You know venting is an amazing thing isn't it. At the end of it you go, phew..... Sit back and breathe again...lol...
Married civil, something wrong with that? No... In-fact i wanted to go to Hawaii on a beach, (run away), until my Mother kicked up, so it was a beach ceremony in my home town instead.... It rained so that was good luck aparently well maybe for the day, a year, that's a different story...
Mmmm... There always seems to be a "princess".. You can chose your friends, husband but not your/their family i am afraid.
Sounds like you s-i-l was trying to get out of spending Mother's Day with her mum, rather instead her boyfriends and used your comment as an excuse? Did she turn up in the end?
As for your wedding, hard call... We would just love it to be what "we want" it's our day after all. But to exclude part of the family will create a rift on-going. You may have to eat humble pie and think on that one, remembering that you are already married... It may bite you in the bum for years... You could be cute, make them all wear the same colour but pick her gown as a very very lose fitting one, and the other girls, glam.. only joking.
Your husband has to keep defending you when appropriate it's the only way that the waters will calm i think.
She may have a bee in her bonnet as well, a more mature woman, (you), married to her young brother, so she feels a need to constantly defend, , to be the "mature one", although Jessica Simpson may never grow up, or stop being a bimbo...
Bottom line is, your married. It's your lives together, one that is meant to be extremely happy at this time ( congratulations by the way ) don't let others cloud it.... When we do that, our relationships suffer as well.
Somehow you just have to laugh it of, and turn it around, instead of giving advice " well it's your mother to" just say, no prob, we'll book with out you, here's the restaurant and phone number if you change your mind, then let hubby let his family know of that decision, not you...
They may soon see it differently without you imputting, rather agreeing and passing the buck to husb, to inform his family. Your out of it......
At the moment Jessica S, would be going, she was so mean she said, and so i don't want to go, whine, whine, whine...
This way, the parents would have to say what? If coming from a different sorce and she can't belittle you either, food for thought.
