    Does anyone else's in laws take no interest in the wedding plans. I'm not letting it get to me they have made it loud and clear how they feel about me and our wedding but to not ask any questions to go is rather hurtful.

    We were out there tonight and oh mentioned something about honeymoon and mil just complete side swerved what they were talking about and never even asked how the plans were going.

    Just wondered if anyone else's in laws were like this.

    My in laws were really interested. My mother in law was upset when we got engaged but think it was more that my hubby hadn't let her in on the secret before he did it as he'd told his sister he was going to. Once shed got used it it they were fab. If it gets to you, just don't mention it,unless you want them involved in which case maybe bring it up more as they either think it's not serious or don't think it's close enough yet,either way it's happening so the more they hear about it the more they'll have to get used to it x

    I think it annoys me as my friends take more of an interest in the wedding than them, we had a big fall out a few years ago and mil hasn't got over it, (I will never forgot some of the horrid things she said to me but I'm not holding a grudge)

    I've been with oh for 9 years in 13 days, they have booked rooms for the night before the wedding and night of the wedding but still haven't told US oh auntie told us as well as the hotel giving us a rooming list.

    Tbh I won't bring it up with them unless they do if they don't want to know then I'm not going to tell them.

    I feel sorry for my wife =( her family was amazing eventually and mine.. Nowhere to be seen, never asked never attended.

    Some families just cant get excited hun, rise above it and if you really want to bug them.. Talk about all the details possible in front of them :D

    I'm quite lucky about it. My in laws got really happy about our engagement and they gave us a great idea... They suggested for us to get married at the village my h2b grew up, in the local church... And I've never thought about it, and I'm really glad that they are trying to help. Since I'm leaving my country and my family, I can feel that they will really be my second family :)

    Like said before, some families just don't help... I know it's sad, but I don't know if there's much to do about it...

    In laws are quite helpful, FIL will be contacting the priest to schedule a meeting with H2B and MIL will be joining us for viewing the venues and will be looking for wedding fairs for when I visit London. They are quite surprised when we told them that we would like to get married where H2B was christened and not in the Philippines or USA. They know that it is hard for us to organize a wedding being in two different countries and my family is spread around the globe. The only thing is (which I would be posting as a different topic/post) is the silent expectation that I will ask her to make my wedding dress.

    Fortunately my inlaws or my family were not like that. They were also not over the top in asking about it every five minutes. Both sides were happy with the planning we told them as it happened.

    Didn't expereince that. If anything, we were getting a bit tired of people doing nothing but talk about the wedding. We used to ban the "W" word some days lol, just to have the odd day off from it

    Luckily my in-laws have been amazing and I've always had a good relationship with them from day one! My MiL is really excited and would buy her outfit now if she could!! At the same time though, they aren't over bearing at all and don't push ideas or opinions on us x

    I used to get on amazing with mil and 2sils unil I told ds who was 2 to hit his big cousin back mil went crazy at me and we had a major argument I almost had a breakdown because of it, I thought we were back on track but she says snide things every chance she can get. Sil is hacked off at us because my friends won't move from the family room to allow her boys to go to the wedding. It's all a big mess and mil looks at it like oh took my side over everything that happened Andy ow that he's actually marrying me it's like she can't do anything about it and oh is stuck with me.

    Me and oh have been through so much heartache and a lot of couples wouldn't have survived as it's not been easy. But at the end of the day 9 years down the line if we weren't going to be together forever we wouldn't have come this far.

    Thanks for all the comments.
