What the hell just happened here?

So I spent some money yesterday. It felt good getting 4 more things crossed off "the list"...
Even better yet still, I didn't spend a gross amount which is a feat to share, considering I ordered all four things off the net. I've earned bragging rights.

So, besides the location, priest, photographer and food... we now have our guest book, the garters, the dress/veil/shoes. Cake set, photo album/scrap book, one of our favors, the invitations and place cards, the floating candles+ for the centerpieces I'm making and the white silk gardenia flower I will wear tucked behind my ear once I ditch the veil at the reception.

Recently, we had the enthralling task of digging through the ceremony book our priest sent us via snail mail and picking out the ceremony. We will not be writing our own vows (thank god lol).

Then the day takes a weirder turn.

Starts out by mother in law torturing me with her dark mood and complaining about... well, everything on yahoo when I sign on. She told me she was just about ready to tear into Brad for not making his face more readily available for her admiration. So I gave him a heads up about that.
I really should have run then, lucky for her I am a moron, and silly me for being content in my life and trying to help people to see what they should be thankful for, rather then throwing themselves a pity party.
So I am trying to talk down her mind sucking mental warp, when it happens. She turns the mega bitch on me!
She is so good, you never even see or feel her strike at first. Some what like what I would imagine a baby snake, that turned out to be highly poisonous. By the time you see the punctures, you're dead lol

Long story short, she told me I am being selfish about the wedding and that it is all about me and my family (I am one of 5 kids and just one part of my family back home could easily fill all 50 spots, funny enough that none of them will be there) and that I don't want her family to be in the wedding. She pulled the daughter (that she also bitched a good 15 minutes about) the Maid Of Honor out of the wedding, when I told her I would like to hear from my Maid Of Honor sometime soon, and that maybe I should not have asked her because at 14, she is not really stepping up.
I wanted to hear from the kid herself she was into it, not from mommy dearest.
I apologized that her family is so small, and that they are so old. But told her I am doing the best I can and it is impossible to make everyone happy. It's also not my fault my brothers and Brad get along so well.
To which she told me I could be evil to Brad all I want to, but I am not doing it to her daughter. (What?! lol)

The woman needs to find a pill and take it.

I think what really chapped her ass, was when I asked her if she was going to hold another grudge against me for years because I attempted having an adult conversation but that is was okay because I would love her anyway, cause it seemed that is just what she needs... I acknowledged she must be extremely lonely and depressed to be conducting herself this way, and asked her if she'd felt better having gotten all she got all off her chest she needed to because she hadn't managed to drag me down. (I think I heard her bubble burst at this point)

Anyhow, now I am stuck twiddling my thumbs, wondering who is/will end up being the Maid Of Honor and my right hand girl that day. I have plenty of worthy candidates who would be more than happy, but the way this all happened... it just doesn't sit right with me yet to start moving on.
Would you laugh if I admitted to sending yet another email out to his little sister, kept it short and sweet explaining I was sorry I had opened my mouth to her mother, I realize I should have tried calling her instead and that we did not say we didn't want her. Acknowledged it was rather hypocritical of me to have done this, when in actuality I was begging the kid to communicate with me one on one. After all, we are trying to be role models here!
So, now she knows her mother is the one that took her out of the wedding, probably making things worse but at this point, not much could be done to accomplish that.

Hmmmm, she never did end up exploding on Brad or Michele the way she claimed she wanted at the start of the conversation... you're welcome guys.
