Give them their space. They're obviously not too thrilled about you marrying their baby, but you know, the fact of the matter is, you're both adults. Unless they're paying for anything more than the bridal dinner (which is traditional), then I say screw 'em.

Have they said something to make you think that?
Have you sat down with them and your soon to be husband , and talked with them about it?
Happy events can sometimes cause hurt feelings, if someone is feeling left out.
Alot of times the groom's family does get/or feel "out of the loop" so to speak.
It may be a simple misunderstanding or oversight.
Communication is a wonderful thing, if done right.
Congratulations and best of luck to you

My fiance's parents are going overboard because this is their only son and only child. They like being the only parents involved since my dad is in prison and my mom wants nothing to do with me. They like being the center of attention. My family cannot pay for my wedding, but they plan on giving "their son" a nice rehearsal dinner" and so on and so forth. Mostly his mom, but that's another story.

In-laws aren't always happy about there son/daughter getting married.My mil cried the day we got married as she looked at it as I was taking her son away.Try and help them feel apart of the day and help some even if it's little things.Also let them know your just an addition to the family not trying to steal him away from them.Good luck!

I had the same problem with my in-laws. We tried to involve them in the planning and they were so stubborn about everything we just gave up. At first it was upsetting, but I soon got over it. My mother in-law is a very jeoulous woman and I should have expected it.Don't let anyone spoil your special day honey.

Some people aren't emotional or at least don't show emotion as much as others.
Unless they tell you or their son they don't want you in their family, I wouldn't be too concerned about it. It just takes some getting use to. It's not always an easy task.

Well, I think you just let them be entitled to their feelings and keep doing the best you can. In-laws tend to be judgemental and hard to please but the good news is you're not marrying them nor will you have to live with them (most time), although you will have to interact with them from time to time. The best advice here is bite your lip and keep your feelings to yourself regarding them. It could save you a lot of pain and agony down the road.

Ask for their help. Just don't give them complete power and final say so. Honery people really do want to put their 2 cents in.

ask both sets of parents to dinner with the bride and groom. You and your sweetie set the tone by having some topics to discuss and questions to ask.
