WR Ugly/Funny MIL/SIL story
Since most of your girls lived through my MIL/SIL and the girls drama, I have to share this here. I probably wont include it in my G/B/U post on TK.
Recap... kids were not included/invited in any of our events, Eparty, Shower, wedding. MIL made a stink about it for every event, they all ended up coming to our eparty and major drama around my shower but no kids.
Wedding time...They had plans to have a babysitter come (a neice of someone) who would watch the kids. We get a call Monday that there's no babysitter and the kids need to come to the reception (they are 2 & 3). NO WAY. So Eric is on the phone with his mom, and i'm fuming in the background. We had just gotten our marriage license.
His mother insisted that my SIL's mother who was watching my neice and nephew watch her grandchildren as well. She even said she would pay (slightly insulting to say the least). We nixed that. The she insisted that she would hire a babysitter to watch the kids at the house we were staying at so they would be on the grounds. We said no. Conversation ended with MIL hysterical crying and DH saying to figure it out, it wasn't our problem.
We hear nothing about it and then the day of the wedding we hear BIL is going to stay back at the house and watch the kids while SIL comes to the reception and all would come to the church. Oh yippee.
So kids come, the talk and make noise throughout the entire ceremony. My BFF/MOH said she thought I was going to levitate off the alter and kill the kids. BIL and SIL were dressed awful and the family picture looks retarded because of it. So then SIL comes to the reception and leaves before we even cut the cake, do our dances etc. Never says a single word to me except congratulations at the church.
AND.. they never told us that BIL wasn't coming, so we paid for his meal and their gift didn't even cover it and our meals were only 50pp.
Needless to say...DH is all set and I'm more all set than I already was...

Knowing that you wanted no kids, they still ended up brining them?!? Wow... you have every right to be pissed off!
It would have been an awesome site to see you levitate from the Alter to the kiddo's...................

WTF. You know... when you have guests at a wedding, you have to take them into consideration. Keeping that in mind, wedding are still about two people - the people getting married!
When people act like that about weddings I always want to say "I'm sorry if you gave in to what everyone else wanted your wedding to be like. I'm not doing that with mine."
My nephew was at our wedding - he was the RB, after all. And he was cute & everything, but he was also noisy during part of the ceremony. It was kind of annoying. I understand now why some people choose adults only weddings.
Oh, & my BIL & SIL didn't get us anything for the wedding - not even a card.
I also forgot to mention, my own neice, who is 4.5 was our flower girl, and even she wasn't invited to the reception.
Noone else had a problem, everyone else made arrangements. Well, hopefully we only ever have to see them like once a year from now on.
I knew there were gonna be some good stories from the wedding about this group, but this is all over the top. I have to say that as crazy as they are, they continue to entertain me, maybe b/c my IL's are just as crazy.
I am pissed for you about the meal though, that is so disrespectful.
