O my, MIL issues already?
I don't even know if I should be allowed to be annoyed by this but I think the stress of having to accomodate everyone for the wedding is getting to me. Sorry this might be long.
My FMIL send me a email the day before yesterday. Amongst some other things she says, "what hotel do you think is best to stay in?"
I reply yesterday morning saying, "well the holiday inn express because its close to everything going on, there is a awesome discounts, its brand new, and thats where all your family is staying."
Then she sends back a email saying, "do you really think a hotel is the best place to stay? Scott and Mitch (FH groomsmen) will probably want to stay with you so maybe its best that I stay at the Holiday Inn."
After reading this and being like WTF? and very confused I realized its probably because she wants to get ready with FH and his brother the morning of the wedding. So I decide to book a hotel for me and my sisters so we can get ready there the morning of which will also give FH, groomsmen and his mother enough room to get ready. This means we are going to have 4 people staying with us the two nights before the wedding night and the night of the wedding. We decided to stay at our house on the wedding night as there is no point in paying for a hotel room we are only going to be staying at for 7 or so hours. There is enough beds but bathroom space will be limited. None of them will have vehicles as they are flying in from B.C.
Basically I am annoyed for two reasons: 1. FMIL beat around the freaking bush and just expected me to read her mind. 2. I am going to have to play hostess to 4 people for two days before our wedding and I am sure we are going to be running around with our heads cut off doing other stuff.
I have already accepted that its going to be this way but basically I am wondering if I am being downright ridiculous for being this annoyed by it.
Straighten me out ladies.
Re: O my, MIL issues already?
I have always believed that weddings tend to bring out the worst in people so take what FMIL says/does with a small grain of salt. That being said, I don't blame you for being annoyed. I am easily angered by that beating around the bush/passive aggressive sh!t. I can't believe that you are having people stay with you...I wouldn't have done that. The last couple of days leading up to our wedding were kinda stressful (just alot going on, lots going through my head) and, at the end of the day, I just wanted to go home and chill out. I think that you can easily avoid playing hostess, just don't do it. When these folks arrive, simply let them know that the fridge and cupboards are well stocked, show them where the clean towels are and let them be. On the one hand, they are coming here to support you. On the other, you can't be expected to entertain them the way you would at another time of the year. Good luck.
