.

Tell her to stop it, or get the hell out of your lives! His gma or not, your his family now... And if she has an issue with that she needn't be a part of it...
