After The Bride’s Mother-In-Law Freaked Out Before The Wedding She Decided To Put Her In Her Place
One woman recently was a bridesmaid in her friend’s wedding but after the bride’s mother-in-law freaked out before things got underway, this bridesmaid stepped in to put her in her place.
This bridesmaid started out by explaining that the bride’s mother-in-law is notorious for being, well, not the easiest person to be around.
She verbally beats up her loved ones until they give in to what she wants, and if things do not end up going the way she plans, she ends up saying awful things to get things going her way and nobody ever does anything to stop her.
This bridesmaid has seen the mother-in-law’s behavior before at her friend’s engagement party, where the mother-in-law was making snide comments.
Anyway, fast forward to the actual wedding, and there were less than 20 attendees. Her friend and her husband-to-be really did want a tiny wedding, but her friend’s mother-in-law was upset about this, to begin with.
“As the law of the universe dictates, what could go wrong went wrong on the morning of the wedding & Bride was delayed by around 30-45 mins,” she said.
“Bride was freaking out in her room (the venue was at a house) because we could hear MIL raging to anyone who would listen (including Bride’s own parents) about how Bride was ruining the morning.”
“No one (not even the Groom’s father or sister) wanted to tell MIL to calm down or even tell her how much longer it was going to take.”
So, she figured out how much longer it would take the bride to be ready, and she made sure the groom knew how long that would actually be.

The groom really did not care but his mom sure took issue with the bride being late to her own wedding.
Her friend’s mother-in-law was in earshot as she told the groom how much longer everyone was going to have to wait, and things got ugly.
Her friend’s mother-in-law absolutely freaked out on her and started screaming about how the bride was not considerate at all.
As this was all going down, her friend’s parents were standing right there and could clearly hear all of the terrible things their daughter’s mother-in-law was saying.
Her friend’s husband-to-be did nothing to put his mom in place, so she took matters into her own hands.
“I turned to her & said in a polite (but stern) voice: I know you’re upset, but today is not about you,” she continued.
“I will not allow you to disrespect me. You can sit down, enjoy the day your son is getting married instead of causing a scene.”
“There’s a fan, food, drinks, & music for you to enjoy. You don’t need to upset yourself over this. It is being managed.”
She didn’t even let her friend’s mother-in-law reply to what she told her; she just left to go assist her friend.
For the rest of the wedding day, her friend’s mother-in-law kept her distance. She found out later that her friend’s mother-in-law had gone up to her friend and accused her of “shaming her.”
Well, the groom didn’t agree with his mom, he agreed with her, and now her friend’s mother-in-law is insisting she apologize to her.
