What does this ring come with......

Hmmmm.... so I have recently received a gorgeous wedding band that matches my engagement ring perfectly. The only problem? It was a gift from my MIL. I know, I know that sounds like something to celebrate rather than fret about right? WRONG! My MIL and I have had.... well it's been difficult building a relationship with this woman and I bet a lot of Brides-to-be out there know exactly what I'm talking about. She is opinionated to the point that if I disagree on something she wants decor wise for my wedding I am being a Bridezilla and still insists on doing my fiance's laundry for him!!! So here is the dilema, when a women that has repeatedly tried to sabotage my day and come first in my fiances life buys you the PERFECT wedding band that costs more than we could ever afford for the wedding... what does it mean????? I am so happy to have the perfect ring but I don't know how to take it. This woman is sooo confusing! Help!!!

yikes... this is a tough one!
All the budget advice columns I've read so far say the same thing, that money is power when it comes to a wedding.
It is obviously your day and you need to put your foot down when it comes to decor, etc... but once you accept a pricey gift - your MIL might use it as leverage. I hope not, but you never know!
I would accept the gift graciously, and if she gives advice or throws her weight pertaining to the planning - just try to reach a compromise or make her realize that this is what you've had your heart set on.
And talk to your FH about it too! Good luck... keep us updated :)

I think you're right about this situation.  That is exactly what I was thinking but I wasn't ready to admit it.  Thanks for the advice.  I think it's a great idea to let her know I have my heart set on something rather than having an all out brawl, lol.  She's not evil, if she knows how much something means to me than she will probably back down.  Thanks again!
