“It’s my ex-MIL, but at my first wedding she did multiple mean things. But still, I didn’t comment on it (even though my ex agreed it was highly inappropriate). Her whole family always showed up to weddings in black, so it’s nice for her to stand out. I refused to show the dress until that day.”
“She also wanted to decorate our cake topper, which I didn’t want because it looked cheesy, but unless she used flowers for the beautiful Lennox creations I chose, I would agreed. Of course, she glued lots of flowers to it, just like the glasses she bought us, and paraded them around my bridal shower. However, I ripped off the flowers and told her that when she confronted me about it, I specifically asked her not to, and she said she didn’t care. Finally, she got mad at us because we wanted to pay for the favors ourselves (she paid for his brother’s wedding favors, and for that reason, she asked them to pay for their She didn’t let me choose a favor), so we decided to pay ourselves. She was upset about this. I brought the bowls to the wedding, filled them with almonds, and handed them out personally at cocktail hour. “
