You're a very patient woman! As for the passport, she better hope she doesn't get sick or injured on the cruise...

I wanted to thank you all for your suggestions on the gift. We bought a picture frame and made a collage of 8 pictures of BIL as a baby and a child growing up with other family members. The bridal shower was held last weekend and she loved the gift. Her mother took it and they are going to add some pictures of her and then use it at the wedding reception to decorate the table where they set the gifts.

You are going to be a great SIL. You did something wonderful, and are able to look past her crazy. It is like the definition of family.

The bride's family is taking out loans to pay for the wedding, but apparently it isn't enough to cover everything. My BIL has taken a second job to pay for the engagement ring and some other expenses. An example of their mind set is the bride is buying a new dress for her shower, another new dress for her reception dinner and then the wedding dress. In the mean time her passport is expiring before the wedding and she is not renewing it because she can't afford the fee. They are planning a Carribean cruise for their honeymoon and there is a possibiity that she may not be able to get off the ship in the foreign ports without a passport. They probably wont let her on the ship without a valid passport. We have gone on several cruises and they check that before they let you on the ship.
