My mother in law is the WORST person in the ENTIRE world. Even my wedding planner/ boss thinks so. I know because she told me.
So after the most recent "no rehearsal dinner at the Melting Pot" debacle, my wonderful wedding planner decided she would take Arlene and Jon out to dinner there so they could see how it works, what it's like, etc. All was fine. They went last night, and, according to Patty they showed up LATE and she was in a dirty t-shirt and jeans. Patty arranged it with the owner to have a sampling of pretty much everything and of COURSE Arlene just says "I don't like anything" over and over and over. Patty said she wanted to throw the beef at her at one point and say "here's your damn beef!" She apparently spent the whole night talking about her ex-husband and how she decalred bankruptcy twice to someone she had JUST met (Patty) and, whenever anything was brought up about how Greg and I wanted to have the dinner here she kept interrupting and saying "PAIGE wants to have dinner here" (as if I have brainwashed him into wanting it.... yeah right.) And she kept saying all night how she didn't even know anyone who was going to be at the dinner, but that didn't stop her, at the end of eating everything she "doesn't like" and letting Patty PAY for it, from saying "I just don't think people will like it." Which I marvel at, since she doesn't know anyone at the rehearsal dinner.
I am so pissed off. At this point, I don't even want to HAVE a rehearsal dinner because I am embarrassed by what MY classy, well-mannered, polite family will think. This is disgusting. I love Greg, but I can't believe he was spawned from THIS...
