This is OLD news that I just found out about. My wedding was 5 years ago. I visited on the phone with a cousin I haven't talked to in ages, who attended my wedding. She brought up our wedding, and told me something that had ticked her off. She said my husbands family was going around telling my family and friends things like, "She's a lucky girl!" (implying I don't deserve him?) and "He's quite a catch." (again...) and "You know, he WAS the most sought after bachelor in town." or "You know he is quite established." Wtf? Am I being overly sensitive here? Keep in mind, MY family was saying things like, "Don't they make a nice couple?" or "We love him like he is our own." or "He's so good with her kids." WHY did they feel the need to make sure my family knew I was getting a good deal? It just doesn't seem like proper etiquette to me. My cousin said it wasn't just what they said, it was the way they said it. It was as if they were implying he was too good for me or something. As if!
