If you want a good laugh, listen to what FMIL did...
I told her I need 8 "growing up" pictures of FH for our video. So today she says to me "do you want my wedding picture and your parents wedding picture in the video." I say, "no. I want growing up pictures of Justin. this is our wedding video."
She was really serious! Tell me, why would HER wedding picture belong in MY wedding video? 
I suppose this is only funny b/c my FMIL has caused so much drama and I am convinced she thinks this wedding is about her. Maybe I would have thought differently though if she had been normal....
No offense to any of the ladies who have done this or are considering it. I guess its based on each person's situation.

Very Funny. Some older people just don't get it.

Re: If you want a good laugh, listen to what FMIL did...
Uh... I don't know... maybe because their marriages are a part of your history and heritage, and in the grand scheme, their weddings are (presumably) a huge part of why you even exist?
I don't mean to be rude, but I don't see what's so funny about that. I think it's a perfectly reasonable question to ask, if you're already asking her for old pictures.

I agree. I wouldn't mind having my parents' and FH's parents' wedding pics in my video. Especially with so many divorces I think FH and I are so lucky to have parents that have both been married for so long and they are still in love. JMO

Re: If you want a good laugh, listen to what FMIL did...
I think that if someone asks for pictures of someone's son growing up, it's a stretch to assume they asked for your wedding picture. In high school, they asked our parents (behind our backs) for baby pictures...no one's parents submitted their wedding picture then...why would they do it now?
I think it's hilarious Robyn...I really do.

I also agree. While you didn't ask her for her wedding pictures at this time, and she shouldn't have assumed anything, I don't think it's an unreasonable request.
We did have our parents wedding pictures at our wedding displayed b/c they are the reason we exist. Since they are both successful marriages, it's an example to live by for us.
While the timing wasn't right on your FMIL's part, I don't find the request to be funny, but normal.

i totally agree!!! her timing was off... but she was probably thinking " hey, while i have all the old pictures out, let me see if robin wants one of our wedding pictures for anything.." maybe she went to a wedding that did something with that before....
LOL i've read the "stories" about her., but i think i would cut her some slack with this one... i think she was just trying to be helpful....

couldn't have said it better myself!
And as for me, i would love to have both our parents AND our grandparents' wedding pictures!!! I love old pictures and the sentimental ties to when our "ancestors" were united the way we are going to be!!!

Sorry I agree also..but I always am saying things about my FMIL that not everyone may think is so absurd...

Re: If you want a good laugh, listen to what FMIL did...
maybe not for the video, but I want my parents' wedding picture and my FH's parents' wedding picture displayed at the wedding, in a frame. I think it's a bit weird for her to suggest for your video... unless YOU requested it for that reason. Maybe it would be nice to just have them on display at the wedding?

Re: If you want a good laugh, listen to what FMIL did...

Sorry - I compleely disagree here - I think that your growing up montages are no place for parents' wedding pics - its your wedding... plain and simple...

I think it's the wrong place to have them too. To each his own.

Re: If you want a good laugh, listen to what FMIL did...
ETA: My IL's don't even understand why I need photos for the montage!!! They think pictures of just us together should suffice.

Re: If you want a good laugh, listen to what FMIL did...
if you specifically asked her for pictures of her son growing up, why would she ask you if you wanted pictures of her?? bad timing, but i guess she figured while she was going through pictures....
but i see why this is funny. its something my fmil would do

Re: If you want a good laugh, listen to what FMIL did...
My uncle did this with his wedding video, and it actually was a nice touch. I didn't do it, because my husbands parents are divorced, but if they were still married, I would have done it. I think it's sweet.
