    My FMIL is.....eccentric.

    But now FMIL is fixated on probably the weirdest thing.  We're getting married in the state we grew up in but don't currently live in--the wedding is Sunday morning and we're leaving for the honeymoon Monday night.  FMIL is begging/insisting/demanding that we stay at her home that Sunday night--our wedding night! 

    Her reasoning is that, it'll save us money on a hotel and that this way she can spend more time with us before we leave for the honeymoon and head back to our place.  OK--that is all true, but we don't need to save the money and we planned to stop by to see them on Monday before leaving for the airport anyway. But most importantly---I WANT TO HAVE LOUD CRAZY KINKY SEX WITH MY NEW HUSBAND, and I can't do that in his parents' house. Their room borders his on one side, and his older sister who still lives at home is on the other side.  I delicately pointed out that I'd like more privacy with my new husband, and FMIL said "oh I don't mind, I know what's happening regardless of where. Plus you'll be too tired that night anyway"

    EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. I STILL CARE! I won't be able to let loose like I want with all those in-laws there and 'knowing' what's up. And the wedding is over by 5pm, I think we may be ready for sex sometime in the 28 hours between the end of the wedding and when we leave for the airport.

    I'm going to let FI explain that one to his mom.

    Oh wow. That is just awkward... I don't know if I will ever reach a point where sex in my in laws houes will be okay with me, and certainly wouldn't be on my wedding night!! That is too funny really. Does she not remember how much she DIDN'T want to be around her parents on her own wedding night??

    I am sorry but i am cracking up at this and so is FI becuase this is so something his parents would do. I would just do what you want and she will get over it. Its nice that they are thinking of you and everything, but I am with you on wanting the private time (NOT where everyone (and his mother) can hear)!

    hahahah the best part is I wrote this because FMIL just called to bother FI about it again....but after badgering him for a while I heard him just go "Mom, because we want to be alone....No, that isn't being alone....I know you know but geez Mom....Ok, listen, BearLove and I are into some weird shit.....no weirder, way weirder.....ok glad this is settled"

    I have no idea what FMIL thinks we're into now but I'm ok with it!!!

    That sounds like something my mother would come up with. I am also now cracking up about the way your FI handled this.

    Nice that she's being considerate of your finances and all, but perhaps a Monday brunch would be a more appropriate way to see her son (and new daughter in law) before the honeymoon.

    I'm totally cracking up over what your FI said to his mom! Love it.

    My FMIL is kind of the same way - super nice and wants to always be as helpful as possible and to help us get ahead and all. We drew the line when she suggested (in 100% seriousness) that she buy a duplex for us all to live in ;)

    @CassandraC:  Oh geez, I could never do that. I'd need quadruple locks on the bedroom door and probably for MIL to be deaf. Even then I'd be too paranoid she'd feel the vibrations of bed rocking.  I feel like such a prude but I'd prefer it to remain an unspoken truth with our families that FI and I have lots of sex.

    OH my gosh I am laughing so hard at the follow up your FI told her! HA! In our case, my FMIL, her BF, my Dad, his GF and all 5 of our kids will be at OUR house on the wedding night (all of them except my daughter don't live here) and WE, dear Bees, will be in a hotel suite a block away on the beach! I wouldn't be surprised if any of the above OR our friends try to come with. Yeah, NOT happening though I love them ALL dearly!

    Tell her your mum/dad/MOH (anyone) has already bought and paid for a night in a lovely hotel and it's too late to cancel as they've paid for it.

    Plus you want to spend your wedding night alone with your husband having hot nasty sex.

    She'll understand.

    My FMIL is similarly weird.  I love her, but this is definitely something I could see her doing.  In fact, we just had a similar situation.

    FI and I got invited to go for a Valentine's Day weekend trip at our wedding venue on the coast.  I told FMIL about it and she invited herself and FFIL.  FI and I do a lot with them, so we didn't mind them coming along for the trip.  Unfortunately, FMIL took it to the extreme.

    We decided to make our hotel reservations at the same time, over the phone.  FMIL called the hotel and made her reservation first.  But, before she handed me the phone to reserve mine and FI's room, FMIL told the clerk, "Okay, I am going to give the phone to my future DIL now so she can reserve their room.  Oh, and btw, will you please make sure we have adjoining rooms?"  I nearly died right there.  All I could think was, "Umm, this is supposed to be a ROMANTIC trip?  How am I gonna 'get jiggy wit it' with my FMIL and FFIL in the next room? Or, what if THEY decide to get jiggy and I have to hear them?"

    I guess it all worked out because Aunt Flo ended up rearing her ugly head a couple of days before the trip, so I was out of commission for that weekend.  But, still.  Even though we didn't have sex, privacy was entirely obsolete.  FMIL and FFIL wake up at the ass crack of dawn, and so does FI.  So, they all got up at six and opened the adjoining doors so FI could go drink coffee in their room.  One morning I woke up and FFIL was walking through our room!  I couldn't walk around FI's and my room in underwear or naked, so I to carry all of my stuff into the bathroom when I got ready.  Then, at night, FMIL and FFIL had their TV up so loud I couldn't sleep!

    It was definitely an odd experience.  I don't know why FMIL insisted we have adjoining rooms.

    My FMIL can't bear the thought of her baby having sex; it's still way too weird for her and we noticed one continuing theme whenever they booked reservations for us - they had double beds.

    I never really thought about it until once we were checking in and the hotel clerk said, "oh yes, I remember this reservation - double beds were specifically requested." Then it was a big "Oh" moment for us.

    @bearlove:  haha <3 your FI's response.

    This sounds like something my mom would do TBH. Every time I mention possibly going on an overnight trip she wants to tag along with me and my SO -_-

    Omg.  We're doing a semi-destination wedding and they wanted to all stay in the same house.  Even that was too close for me.  No thank you.
