Hi strawberries, bf & I bought jewellery for our mums as appreciation.
Suelynn, dun fret. Always look at the bright side of life. At least yr mil still bought sidianjin for you. I know of some brides whom din get anything at all. If yr mil let u choose then consider it as a bonus. Wedding suppose to be happy event, if every little things u r bothered, then u will not be happy. Just give and take and all will be fine.
I was facing some bad patch initially as my bf sis (who stays wif her in-laws) wanted to do confinement at my bf hse (I will be staying at their hse after wedding). She is due end May. Although bf & I do not belief it will clash wif our wedding, my mom believes and hence is very upset. We were put in a very difficult position and were extremely stressed out as we were sandwiched in between his family and mine. However, we chose to look at bright side of things and prayed. It took me lots of explaining to my mom to get her to be appeased and dat doing confinement so close to our wedding wld not affect us and dat birth of a baby is joyous occasion. My mom finally relented... however, we later oso realised his sis will not be doing confinement at his hse when my future mil heard my mom was unhappy. So all things end up well still. Wat I am trying to say is, do not fret so much and let it affect yr r/ship wif yr hubby as he is in a difficult position as well (its his mom afterall), try to understand him. U can voice yr concerns to him but always give others the benefit of the doubt and u will find happiness as well.
