Her Future Mother-In-Law Decided To Redo Her Wedding Invitations Without Asking Her First
A bride-to-be took to Reddit to air out her grievances involving some stressful wedding planning. What’s one of the most significant sources of her stress? Her fiancé’s family. Especially her future mother-in-law.
This anonymous 30-year-old woman is getting married to her 36-year-old fiancé. She writes about how their engagement has been far from perfect and that it got off to a rocky start because of COVID-19 and its unpredictability. But the pandemic isn’t the only thing to blame for their troubles.
In the two years they’ve been engaged, the groom’s family has been very unenthusiastic and unsupportive.
“For nearly two years they have shown zero interest about our engagement nor wedding,” she explained.
The couple even considered not having a wedding and just eloping due to the lack of “love and support.”
However, because the bride’s family was excited about a wedding, they decided to get back to planning for one.
The bride has struggled to bond with her fiancé’s family since the beginning of their relationship. She even went on an eight-day-long holiday vacation with them and still didn’t feel any love.
She was hoping that during the vacation, they would be able to stir some excitement about the wedding and include them in some planning, but she was unsuccessful.
“The only question my [mother-in-law] had was if there will be hair and makeup for her,” she said.

Despite the awkward vacation, this bride held her head high and moved on with her planning.
A few weeks before writing her post, the finished wedding invitations came in the mail. The bride worked very hard and spent hours designing them.
Someone forwarded the invites to her mother-in-law, who was very disappointed in them.
She confronted her son about the matter, wanting to know why she and her husband’s names weren’t on the invites. The bride’s parents are listed, but that is because they are the ones hosting the wedding.
A week after the altercation, this bride-to-be’s fiancé randomly asks her how her parents spell their names. She told him and thought nothing of it.
A few days later, as her fiancé is showing her pictures of wedding dress fabric on his phone, she finds pictures of brand new invitations that her mother-in-law had designed behind her back.
The mother-in-law ended up putting all four parents on the invitation despite her complete lack of effort during the planning, used a tacky font, and added other designs the bride was not happy with.
Now, this woman is extremely upset, both with her mother-in-law and her fiancé. It was her mother-in-law that went behind her back, and it was her fiancé who refrained from telling her what was being done.
After working so hard and taking on so much of the planning herself, one can imagine how terrible it must feel.
