My MIL is SOOOO annoying......
So, our 1 year was yesterday. It was really nice we just hung out and did some house stuff then had plans to go to our fav place to eat come home and eat some old cake...
So we get it the car to come home from dinner and we are so excited to go home put on a pot of coffee and see what are cake is going to be like when...DUN DUN DUNNNN....his mother calls...
It turns out that she has saved the top of our wedding rehearsel cake and also went out and purchased a F'in cake topper! It gets better...she invited his grandfather over and his aunt and uncle!!!! WTF?! So I hear Carmen saying, "yea, well we were going to eat our cake...oh really?" blablabla..when he hung up he proceeds to tell me this and I was like, "no, I'm not going, this is our 1st anni. and I want to spend it our way!"
So we didn't go over..I put the cake on our good china (first time i used it)...We didn't do anything big for our first but we did what we wanted and had fun talking about the year..up's and down's living together for our first year.....so was it super shitty of me not to go over?
Re: My MIL is SOOOO annoying......
It was super shiity of her to call you up out of nowhere and try to usurp your happy day. Who saves the rehersal cake and puts a topper on it? Has you MIL been talking to mine? Seriously if there was ever two people that should never meet it's them.
I'm glad you were able to stick your foot down and have the anniversary that you and your hubby wanted.
Score: Wives - 1 MIL - 0
I agree with above posts. It's YOUR anniversary!
My mom mentioned a couple weeks ago how she couldn't make plans for Columbus Day weekend because it was my anniversary.. I was like 'What?.. Are you planning on coming with us on our long weekend getaway?'
Sometimes I think people just don't think.. they think it's nice to celebrate you and your anniversary but forget that it's about the TWO of you and that's it.
I agree. You were totally right. I'm glad you guys ended up having fun and doing things your way.
Happy Anniversary! That's strange that she thought you guys should spend your anniv with them. No thanks!
We actually have my brother's engagement party on our anniversary, but it's not a big deal b/c her mom planned it and they had no idea. plus, we're going to dinner the night before and we'll be going to Philly this weekend to celebrate.
Good for you and your H not giving in to her craziness. That's nuts inviting other people over for an occasion before inviting the "guests of honor." My mom saved a piece of my wedding cake just in case we didn't but she isn't planning on celebrating our anniversary with us. I'll probably tell her she should eat the cake on our anniversary and think of us. But that sounds like something my MIL would do if she lived closer to us.
I feel like we have enough people for a support group here though.
