Today, I was busy going over wedding plans with my fiancé, when my mother called. Apparently, she wants me to "drop the joke" about this "fake engagement", because she was under the impression I was only dating a white guy to piss her and dad off, and was now getting carried away with it. 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, my fiancé won't tell people we're engaged because his mother doesn't approve, and he doesn't want to upset her. FML

Plot twist

Today, I overheard my mom talking on the phone with my sister about how much they hate my fiancé. My wedding is in two weeks and my family has been pretending to like my future husband for three years. FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed with the perfect ring, restaurant, flowers, and champagne. He’s never been this well prepared for anything in his life, so he admitted that my mother planned the whole thing and forced him to propose, even though neither of us want to get married. She even bought the ring. FML

Today, I announced my engagement. My mother's response was to freak out and demand that I postpone my wedding indefinitely. Why? My younger sister caught the bouquet at a wedding last year, so "she has to get married first!" My sister has been single for 3 years and showers once a week. FML

Today, I found out that my fiancé's sister, who only got engaged a couple of months ago, is getting married before us. I wouldn't have a problem with this if she wasn't planning her wedding to be exactly like ours will be. FML

Well, that's how a lot of Indian parents are. It's their tradition to have arranged marriages. It sucks that they are doing that, but hopefully they'll come around. Try to put yourself in their shoes. It's not easy to accept when your children go against traditions that most people still follow in the culture today.

Unfortunately some Asians are still into this kind of stuff. Thank God my parents aren't! Don't worry about your mother in law. It's just you and your fiancee that matter. Good luck, OP!

My mother kept trying to hook me up when I was single. I've been engaged for five months now and she's still trying to play the dating game for me. It's a pain in the ass! Some mothers can't ever be happy. Fyl, OP.

Maybe you should have married a nice white Australian man. Never mind, we don't need weak genes like yours in our gene pool

You DO realize the word fiancée is used incorrectly, right? Fiancé is the man, fiancée is the WOMAN.

Every parent wants the best for the kids same way mother-in-law wants what's best for her son prove to her that you are the best and you won't have any problem.
