I've posted about this before - horrible SIL, her finance is cheating with her bridesmaid etc.

Anyway, if you remember the thread, you might remember that I wanted to get revenge because she went out of her way to spoil my wedding day, bringing up the ow when it was over years ago, and she also told me she wanted to 'copy' my wedding ideas but go 'one better'. I told her it wasn't a competition etc. Since then, they have booked their wedding and sure enough she is copying my wedding ideas down to the last detail.

Now I'm not bothered about that beyond thinking its a bit odd. However, I bumped into one of her friends at the weekend who told me that she's been telling everyone the reason we don't speak anymore is because I stole her wedding ideas Hmm. Again, this wouldn't ordinarily bother me but for the fact that I've started a wedding business (which is so far going well) and I'm worried this could damage business for me. We live in a small town where news and rumour are rife and travel fast so I'm not being dramatic to worry about this as a possibility. To put it into context, I designed and made everything for my wedding and didn't use suppliers.

So, AIBU to be so bothered by this and should I message her to nicely tell her to stop? I know she's doing this to piss me off so I don't want to play into her pathetic games but equally, I just want her to stop lying.

Ooh, that's an idea raver Grin.

I can just imagine how that would go down, me stood outside her wedding touting for business Grin.

Everything slim said.

Living well is the best revenge.

Too right Lucy.

I'm actually starting to realise she may be an habitual liar, possibly even a compulsive liar. She told some real whoppers over the time I've known her, stuff that's so obviously untrue, but I've always put it down to low self esteem. This latest porky is obviously designed to cover herself if people question why our weddings are virtually identical and also get at me in the process. I'm wondering now if she actually believes her own crap.

I'm actually starting to pity her Hmm. Clearly she has some issues to be going to these lengths when we haven't even spoken in almost a year.

Oops, this is the op. Had a NC since starting this thread Grin.

My website cost £5 for the website address for 2 years and it's free to make the website through Weebly. Make sure you launch it the week before her wedding [oh my, how timely] and make sure you have most excellent photos and some customer comments ready for the launch date.

Thank you for the suggestion Funky, I will look up Weebly. I've registered a couple of names already but keep changing my mind and thinking of new ones so will have to make a firm decision soon.

Do you think MySILisALiar.co.uk might be available? WinkGrin.
