Real Bride Confessions


My FMIL is trying to take over, Good Luck!!!!
I love my FMIL, but I also secretly want to tick her off as much as possible! I"m so bad! I disagree with her about everything. I got a wedding planner, much to her objection. She wanted to do it. If she did, we'd be getting married at pizza hut! The funny thing is, I really do love her and get along with her, but our tastes, not so much. She's a momzilla! Even if I like something she says, I pretend I don't!!! She's also done some shady things. For instance, our wedding date is Sept.19th, and she just gave me a list of an extra 30 people or so. So maybe you can understand why I want to make her mad. It's kinda fun to admit this!!! I've never seen this sight! It actually makes me happy when she gets mad when I shoot down her idea's! How bad is that!!! I am so mean!!!

My husband cheated on me & I divorced him. I started a catering business with mu aunt as a silent partner. She called me & told me my the woman that destroyed my marriage wanted her to cater her & my exes wedding. I told her go right ahead just let me review the proposal before she submitted it. When I received it I really inflated the prices and the dummy signed the contract. I stayed away from the reception venue intil after the reception was well underway. I entered into hall through the kitchen wearing a fierce suit, made up to the nines. My ex-father-in-law came in, saw me & literally ran out of the kitchen. A few seconds later my ex & his mother came flying into the kitchen looking crazy. My his mother asked me why was I there & told me I had to leave. I replied you hired my catering company for your reception & I'm here to supervise my employees. (All my staff had been given the head's up on the situation & they had my back). Their faces hit the floor. They were so stunned they couldn't say a word. My mother is a "county girl" and as she would say it was so quiet you could hear a mouse p_ss on cotton!! Their reaction was better that hearing they judge say I was entitled to alimony!! It was great... The next day the homewrecker,mother-in-law, & ex went to see my aunt & complained about the food trying to get a refund. She told them the food was fine & all the guests consumed it without complaint & there would be no refund & if the had an issue to contact the owner of the company. Of course they did not call me & my aunt & I shared a big bonus (read that as overcharge)!!

humble answer for trophy
as a mostly-happily married woman, my opinion is that i think you'll always wonder....i met a man while i was engaged, and we did nothing more than share some drinks and a dance while i was out with some girlfriends. he and i kept in touch via email--he knew i wasn't available--and although i wouldn't let it get past platonic and we're no longer in touch, i still wonder "what if"...not sure if that's normal, but that's where it's at!:) congratulations and good luck.
