Bridezilla FSIL (Vent)
My brother is getting married this summer. I get along with FSIL okay, but she is one of the most selfish people I have ever met.
She picked out $230 tuxes and is asking that the grandfathers wear them as well. My grandparent's are on a fixed income and that is expensive!
She picked 7 BM and told my brother he needed to have 7 GM. He picked a few friends and then she said that he should pick her brothers. All 3 of her brother's are in the WP, including her sister's BF.
I was a little upset that I wasn't asked to be a BM (at first) because I thought since they picked my H to be a GM, and all 3 of her brothers, that having family in the WP was important, but my sister, her husband and I are the only people in both families to not be in the WP. Also my sister's H will be the only man not wearing the same tux in both families as well.
I know we should never assume we are in someone's WP. But when you include 6 family members and leave out 3 it seems a little strange to me... But if the tuxes are $230 I am so glad I am not a BM, because who knows how much those dresses are going to be.
When discussing budget and guest list (her parent's are divorced so her family is a bit large) she stated that she would rather have a fancier wedding and a smaller guest list (i.e. cut people from the list that included family and close friends).
The are having a destination wedding. Although it's only a a boat ride and a 30 min car ride for 90% of the guest list, between the hotel and the boat reservation it is extremely expensive, not to mention that the majority of the people in the WP are just out of college or still in college, and they seem to be asking a LOT from their WP. I do not even want to know how much the bachelorette and bachelor parties are going to cost...
When discussing the budget her parents have said they would pay for everything and that my parents would pay for the RD. I know that this is old fashioned, but this is actually how people still do it in our area and how my sister's and my wedding were paid for. Well now her parent's are looking up things online to see who pays for what and are now asking my parent's to pay for the flowers and a bunch of other stuff. Now we all know that with money comes strings and whoever is paying gets a say on what he or she is paying for, which is what I told my mom, but we shall see how this all plays out.... she, like me, is not very confrontational about these things...
I am just so angry because I love my brother and I am so happy for him, but I just really don't like who he is marrying... don't they say that you really see who someone is while they plan their wedding? Well I do not like what I see.....
