AIBU BIL and wedding

Me and DH recently announced our pregnancy with No. 3, and all of a sudden BIL tells the world he’s planning on getting married around the same time baby is due. AIBU to feel he didn’t need to steal our thunder like this? He’s a great guy and everyone seems to love him despite him involving the family in quite a few incidents over the years, and I want to be pleased for him, but at the same time I feel like the last thing I’m going to want to do with a new baby is get all dressed up for a wedding. I haven’t even gone down the route of asking whether it’ll be a child-free wedding yet or if DC will be invited. I expect DH’s grandma will get quite a say as usual, and DH himself will no doubt have to be heavily involved. God I hadn’t even considered the stag do, no doubt that’ll be a wild one and DH will come rolling in at all hours. Anyway, just needed to vent. AIBU?

I loved it! I think they are just bitter as they got sucked in Grin
Who says AIBU is just for serious and can’t be fun? Didn’t know there were rules and the MN police will come down on you. Chill out.

You should wait until mid vows and then let out a loud shriek announcing your waters have just broken and the next heir to the throne is about to make their arrival. That'll teach them to steal your thunder!! Grin

Nope, the thread is cute, but this! Don't mention Christmas in November

Fucking Xmas trees up in November twitch twitch TREES ARE NOT PERMITTED TO BE ERECTED UNTIL DECEMBER! 😡 and breath
That feels better.

Now back to the thread. I think you should go NC, OP. Do you think your mil's wee home is big enough that you can sit in different rooms during your xmas day visit?

It's so obvious some people are lashing out at OP because they're embarrassed they didn't get the joke from the beginning.

OP, you got me, and the fact so many people fell for it shows you have a great, subtle writing style.
