So, forty plus identical stories, where thr daughter makes the same excuses for her mom's quirky behavior, but if that were her husband's mom, he would be a spineless momma's boy
Story 13 11:40 I'd suggest Opie crop those photos of her mom looking bored or annoyed into big, framed photos focused on her, and make sure those are prominently displayed whenever she visits. "Oh, Mom, those photos are how we'll always remember you! 😌"
It's actually sickening to hear how many couples just let others ruin their wedding. There needs to be a rent a B service where you hire women to stand up for you if you can't stand up for yourself. They'll loudly tell off anyone that needs it and can boot them out.
Yeah i have no problem telling my own mom to stop, although she has a much better sense of decorum than to do... most of this. Some she totally would like crying.
During an epic blizzard, my mother planned out my holiday theme wedding to the Nith degree. I was barely four and she was all excited so of course I loved it. This was HER dream wedding through and through. Into an old Whitman candy box and tucked away. She’d shown it to Dad too. It was mentioned once in passing when I was 13. I am about to turn 20, I come back and announce that I’m engaged. With pure joy she bounced off and brought out the box and opened it to excitedly begin. I said a flat NO. What did I mean-no? No. The church was small and icky, set in a small town with not enough infrastructure to accommodate that many people with lodging, food, etc, if the weather clamped down in a blizzard (-40 and three feet of snow over three days). Plus louse up everyone’s holiday time. And six hours from where I lived but two blocks from her. Her idea of prices was 25 years out of date and she couldn’t even buy the flowers for her entire budget. I wasn’t going to put up with any more. About a month of being hung up on and nothing started or spent yet. We got the license on Thursday and called everyone and said Saturday, here where we lived (late spring). Show up or forget it. She and two sisters still stirred some things up, the bit of food and talk after, i walked out on after some cold shoulder and walked home in my clearance rack $10 white prom dress. She didn’t talk to me for three months. My cousins had a betting pool for when I was going to have a baby within six months. (I didn’t). She couldn’t get into her dress if she tried, so no white dress fight. After nearly five decades, still grateful that I didn’t put Dad into debt, we still got married. And I out stubborned my Mom. We chose towels for a wedding gift. Any color. When Mom passed, we found the box… she had put it aside for my daughter. That didn’t happen.
Why do you allow this? If my mother had tried this I would have had her escorted out. I would also tell staff they were not to change anything without my explicit permission.
I’m so glad I have a son. I’m letting my soon to be daughters mom do all the work. We will just help pay and on the day I will take my granddaughters so my son and daughter in-law can focus on their day. Her family is Cuban and I’m really good friends with her mom and she is better at organizing 😂. Also I can’t get blamed if things go wrong. I’ve heard enough horror stories to know not to get involved
One of the saddest things I kept hearing is "I love my mother.....BUT!" I have no idea what my mother these days thinks about my wedding. I haven't spoken to her for 8 years, and the way she behaved at my wedding also lost her quite a few friends and all but two family members!
I’m listening to these stories wishing I could be a sister to one of those OPs, just so I could march up to these moms and say two words: ‘rest’ and ‘home.’ And if the narcissist starts to splutter about how we wouldn’t dare, my answer would be, “f***around, find out.”
TIL: tell the wedding planner, caterer, photographer, officiant, DJ, and any other vendors to change *nothing* without direct approval from the bride or groom.
This one isn't too egregious, but on my wedding day, my mother had a sulky expression the whole time. Turns out that she was put out with my little brother over something that he not only didn't do, but he seemed completely oblivious to her sour mood.
I am of the belief that one of the bridesmaids' duties should be to mingle with the guests and pour red wine or chocolate sauce on the dress of any one who isn't the bride.
This attention seeking behavior is why if I ever get married, My aunt is NEVER invited. I don't care what she says or what my cousins say. She already ruined my graduation by leaving, taking my only cousin with her, and then starting shit with my mom. I havent talked to her since, nor do I want to.

Simple solution... They can either 1-Behave reasonably or 2-Leave!

If they are too lazy to self-advocate then they get what they deserve.

A lot of doormats in this video.

My mother died ten years before I got married, and I missed her being there.
A lot of these women did the same things, pretty much. Is there a playbook for momzilla shenanigans?

FYI there’s a glitch at about the 30 minute mark
How on earth are people just allowing these people to do what they're doing? Just why?
What video do you use for the background

Whinged that I looked better than her
I was the bride
Is it repeated a lot?
