I need more popcorn!
Hope everyone had a nice Christmas. Ours was relaxing as all we had to do was take some gifts to my mothers house and all the kids came there for gifts and lunch. Lunch was on SS26. So sweet.
SS26 and his GF got engaged in October. We were all there except for her mothers BF since him and the father do not get along. They have planned the wedding for March of 2026 and we are all in planning mode. They are both just down to earth so nothing fancy and they will not take a honeymoon until the following winter when work is basically shut down.
SS26 called us yesterday extremely upset. Seems his finaces mother and her boyfriend got engaged on the 26th. The boyfriend went to the same jeweler and had the SAME engagement ring made except the diamond was much bigger. He then started rubbing the fact that it was bigger in SS26 and fiances face. They told him they are either getting married first or very close to their wedding date. Both are vey unhappy but have no idea how to handle it. I told him that we will just continue on course and deal with whatever comes up since we have his back.
DH and I are both thinking this reads like a Dr. Phil show or something. OY

time for them to elope. w/
time for them to elope. w/ you, your DH, her dad & a few close family members if need be. Just have them pick a date, get the license, pcik a date and have the clerk/whoever does them do it. then plan a nice cook out or bbq at your home in the spring to celebrate w/ loved one. Her mom's BF is not a loved one.
my story is no where near yours. mine's a tale of two brothers. Son 2 (younger son) got engaged. a couple months later son 1 got engaged. son 1's fisnaces family did the whole big thing. bells, whistles, country club wedding etc.
son 2 and his fiance called us one day and asked if the two of us, and my granddaughter who is son 1s child but that's a soap opera of its own, would care to join them for their wedding at city hall. we of course said yes please. it was a calm peaceful wedding, in the city hall atrium. We then went around the corner to a park and took photos there and in the city conservatory..
it was sweet, calm, just plain wonderful. They eliminated any drama. just a thought for your SS
Fiance's mother's boyfriend
Fiance's mother's boyfriend is displaying small d*ck energy. Do you really think he's the one behind this or did the Bio Mom push for this disgusting competition?
BM and her fiance sound like a toxic dung heap, so I'm sure that relationship will not be happy and probably won't last.
If SS26 and his fiance are smart, they will let BM and her fiance plan their wedding date, pay all the deposits, and then SS26 and his fiance can do a simpler wedding, Ninja style, BEFORE BM and her fiance do.
You have to go low information with these people. It would be nice to plan an "engagement" party for next year and have it be a surprise wedding!! LMAO
BF and future MIL are both
BF and future MIL are both mental. It takes a 'special' kind of mother to knowingly accept a bigger, better version of her daughter's engagement ring AND horn in on the young couple's nuptial schedule.
I second them eloping and excluding Monster-In-Law and her asshat from all plans.
A thought... SS and fiancée might be able to exchange or upgrade her current ring for something different.
Don’t let MIL and her BF `
Up set everything. This is total disgusting behavior on MIL / her BF part. There were major problems here, Major problems for the rest of their life. SS and his GF Should have a wedding of their dreams hopefully it's only done once> Don't let a Selfish, Crazy MIL Ruin the day. Hopefully MIL wedding is first and they will be happy buying something expensive.
Dont. Or please..let.. FSD. have her dream wedding .
We are hoping that her mother
We are hoping that her mother and boyfriend do the eloping. SS26 has already secured the venue, paid the deposit, is hiring my nephew as the DJ, and we are currently setting up the hair and makeup to be done at my house since the venue is down the road. We just feel so bad for both of them.
