If you post some of the ones you see, we can definitely help with their meanings! Some of the ones that confused me were:

FF = Future Fiance
FI= Fiance(e)
DH = Dear Husband
DD/DS = Dear Daughter, Dear Son
DDS = Diamond Shrinkage Syndrome
FMIL/FFIL/FILS = Future- Mother-in-law, -Father-in-law, -in-laws, also FSIL and FBIL = future sister/brother in-law
