Fsil stole my wedding ideas!

so my fsil is having her wedding reception this weekend, she went to Vegas and got married on New Years. Anyway, this weekend she is having her wedding reception and apparently it is somewhat a potluck wedding where various members of the family and close friends are contributing to this reception. The most awesome part of this is the location....it is in her fil's 3 car garage! seriously in the garage. To add to all of this awesomeness fmil is actually setting up a bridal table with a huge centerpiece and a picture book on it. She called me yesterday to ask me to bring gaucamole and I was caught off guard because I thought maybe fi had agreed to it when he talked to them over the weekend but after talking to him um no he didnt, so we are bringing gaucamole and that is that. 

Anyway I actually feel bad for fmil because she wanted to have the reception somewhere and was going to pay for it all but fsil said no absolutely not. So fmil is going all out to make the 3 car garage look decent and I feel awful for her since this is her only daughter.Normally my fmil isnt so bad but with this i am seriously giving her the Tongue Tiedthen Sad face.

She was talking about black napkins being tacky at a wedding and I had to bite my tounge that it wasnt near as tacky as the reception itself let alone that fsil wore a black dress to get married. 

In case you were wondering no I am not worried one bit about this wedding or fsil stealing my ideas.

Re: Fsil stole my wedding ideas!

  • What are you going to do now??  Thatbitch! Angry

     

    This is going to be an awesome party.

     

    DH got a text with another wedding date in it. That makes 4- all on his side. I don't think we will be able to go to them all, but I get that it's hard to choose. I really really really hope that this is the last year of this. 

    I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns
  • She just posted on fb asking where she can get a keg for the party. this is kind of reminding me of Friends when Joey keeps calling it a party and Monica just about loses it. Fsil keeps calling it a party  while fmil keeps saying reception.

    Also the intial invites were through facebook and then like 2 weeks later a paper invite came in the mail that looked like she cut the paper with a butter knife.

    That style is all the rage these days.

    This is like a high school party when someone's parents are out of town. Those were the best.

    Four wedding invites by text? Whaaat?

  • Confession, my first wedding was partially inside a large garage. Somehow, I feel this is going to be very different.

    It's not the invitation- just the head's up. This particular person is a relative hot mess, but she's got nothing on PP's fSIL.

  • When I first saw the title of your post, I planned to come in here and show the poster who asked about TIP being cruel, just how cruel we can be. 

    What does it say about me that I was oddly disappointed to find out you weren't serious so I didn't get my chance to unleash?!?!?!
