Mother in Law put foot in mouth
- My Mother in Law heard that my fiance and I had a disagreement. She proceded to call me and ask me if we are calling off the wedding!?!?!? I was completely shocked she said that, and proceded to tell her, if we agreed on everything I would be scared- it is perfectly natural to have disagreements occassionally!!! We have never second guessed our up & coming marriage!

I Can't Believe You Are Marrying Him
- My friend decided she no longer wanted to be friends, after I announced my engagement. She thinks that I shouldn't get married or get married to my fiance. Aside from a whole slew of other mean things she said that left me speechless. Thanks to her I now do not even communicate to mutual friends as how I'm sure she convinced them to take sides on something I have no control over.

Are You Sure?
- "Are you sure you wanna do this?" I was until just now. Man you made a good point. Now I really gotta think this through!

MY future M-I-L UGH!!!
- My MIL bad-mouthed someone to me at this person's own wedding!! She then proceeded to tell me how great her family is compared to the bride's (is this an indicator I should run and run fast?). I can only imagine the things she has said about me! Sooooo TACKY.

Doubting
- "I doubt you'll last 2 years." (Said by my "best friend" who got married the summer after I did, her marriage lasted less than 2 years and they never paid off their wedding! So far we have "lasted" 17 years! You really find out who your true friends are when you get married. After her divorce she apologized for her rotten attitude to me and my husband and she really is one of my best friends.)

A Sign???
- My ex-mother in law wanted to know what sign I was almost as soon as I met her son. I replied Gemini and got no response. Now after a 33-year marriage and divorce, I know it should have been MY sign to ask why. It would have saved a lot of hassle. (But I did get two wonderful children and two awesome grandchildren out of it.) Now when I'm looking for a date I always ask what sign they are and I stay away from Cancer men!

Whaaat??!!
- My grandmother, upon meeting my ex (for the first time) actually said, "So this is the jew-boy my granddaughter is marrying!" Especially considering that i had become Jewish, and was Orthodox for years before i ever met him, i was stunned!!!! When i met HIS mother (a totally non-religious woman) her response was, "And I raised you (him) to marry a shiksa?!" The marriage lasted as long as it did, only because I was tenacious enough to keep beating the dead horse. Now I can laugh about the two of them, but at the time, they reduced me to tears and rage!!

The worst I've gotten is..
- "Well.....(long pause) as long as you're happy." Followed up with "What did your ex think?!" This was said with my fiance' standing there. I've been divorced for 3 years - did I need to ask my ex's opinion first? WOW. I did, by the way, tell my ex before I announced it out of courtesy and he was fine with it but REALLY?!?

He's Got Ugly Feet
- When I took my husband-to-be home to meet my parents, my mom's first comment to me was, "Gosh, he has ugly feet!". Fortunately, she liked the rest of him, and the man with the cute feet (IMHO) and I are still together 40 years later.

Apparently, there's a weight limit
- This happened to a friend ... her Mom said, before the fitting, "If you're not going to lose weight, I'm just not sure why we'd spend all this money." Who knew that being a bride was like being a Rockette?

We've Picked ...
- When my ex mother-in-law heard the news that we were getting married, she turned to me and said, "We already had a NICE and SUITABLE girl picked out for him so I don't know why he went and found you. Since we're stuck with this, if you expect us to be at the wedding, his dad will have to perform the ceremony and there can be no alcohol at the reception. Champagne and wine are of the devil." I caved on his dad and got our pastor to allow him to perform a part of the ceremony even though a pastor in a different denomination in a different state. The day of the wedding, when they found out there was champagne at the reception, they caused a scene at the church, refusing to "take part in this mockery" and demanding that the pastor refuse to marry us too. I was not unhappy to have them out of my life when we divorced 7 years later!

Are You Sure?
- So you're definitely planning to go through with it? Not to me, but to a friend of mine. I think that's gotta be the worst!

My Maid of Honor
- Once I had found the wedding gown I thought was perfect, when my Maid of Honor saw it she said, "You can do WAY better." Needless to say, not asking for her opinion anymore.

A foot-in-the-mouth question
- Here's a good one: "Are you serious?" It says an awful lot in three words, and depending on your tone, you might get punched right in the face!

From the Bride's Father to the Groom
- "She's your problem, now!" (this wasn't said to me but to a friend of mine, honest)

My Mother-in-Law
- When I was engaged, my mother-in-law actually said to me, "Well I know that your people probably do things different but that wedding invitation just isn't classy or tasteful." Thanks for telling me that my family isn't classy! I got a good laugh out of your article!
