Re: Nightmare In-laws
sana.. i really feel for you.
also love marriage, also issues with MIL (and do an extent in-laws). even though she's now okay with me she can still be very rude to my mother. when we were still engaged she was ranting at my mum one day and it basically came out that she blames my mum for us falling in love - that she didn't keep me under control and away from her son. my hubby really stepped up at this point and after that she didn't dare mention anything of the sort again.
my whole family (there's 8 of us) were going to pak for the nikah and we wanted to do it properly to justify us all going and for relatives - she just wanted to do it in the house and keep it as low key as poss so she could pretend we weren't really married. even though in the end it was in front of 500 people she introduced me later on to her friends as her son's 'fiance'.
but hun, my hubby and dad were both strong about where they stood and alhumdulillah it all turned out okay in the end. even though i still had no idea what was going to happen when i was on the plane to Pak. at the end of the day, if you guys really love each other and will stand by each other and hubby is willing and will stand up to his parents when it's actually necessary, then all these things are irrelevant. let them get on with it, you and your family enjoy your event. what matters is that you end up together. i just hope it's not going to be a joint family situation afterwards.
