September 28, 2008
So I was standing by The Bar when The Mother of The Groom came in the building. To date The Parents of The Groom had not met The Parents of The Bride. I was standing talking to The Mother of The Bride when The Groom came over to introduce his mother. And his mother said: "Oh, my. You are not at all as I had expected you to be. Your daughter is so tall and thin... I did not expect you to be so fat." The Mother of the Bride gasped. The Groom gasped. I tried in vain to hide my gasp.

It amazes me that some people were not equipped with that filter between their brain and their mouth. Posted by: sue.g at September 28, 2008 10:05 PM Whatever happened to 'Charmed I'm sure' ... when you have nothing better to say? Its the woman's daughter's wedding... there's a dozen or more utterly charming things to say... and 'Hey, you're fat!' isn't one of them! Tact seems to be a dying art... Sigh! Hope the Mother of the Bride likes Lemon Drops! Posted by: TonyS at September 28, 2008 11:58 PM Well my mother is dead so it wasn't her, but she did make essentially that comment on meeting my MIL in 73. Posted by: ntsc at September 29, 2008 04:16 AM Good. Lord. Posted by: Laura at September 29, 2008 07:15 AM Oh my goodness. You seriously have THE BEST stories! Posted by: Richelle at September 29, 2008 08:43 AM ... to which she should have replied, "Your son is so intelligent. I didn't expect you to be so stupid." Alas, it never happens at the right time. Posted by: BC at September 29, 2008 09:09 AM I'm sorry, I thought all my brothers were already married. I'm not sure why my mother was there.... Posted by: John Beaty at September 29, 2008 10:11 AM You can't leave it at that--did the barbarian add any other special moments to the reception? Posted by: pamela at September 29, 2008 02:30 PM OH. MY. GOD. Posted by: LisaInCT at September 29, 2008 08:23 PM Just think of all the fun she's going to add to that marriage. Posted by: Ellen-Mary at September 30, 2008 07:33 AM I hold out very little hope for this marriage. Genes and all. . . you know. Posted by: Anne at September 30, 2008 09:16 AM Lordy. (Note to self. Meet the childrens inlaws first). Posted by: Pats at September 30, 2008 01:52 PM I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the next meeting of the in-laws. I'm sure it will be a riot. I hope there is copious amounts of alcohol available for the bride and groom. Posted by: auntjone at September 30, 2008 04:41 PM |
