Gets popcorn.
Well?
Woman was an absolute bloody horror.
We took them (Daughter's in-laws to be) out to dinner to discuss arrangements for the reception. I was paying and had agreed with Daughter and her Mother
that it would be held in a very upmarket restaurant which we could have sole use of for the afternoon as well as the run of their very lovely garden. I knew the owners (We were in the same Licenced Victuallers Association) and they allowed me to provide my own champagne (obviously I could buy it trade) and they gave me a very good rate for use of premises, their staff and the luncheon.
I explained all this to the future MiL who was very sniffy as she felt a "Nice Asti" would be acceptable
and she wanted to "do the food". I stressed that the $3k estimated bill was down to me and she conceded that although she had never eaten at the restaurant she had heard that they had a "Good Chef with French Letters after his name".
Mucho collaspso from me and Mrs S#2. She never forgave us for that.
When the marriage all went wrong three years and one child later her "Christian" views were aired loudly to all and sundry and I had to threaten an injunction to shut her up. Nobody but me calls my daughter names like that
especially as it was her son who had impregnated the girl in the first place (although I grant there may have been more than one contender for the privilege).
