These people will be your in-laws and the grandparents of your children. Take the high road, be mature and acknowledge them in your speech. You might want to see a counselor if you are not already, regarding your eating disorder and your feelings of "hate." If you understood where these people were coming from, you might have more compassion for them. It's not good to start out a marriage with such strong bad feelings towards people you will be involved with your entire life. Again, kindness can work wonders. Even if you don't like their behavior, you can be kind and do the right thing. If you do, they will most likely warm up to you. A wise woman once said, "Expect nothing, appreciate everything." Best wishes and best of luck to you. Forgiveness is the great healer.

Very nice! It's sweet and funny - I wouldn't change a thing. Don't worry about people saying that the groom doesn't usually give a speech at a wedding - who are they to say that? It's not their wedding, is it? It's yours. Everyone will enjoy your speech and they'll appreciate that you thanked them. Good luck!

To help you out here and have less stress, I would just suggest to just say thank you for sharing this day with us, and for raising a wonderful son. Its the truth, and to the point. It wouldn't seem right to say the amount of cash each person put in, and it would make you seem like a bratty kid. Just be nice and polite, and it won't come back to bite you in the butt! I am kind of having the same problem with you, not so severe, but my family is there alot more financially and morally. Congratulations!

Do what you want - it's your wedding. But why not be the bigger person and include something about them, your new husband will be happy you did. Even though he feels the same as you about the support, it's still his parents.

Say nothing about them other than to thank them for raising a fabulous son. No reason to have downers in your wedding.

It's your wedding. You may thank whomever you wish. You are not obligated to thank someone you don't feel thankful toward. BTW, tradition is that the Bride's family pays for the wedding.

So thank them for their son. That is enough. But don't exclude them...do not be like them, you will live to regret it. I know of no one who took the high road who ever regretted it. Good luck.
