Wow surkim! That is funny what you said to them! They shouldn't have been sitting there planning for you in the first place, and then shooting your ideas down when you actually decided to voice them!
Good for you for standing up for yourself. Maybe next time they'll think twice about trying to control other people's lives!
okqueenbee, they are delicious. I blame Mr. Mango for getting the idea in my head.
Okay, I have never tried them but with the words "fried" and "oreos" together how could they be anything less than awesome?! :P
The mom and sister sound like they're going to be a handful when the time comes. But, you seem like you'll be able to handle it!
And where in the heck can I find fried oreos? :)
Deep fried oreos are sooo yummy! I go to the KY BBQ Festival every year & get my deep fried fix lol. Oreos are the best... hands down!
lol those ladies sound nutso! I think you handled the situation very well... :)
Okay, besides the mom and sister sounding like complete bipolar weirdos im right there with you on the fried oreos. in fact even just an oreo sounds delicious right now
CurlyDreamer, you can make them! http://fairy.mahdzan.com/story/189.asp
I usually keep quiet, mostly so I don't step on any toes or offend someone. Thankfully BF is willing to put an end to it when it seriously goes too far. When we were buying our house, the seller pulled me aside and told me I was going to have to put a stop to the mom and sister asap... even the realtor came back later and was like "you weren't kidding when you said they were a handful..." At least BF doesn't fault me for getting annoyed.
oh dear. hopefully they stand down for a while and won't be a hinderance when you start planning for real!
and really, how can something that's deep fried not be delicious?!
Wow. Fried oreos are good, but idk if I would want it at my wedding. If I were you, I would have my Mama or my wedding planner make sure that they do not listen to them for a wedding ideas. And I would only have my Mama and my wedding planner involved.
Wow... when people outside the family notices how difficult they are, then you know there is a problem. I would deal with them only when needed because they seem like they will cause drama. Good luck!
Oh tell them to calm down. It will be your wedding and if you want deep fried goodness in the form of oreos then GO FOR IT!
Fried oreos ... yummmmmm. And a game room? Heck yeah!!
That's the problem when you start planning your own wedding - everybody has their own take on it ... and they think their idea is best and want to infuse it into your brain and convince you it's awesome ... when, well, it's not always your idea of a good time.
There, I think that made sense.
Anyway - I saw send FMIL and FSIL to the psych ward and plan your wedding ... it sounds like that's where they belong.
Oh, and what flavor ring pop?
wow. that's insanse! you poor dear! but way to stand up for yourself! and i'm glad your BF sided with you! i can't believe these two ladies told you how YOUR wedding should be. I mean seriously - they don't have to eat the fried oreos!!
How rude of them! Fried oreos sound delicious!
Agh, everyone on my boyfriend mom's side sounds exactly like your boyfriend's mom. Once his gramma said that I need to volunteer to get out of my "shell" (I don't have a shell. They just ignore me unless they feel like commenting on how I'm "too" skinny or to imply that my boyfriend and I are stupid for being republicans.) so I said that since I work 4/10's now I was thinking about volunteering at the animal shelter on Fridays to help find them homes. She then replied "That's stupid." ...
Some people just WON'T be happy unless you're doing what THEY want you to do! Forget them!
haha, I love that everyone is like "holy crap they are crazy". They don't ignore me, but sometimes it feels like there's not much there, since I'm not really into the same things. For a while I felt bad for killing conversations with "no, I don't watch TV...". Ah well. I figure they mean well, so I'm more amused than I am put off.
Oh, alishaneva, non-watermelon red, preferably cherry. eta: Whoa there is a strawberry ice cream one! Then most definitely that shall be it.

We went to dinner with his mom and sister. His mom decides to ask when the wedding is, how we need to get married, it's a great thing, blahblahblahblahblah, what kind of ring do I want, and so on. Surprisingly they didn't harass me about why I wasn't harassing him... this time.
THEN his mom/sister go on to plan the wedding, all with things that I think are boring, old, and not going to happen at my wedding. So then they ask why I'm not putting any input, and I tell them that "well, you seem to be so into it, I figure I'll sit at home and have my wedding the way I want, and I guess you will have BF with you at this wedding you're planning, since it seems you're planning for him and not me... I mean, if you're going to do all of this planning and insisting for us, I hope you're going to pay for it if you expect me to show up"
Of course, I start to talk about what I'd like, and I'm told that wanting fried oreos and a gaming room is "trashy". I was oh so very tempted to say "well then you can go to your wedding that you've planned, and I will have mine, with fried oreos and a gaming room!". I know who I'm not going to for planning help...
They left to have a smoke, and I said to BF "if they plan it, I won't show up, I know they'd pick out some dress that is HIDEOUS!" At least BF agrees that fried oreos and a gaming room sounds awesome, his mom/sister's ideas sound not-us and boring, and if they want that kind of wedding, sister can have it.
BF later tells me that he has no idea what his plan is (though he spoke in terms that implied "soon" with his mom/sister), and perhaps he would just use a ring pop. I told him it would have to be the right flavor, or I would turn him down.
The next day, his mom has changed her stance on marriage being wonderful to not knowing why anyone in their right mind would do it, and his sister has decided that fried oreos, once trashy, are now really good.
Oy.
