when i first read this, i thought “i think she said that because she wanted to make a joke of it. the correct term is ‘we’re getting married… to each other’ ..” but then i read some of the comments… looks like most of you guys issues with MIL that’s got to be tough!

Wow, this is practically my story too. My MIL said almost the same thing, but then added, “well it will have to be a long distance engagement, because we’re moving to Florida.” She put her house on the market the very next day. Fortunately, the house took 2 years to sell, and our wedding took place before they moved. She hosted the rehearsal dinner at her home, but it was ruined because a few hours before everyone arrived she announced they had gotten rid of my future husband’s dog. She hated all animals, but especially this dog. She claimed they took it to a forest preserve and set it free, but I’ve never really been sure she didn’t have it put to sleep. All I know is that instead of spending time getting ready for our big day, we spent hours at the forest preserve and calling animal shelters trying to find his beloved dog. He was just devastated. Many years later, the dog incident was brought up by my mother-in-law’s, own mother-in-law after a few too many glasses of champagne (to celebrate the holiday). Tempers flared, my father-in-law stormed off to the airport, followed by his aging mother back to Florida. With dinner cut short, I asked my mother-in-law the next day what happened to the uncarved turkey. She said since she was returning to Florida too, she threw it over the fence to the raccoons that lived in the vacant wooded lot next to their vacation cottage… Yep, can you spell dysfunctional? My husband and I have been married 30 years and what can I say, life can be interesting…. Life is too short to hang onto resentments, so instead we look for the humor and with the passage of time can laugh at the craziness…

I can totally relate to that. My husband and I dated for a couple of years before we got married. We were over to his step-sister’s house and she mentioned that Kenneth and Jessica are over visiting. Her mother’s reply, “Who?” “You know your daughter in law!?” “I thought her name was Ashley!” Really?

i’m glad she asked, “To Whom?” and not “To Who” because that would just be grammatically incorrect

I feel so bad for you dear, my fiancee I just announced my engagement to my future MIL and she was ecstatic about her son being married. She then brought me into a spare bedroom and gave me a purse, all the while asking me if there was going to be “another Doctor Who wedding”…

Sounds familiar! On Christmas Day a few years ago my sister was discussing her upcoming nuptuals to her boyfriend of several years when my dad asked her the same question. She didn’t talk to him for a while after that, but he did make it to the wedding.
