no one from my in laws side - girls that is - complimented me on my 3 days of my wedding, apart from my husbands eldest sister in law. My MIL, and two other SIL's only now say I looked lovely, when they look back and drool over the pics! It did not bother me at all because mashallah, everyone told me I looked amazing and as his two sisters are near my age, and don't dress like I do, I knew it was plain jealousy - because women are jealous creatures! His two youngest sisters will also mention my sisters outfits from time to time but never say how nice they were - when deep down they wish they had them! Everyone at the wedding was amazed by my sisters barat oufits and were so happy to see them 'done up' as it wasnt the norm for my sisters. Where his two youngest sisters wore really old styles and dated jewellery and had there own hair/make up done.

I did most of the planning for both sides of the family and alot of there extended family tell them that if it wasnt for your DIL your functions would never have happened, that is enough for me lol. His SIL had her ruksati and I did all the table decs/stage/cake etc, and all there extended family were really happy but not once was I told by my sis in laws that i did a good job. Its just jealousy, plus no one even complimented my maria b outfit that i wore, his sisters would look very closely at the suit but not say 'mashallah you look lovely' i think ppl who dont have an agenda will always compliment you. but other than that mashallah everyone in there family is amazing with me apart from when i get dressed up lol. the thing is that his SIL's are not pretty - not that I am - and are very overweight. They dont know how to apply makeup or do hair, and have never heard of designers in pakistan. there idea of a fab outfit is from the local market at 30.00!

and the other thing that must annoy them is there own husbands will compliment me infront of them......maybe that annoys them?
