Shocking Update
Well I am now officially married and my shocking update is that BM and SD didn't cause any problems or drama or anything on my special day! It was pretty much a blizzard out and BM even still brought SD and picked her up from the wedding (I was pretty shocked about that also). For once my predictions on SD/BM were wrong!!! I'm actually happy to be wrong in this case.
However, my SM was a complete B to make up for lack of SD/BM drama. I really don't understand why my SM acts this way towards me (extremely passive aggressive) but I am trying not to take it personally seeing as she treats her own daughter the same. She has 2 daughters but she treats one like a precious little snowflake and the other one like me, lol! My SM tries to be subtle/low key on her crap treatment but it is pretty evident to EVERYONE. My dad is to whipped to actually call her out on it and if I ever say anything it is twisted around on me so I know that it is best to just ignore it and distance myself. Just thought she might be a little bit nicer on my wedding day but nope!
As I stated above it was pretty terrible weather the day of my wedding. I really didn't think many people would show because of it but luckily we still had about 80 people show up despite the crappy weather. People started rolling out after dinner which I expected as the tempature was dropping and they wanted to get home safe. I completely get that. I was happy they made it to the ceremony. What upset me was the fact that my SM started cleaning up while I still had guests there and was basically rushing the ones that were planning on staying out. I understand putting the food up/etc but she was actually taking down decorations and stuff (we had the ENTIRE next day to clean up). She was also acting all crabby and put out by it so I was trying to help with the food. My brother came over and said, "Um, it is your wedding day, go enjoy your guests, I didn't have to help with things on my wedding day like this and you shouldn't either". So I went back to socialize with the few guests that SM hadn't rushed off yet. She then walks over and says, "Can I tell the bar tender she can go now?" Again, I was getting irritated and trying to keep calm but DH was not so happy since it was mainly his friends still there. Thankfully he answered b/c I think it would have been evident in my tone that she was getting to me if I had answered. He told her, "NO, we paid her until midnight, and we aren't leaving yet"....at this point it was like 8pm. So she comes over and sits at the end of the table all tense and pissy until the rest of our guests decide to leave. This may not seem like that big of a deal but she was a major B about everything leading up to the wedding day as well and I didn't ask her or my dad for anything other than help with paying for the facility. My mom, myself, my friends and my step sister covered every other cost and all the decorations/etc. I'm glad it is over. Even my friend noticed how awful she was any time she inserted herself to "help".
Anyways, that is it. I am now married, lol!

Congratulations!! Totally not your SM's place to start taking things down and ending the party. Ugh, why do SM's have to be such b*tches??
Yeah, I was pretty ticked
Yeah, I was pretty ticked about that. If she wanted to leave she could have. The reception was like 5 minutes away from her house.
Oh well! It was still beautiful and I was happy that a lot of my friends and family did make it despite the weather!
Congratulations, hon!!!

Too bad your DH didn't tell SM to go home! LOL

LOL, I'm pretty sure he wanted to! My dad should have reigned her in or sent her home though. I don't know how he puts up with her crap.
Congratulations!!!!!!
Congratulations!!!!!!
My mother has your SM beat though. LOL.
My mother was a complete lunatic at my first wedding. With DH though, she minded her p's and q's thank goodnes but the first go-round was horrendous! I'll never forget it as it made for a very memorable day.
LOL, Cover1W, my crazy mom
LOL, Cover1W, my crazy mom was up in the mix as well. She waited until the day after for her meltdown though. Now I see why people elope! Good grief!
Positive outlook though, it was definitely memorable!
God this is shades of my own
God this is shades of my own mother, she does that too. Starts cleaning up, or sits there all on edge ready to leave so kills the fun vibe.
Im glad to hear that gimpy SD was able to overcome and make an appearance.

Ha ha - just be glad she's a SM and you can shake it off. My mother was a horror at my first wedding. So bad I haven't told her I've been engaged and it's been about a year!
She did give me my grandmother's diamond ring though...so maybe she knows.
My mother waited until the
My mother waited until the next morning for her meltdown, lol! I was actually surprised my mom waited that long. I was honestly just happy they were somewhat civil to one another at the event. They act like they are still in HS!
I have my grandmother's ring also but from my dad's side :) Good luck with your wedding! I suggest eloping somewhere tropical!
Congratulations on the
Congratulations on the marriage! I wish you a lifetime of happiness!!
As for SM... some people are just miserable humans. She sounds like on of them! Try to forget that part of your wedding day and focus on all the things that made you happy and cherish those memories!
Thank you!
Thank you!
You are correct some people are just miserable and try to bring others down with them. I didn't let her :) Overall it was still a good time and I am relieved it is done!
