This is mostly a rant with a side of what do I do. FILs have not said word one about our wedding in the 18 months we’ve been engaged. Suddenly we’re getting requests for my mother’s number so they can ‘coordinate their dresses’ and now we’ve progressed to “what about a champagne toast?” and “you should really have tablecloths on your tables” (we’re at a pavilion at the beach, not a hotel!), and we’ll stop by the day before to get all the decorations and misc stuff. They got a room half a mile from the venue and it seems they are starting to assume proximity will get them more involved. Already FH is going to set the tables, then go back to their room to shower & dress. Not a bad idea, I know, but ugh! This is OUR wedding, not theirs. Which I tried to remind them of when I turned down the champagne toast. We’re having a dry wedding, it’s staying that way.
They’re interested and engaged, I should be thrilled, right? But it just feels like they’re trying to take over.
Am I being a total brat here or is there some validity to my feelings?
