She’s Considering Barring Her Mother-In-Law From Her Wedding Since She’s Trying To Control The Planning Process
A lot of women have had to deal with controlling mother-in-laws who tend to try and dictate what their sons can and cannot do.
But can you imagine if your future mother-in-law told you that you weren’t allowed to plan your own wedding?
One woman recently upset her future mother-in-law after putting her foot down and telling her she had no right to control any aspects of her wedding planning.
She’s 22 and is starting to plan her wedding to her fiance. Well, she’s trying to at least.
Her future mother-in-law is a very controlling woman who enjoys telling her son what to do.
“Up until he was 17, she would choose what clothes he wore, and made all decisions for him, and refused to let him choose by himself,” she said.
“She told him multiple times as a teen that she would be planning his wedding and that whoever he found would ‘just have to be fine with that.’ Well, I’m not.”
Like most girls, she’s been looking forward to planning her own wedding for some time now. But as soon as her fiance proposed, his mom has been trying to control the entire process, planning their wedding as if it was hers and barking orders.
Toward the beginning of the planning process, her fiance’s mom told her where she needed to have her wedding and sent her a few wedding dress styles to “choose from.”

Immediately, she told her future mother-in-law that since she was the one getting married, she’d be the one doing the planning. She then told her mother-in-law she had no right to control it.
Her mother-in-law was very upset and told her she wasn’t allowing her to “live out her dream.” Despite her mother-in-law’s delusions, she continued planning on her own.
Recently, her mother-in-law lost it after she told her she didn’t want any guests taking their own pictures during the wedding ceremony and that the photographer should be the only one doing that. This is so everyone can be present in the moment. Then, at the reception, people could use their phones and take their own pictures as they pleased.
“She was absolutely furious and said that I was insane and that she would not be following my wishes,” she recalled.
“She’s gone no contact for the past few days, despite me trying multiple times to explain. I have a feeling she’s never going to let me have the day how I want it. At this point, I’m considering telling her that if she can’t accept my wedding for how it is, then she doesn’t need to attend.”
She already knows her mother-in-law will cause some chaos on her wedding day, so she figured she needed to start being assertive. But after seeing how she’s reacted, she’s wondering if she was being too harsh.
Was she too harsh with her mother-in-law, or was she simply setting boundaries?
