past anger

If you were Indian...your parents would probably have to pay for the wedding and gifts for in laws.

Most Indian dils would be grateful for having a great relationship with mil.

Forget about the past ...enjoy the present.

 

Hi dorito, you said you have a great relationship with your in laws right? Yes , they
should have gave something as a gift but they did not give. Usually in laws give golds.
Enjoy your relationship with your MIL. May be in the future she will realize her mistake
and give you something.

 

May be she will leave you all her jewelery in her will....who knows.:coffee

 

ROFLOL!!!!!! yeh sure!!

 

I am guessing she just found it awkward to make your husband pay for the gift she got you on your wedding!!!

 

It's better than getting some jewellery and then being told that it was modified before you got it.

I have been wearing the engagement ring given to me since my engagement. It is very old fashioned, and apparently belonged to my DH's grandmother. So even though the pattern is not to my liking, and is also quite loose, I have kept it. Every time I even broached the subject of having it re-set, or re-sized for me, there is a whole drama at home.

Just came to know recently that it had an emerald and diamonds on it. But just before our engagement, MIL had the emerald removed and put a "red stone" because she liked the emerald a lot.

Doesn't stop me from wearing the ring. She kept quiet for so many years, she could have done so for ever.

SO...ultimately, it is better to have the good relationship you have with PIL than the jewellery that you did not get.

 

I am luckier than most dils...my mil gives me LOADS of Jewellery every time...the catch is that it is artificial...u know the kinds they sell on the roadside outside temples or in melas... She even stocks up on those to hand me one festival at a time. She is planning to gift me an artificial hand me down necklace (no, she hasn't even bought it with her own money) for my baby shower!
But when it comes to taking my Jewellery there is no hesitation. Apparently by diamond jewellery pieces suit her better than me! :spin

 

Op, u don't have sil do u? If so...I would not get my hopes high...
