My MIL and SIL wore white
to my wedding 15 years ago. So, at SIL's wedding, guess who wore
white?! I didn't want to lower myself, but the need to assure that
"what goes around comes around" got the better of me.
Too many people wear black today, so I knew that white would do
it best. I also prayed that the SIL would not get married for quite
some time, and it looks like that wish was fulfilled, as she was
20 when I got married and she is 35 now.

DH comes from a large
family. He wanted our wedding to be in his native country so that
all of his family could attend. I should add that we live in a
neighboring country (about a 7 hour flight). My parents died when
I was 17, and the only family that I have is a wonderful brother
who lives in the USA. Well, I agreed to have the wedding in DH's
country. The only dates my brother could fly out were between January
8th and January 16th. He is a doctor, and can't just leave his
practice at the drop of a hat. My DH told this to the MIL, but
she said that those dates weren't suitable because there was a church
camp being held then, and besides, great uncle whats-his-name and
other distant relatives have already booked their tickets. MIL
had handed out invitations for our wedding, which she decided should
be on December 12. I was livid, and should have called the whole
thing off. But, being the fool that I am, I went along with it
and was married in front of 500 guests (and not one member of my
family). Our son was born the next year (another story), and during
her visit she and DH were talking about the church, and she happened
to mention that the camp was called off. My dear, big brother missed
my wedding because of: 1. my weakness at not telling her to shove
it, and; 2. a church camp that didn't happen. I told her why he
couldn't come, and how sad that was for me, but she had nothing
to say.

The Party: BF had a get together for his
23rd birthday. Before the party, his mother demanded that he not
drink, because he tends to get loud and silly when he has had too
much. She also told me to "not let him drink". I told
her that I would try, but I really couldn't keep it away from him.
Well, he started off all right, until all his friends convinced
him to have a beer. One turned into two, two into three, and so
on, until he was really blasted. He wasn't acting out of hand,
so I really didn't bother him about it. But, when I saw him going
for more to drink, I urged him to stop. I took the beer, and, while
no one was looking, he opened another one. At this point, his mom,
who had been ordering me around all day, got angry and started a
big fiasco. She began screaming at me, and telling me to leave
her home and never return. This was in front of some of his relatives,
and I saw RED. I couldn't believe that she was blaming her son's
behavior on ME. And, that's EXACTLY what she was doing. She told
me that I was "poison", and that he and I were through.
I looked directly at her, and said, "That's OK, I don't care
to be around you. I think you are a bitch." I realize that,
at the time, that was the WRONG thing to do. But, in the long run,
I feel liberated for finally telling her just what I thought of
her. Indeed, it made the situation worse. I haven't been over
to their house for the past month. I feel sorry that, at least
for the time being, I cannot be a part of his family. DH agrees
that his mother acted horribly towards me that night, and he even
stood up to her for yelling at me, which made the situation worse
for both of us. I tried to contact his mother from work on several
occasions, to bite the bullet and apologize for the situation, but
she won't hear me out. Although I am "not allowed in her home"
(only according to HER), the rest of his family wants me to come
to his grandmother's 90th birthday dinner next week. I love GM
dearly, and miss her, so I will go, although the thought of sitting
at the same table as the "witch" makes my stomach turn.
