Best and worst - Dating, Wedding, In-Laws, etc

I didn't get my big fancy wedding but I have a great marriage!
We were planning the "big one" but my parents (divorced) and his parents couldn't decide who was going to pay for what, they style it should be ( Mexican or more traditional) and we had a whole slew of crazy people trying to tell us how to do it.
We finally got frustrated enough and found a little wedding chapel close by and we got married on a Wednesday afternoon with less than 20 people there.
We're still going strong after 3 years dating and 7 years of marriage!!!

Lucky, huh???? I could sing back, "Luck be a lady" but since mholmes is involved, that wouldn't work.

Is this what happens when all of the MFP men run away...:laugh:

I'm pretty sure I have the worst mother in law. Thank the Lord, I haven't seen her since Christmas. I know it sounds bad,but where do I start. She came to my house a yelling at me in front of my kids, and telling me she was going to kick my a**. She is a real treat. She told my husband that we need to get a divorce so she can have the kids every other weekend. Needless to say I told my husband that I (and the kids) would never go to her house again. She is so evil :mad: No one in my husbands family communicate on anything. For example in Oct. my husbands brother is getting married and my oldest son is going to be in the wedding. Well no one has even said anything to me yet. My sister-in-law called me to he daughter would be walking down the isle with my son. I tell you what this is the most screwed up family that I have ever seen. I was raised totally different. My family always talked about everything and his family holds everything in. :explode:

So for the majority I love my husbands family. They are super sweet and very supportive. The only time I've really gone off was just before our wedding. We'd changed our plans over and over and no one was happy. His family wanted some hoity-toity ta'do but they didn't want to pay for it, and my family couldn't afford it. (we finally broke down and said its our way or the highway) ..but this is the story that sets it all off.

We were to have our wedding, simple and beautiful, tented in his mothers back yard in Orlando, over looking a small man made lake. It was supposed to be low key. Christmas lights strung over the top tent poles for soft lighting. Family bringing covered dish type food. Gifts optional. Just a big family get together with a ceremony on the side. Well....as his way of saying "Thank You" to his mom, my husband said he wanted to buy her a new computer. I thought it was a bit steep since we'd be paying for it all but we along when he said we could afford it. We got to Best Buy and I slipped off to browse the CD and DVD isles. I finish my window shopping and make my way back to my husband ...who has a new computer tower...flat screen monitor...and printer ...along with all the necessary extra cables, modem and what not. Well of course my eyes bugged out and I was like ..."WOOAAHHH...what is all this?" and he says

"Don't worry I'm putting it on the BEST BUY CARD" :noway: :mad: :explode:

Uhhh hello thats about to be my credit too...I'd appreciate you not get me into serious debt.

Well this is the kicker....I swallow my anger and we move along in our wedding plans....Two months later we have to change our plans again. No longer using his moms house for the wedding, we..to this day..have never got an offer for any minute reimburstment.

Ohh and not long before our march wedding ...his dad had strapped himself financially and was in a bad way on his truck loan with the bank....So his mom told his dad to call us and ask if we would help. My husband loaned his dad 500 dollars....which has also never been offered to be paid back.

I hate dealing with family and money! :grumble:

it was also fun to buy beer in a gas station!!!!!

OK call me ignorant but - Are there places where one cannot buy beer in a gas station? Wow I guess I need to pay more attention to the world around me! Not that buying a beer in a gas station is high on my list - but I was a bit surprised. I know in Ohio we have something that they don't have in Boston: drive thru places to buy beer - and my brother in law is from Boston - and every time he visits he gets such a kick at driving thru the store to buy beer.

Ok.. am I a redneck if I buy my beer in a drive thru? ha ha oh boy..

oh my worst date! I have so many where to start.
- I have one that came to my house to pick me up. I had him wait in the living room and when I came down stairs he was buck naked on my couch!

:noway: :noway: :noway:
That's HILARIOUS!!!!!
Love it... Eeeek!!!!
