Exactly one year ago we were at a destination wedding. Our dear friends son was getting married...to a girl who has the family from hell.

To wit: The shower...mom and aunt did show up. Never said thank you or spoke to any of us. The bride, formerly a vegetarian...now a vegan...dictated that everyone had to be vegan too. Lots of soy...I had breast cancer. I can't eat soy. No problem...went home and had lunch. It was a very expensive lunch.

Guest list: Bride: 220...Groom: 58. People that is. The father and mother of the groom weren't announced, allowed to toast the couple, nor were they thanked by their son. The bride and groom never came over to "his" side to say hello and thank you for coming. Her parents didn't greet us. I actually went up to the MOB to say thank you, repeated it twice...she turned around and walked away.

Best food: mashed potato bar...with soy cheese......The bar: the eco friendly couple who had cork kippas, had two bartenders (for almost 300 people), and they used...plastic glasses.

MOB ordered food for rehearsal dinner which groom's parents paid for....ordered enough food for 40...100 showed up...all their family who were local. We ordered Papa John's at the hotel. *Our friends are not cheap. The object was to humiliate them.

The best part? The thank you note: A post card with the happy couple holding a sign that read Thanks!

Stories like this remind me that I am so lucky to be getting the in-laws I am!
