21 Rudest Things In-Laws Did At Weddings

19.

“It’s my ex-MIL, but at my first wedding, she did multiple spiteful things. First, she showed us the dress she planned to wear — and I’ll be honest, I was taken aback by the fact that her boobs were basically hanging out of the halter top. But still, I didn’t comment on it (even though my ex agreed with me that it was wildly inappropriate). I did say to her that I had hoped she would wear a color other than black, since her entire side of the family always showed up in black to weddings, and it would be nice for her to stand out. She responded by getting pissed off and refusing to show me the actual dress she bought for the wedding until the day of.”

“She also wanted to decorate our cake topper, which I didn’t want because it was tacky looking, but I agreed, as long as she didn’t use any flowers on the beautiful Lenox piece I had picked out. She, of course, glued tons of flowers to it and paraded it around my bridal shower, just as she did with the glasses she bought us. I ripped the flowers off, though, and when she confronted me about it, I told her I had specifically asked her not to, and she said she didn’t care. Finally, she was mad at us because we wanted to pay for the favors ourselves (she paid for his older brother’s wedding favors, and because of that, she wouldn’t let them choose their favor), so we opted to pay ourselves. She was mad about this and because I didn’t want Jordan almonds given out because I’m allergic, so she brought a crystal bowl from home to the wedding and filled it with the almonds — and personally handed them out during cocktail hour. My ex found out and made her throw them away.”
