you are a Saint, I swear!

There is more to that. I had bought two corsages, one for each of my Nana's. One Nana wasn't feeling well and didn't come. I planned on sending the corsage home with my aunt, but we never found it. Turns out she took both from the florist, gave one to her friend, and took the other one home. Later my sister said she saw her run out to her car with a floral box, we figured out that was where she hid it.

She makes my MIL look tolerable.

You could write a best seller with those antics!

I have thought about writing a screen play. However, I don't think anyone would believe half of it. It's really overwhelming when I think about all of it.

Ya, I'm thinking she wouldn't be on my Christmas Card list either. I can only laugh at how pathetic and mean some people are.

At my 1st wedding (which was a huge Italian wedding w 350 people) my just new brother in law was hitting on my cousin outside and his wife came along and an argument started. I got wind of it and stomped outside in my wedding dress (6ft train and all) and told him off and said IF you think youre going to start trouble at OUR wedding you can LEAVE NOW! Everyone kept quiet and continued back inside. There was no more trouble again.

Also at same 1st wedding 2 of my cousins kept going up for chicken (it was buffet style) and they ate all the chicken. My dad got SO upset, he yelled OPEN THE BAR the bar is now open for all drinks on HIM (It was beer and soda until then). God love my dad and (may he rest in peace), he wanted there to be enough of everything and for everyone to have a good time so he opened the bar when the chicken ran out. (My parents never would tell me how much my wedding was. That was in the late 70s but I know it was a fortune for that era).

My 2nd wedding 7 plus yrs ago, no crazy stuff @ wedding. But DH and I wanted to get married ALONE (because we had the big wedding the 1st time we were each married to others). Well my children/grandchildren and my dad (who was still alive at the time, but mom wasn't) well they felt sad so I said OK we will have you all and DHs parents. BUT low and behold DHs mom calls from out of town a week before our wedding!!!! and says to DH your sisters are coming too! He tried to explain we wanted it SMALL and that we did not invite MY sibling but she insisted. So our wedding was not just us but was my dad, my kids, my son in law, my grandkids, his parents AND his sisters and their husbands. BONUS was- DH's dad INSISTED on picking up the tab. (It was just a small church wedding and dinner for immediate family) I did ask my sibling after his mom did that but my sibling had to work -it was short notice.

My good friend's boyfriend got drunk and knocked my Maid Of Honor's father over in the bathroom at the urinals!! We still laugh about that!

when my dad walked me down the aisle, the preacher asked "who gives this woman in marriage?" and at rehearsal, he decided to say 'her mother and I do"....did a perfect job

at the wedding, he answered "her mother and father and I do"....confused the heck out of the preacher

I ordered the cake and when I bit into it realized it was changed. My MIL changed the order from carrot cake to chocolate, not sure if she didn't agree with what I ordered and I didn't figure getting into it would amount to anything, besides it was my wedding day and I was having too much fun!

My MIL thought her oldest son was going to be dancing with her when all of the people are paired up to dance after the bride and groom dance their first dance-- usually the wedding party and parents then join them and didn't realize he was paired up with one of my GF's since he was an usher and she was a bridesmaid. To the rescue, came my now ex BIL of my SIL- who went and danced the 1st dance with her.

My wedding went without a problem (although it was the hottest. most humid day of the summer). My Dad worked with a guy who did photography on the side, so he took pictures there and at the reception. When DH and I came out of the church, everyone threw confetti (that melted on us). I was flustered, thinking that my dress and veil would look "tie dyed"...

The gentleman (Chuck) who drove us to the reception was my Boss at work. We rode in his Classic Gold Cadillac (and we felt like a Prince and Princess). Chuck was separated from his wife and was dating a co-worker/friend of ours, who also attended the wedding/reception. The first hour of the reception was outside at the Country Club, in the shade with an open bar. DH and I got to mingle, then pics were taken. While we were gone, DH's best friend and my former best friend (who had set up our Blind Date where I had met DH) were on the outs, and DH's best friend started pursuing my SIL! Inside at the reception was another open bar, dinner went off without a hitch, but the after-dinner antics were all caught on camera...

Chuck's estranged wife crashed the reception, and our co-worker (his GF) got totally drunk. She dragged DH up on the dance floor, and almost fell on her face. There were a lot of bizarre pics in my wedding album! My FIL was so bombed he disappeared for over an hour (he was found at the reception next door to ours, sitting at the bar and enjoying a stranger's company!). That foretold the future of my FIL who never had a sober moment at any family gatherings. He managed to get into to DH's car (that we would be taking to our honeymoon) and he put a block of limberger cheese on the engine block, as a joke.

I'm happy that my MIL didn't act up at our wedding (she waited a few years to pull her krap on us). Nothing as bad as PurpleBunny's though. THAT one takes the cake!
