And pix..... we can wait an extra day if you're too hungover

[Sprailenes 47]

Just tell them you couldn't committ to it time wise. You're a busy gal and unfortunately your schedule just wouldn't allow it.

No way, it is time to be honest with them all; don't wait till the wedding, do it now. The sooner they all know the truth the sooner they can support the groom and prevent this disaster

That would be the thing to do... If she had no class. Regardless of how you feel of someone, you shouldn't try to sway others. They'll find out on their own or they won't. No need to add fan the flames especially with family. Take the high road.

You need to find a nice bib to wear over your dress that has some customized message on it that will needle her like crazy haha. Maybe something like:

"To be Used for Wedding August 2009

Brought Out of Retirement for Divorce, January 2010"

The best weddings to do that at are trainwreck ones. You know the saying.............. In vino veritas

[Emancipation 2]

Or you could stand at the back of the church waving keys at the groom throughout the wedding ceremony

[Chica Yeyé 41]

WAIT, so the wedding is still on????????????? #######,. Tell BIL I have 2 single cousins who are luvly. One comes with a 2 year old already made

You'd probably be better off levelling with your family before the wedding about why you are no longer involved, however, if you really don't want to go there (although you don't know what the bridezilla might tell them so you may want to go there after all. . .), you could always say that there were irreconcilable differences and leave it at that. Your family know you and I am pretty sure understand you wouldn't have made such a choice unless you really needed to.

[Mephys 2]

Everything as been said already, but personally I don't like when people are in miserablel situations, and although you are trying to be the better person by letting your BIL figure this out by himself, I would personnally tell him not to marry that girl....

It's not going to be a happy wedding at all And it's gonna suck for a lot of people in the family as well

Well to be honest, I'm sure my father in law has already gotten the word around to all the cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. So I'm sure they will all know most of it any ways. I just want to say something like, "She requested that ti wasn't her choice to have me in the wedding so I thought it was best to let her face her day free of things that weren't her choice!"

It will be. Amanda will get sh1tfaced and puke on the bride's dress

[MikeMc 38]

Agreed.

I'm sure he still loves her very much and I do hope that he looks at it from a life perspective, trailmix.

I just can't believe they called him emotionally abusive. He's nothing of the sort. All he has done is defend her and stick up for her for four years. He told Jared he wanted to apologize to me for all the times he had to call me because she asked him to. (ie. he would call me when I would ask the wedding party if we could compromise on a gift that was economically suitable for every one, and they would call him telling him I was being unreasonable)

He feels so bad now that he ever got involved in that staff and wants to say sorry. I told him he doesn't need to say sorry at all! I understand the pressure he was under and I love him. There is no need for apologies there.

She has told him that if he calls off the wedding or wants to delay it, they are finished.

So far her and her family sound like control freaks

I hope your BIL understands that and doesn't fall victim to their manipulations.

OH my, he's still going to go thru with it?? This is going to be a horrible wedding for him, and that's just the start of their life together.

I must have missed this thread. Just read the whole thing and it breaks my heart. I really hope he can see what hes getting into before its too late. I'm sorry for you as well Amanda, I can't believe she would do that to you. Someone needs to smack that child, then seperate her from her parents and throw her into the real world for a little bit. Sounds like she is genuinely more concerned about her precious wedding than her relationship with your BIL, which is sickening.
