'My mother-in-law was so awful on our wedding day that my husband cried'
A stressful wedding day can dampen a bride or groom's mood - and the experience can be made a lot worse by difficult relatives. One bride said she was left raging after her mother-in-law had made her husband cry during their nuptials.
The woman said she'd been shocked when her mother-in-law had refused to speak to her and her son and was 'sulking' through the intimate ceremony. To make matters worse, she criticised the food they served at the venue and failed to smile in any one of their wedding photos.
Taking to Reddit, she wrote: "My partner and I got married last Saturday and his mum ended up making him cry on his wedding day because of her sulking, not speaking to us, and general demeanor on the day. He was visibly upset throughout the day and it ruined our wedding."
"We arrive for our wedding super happy then as we sit up to sign the papers in the ceremony I clock her. So miserable not making any eye contact. She's a witness who comes up and scribbles a signature and says 'congratulations' In a huff sits down again. My mum is stood there shocked whilst she signed the other signature. No photos were taken of this due to how quick she was to get it done."
She continued: "After the ceremony she sits sulking in the garden. My partner is visibly upset and doesn't know why she's upset, ask her if she's OK she says she's fine. The meal was the most uncomfortable thing... she walked around the room until she had to sit down on the top table with us at the last minute. [She] makes a comment about the food 'Oh guess I'll be veggie as it won't be halal' despite us making sure all the food was halal and saying in advance.. asking why she is sitting next to the groom and not his dad. Not speaking to my parents, not smiling in any photos.."
'I'm spending £20k on a new bathroom - but won't help my brother out with cash'
The upset bride said she had a cold encounter with her mother-in-law after she came round to see her to drop off flowers. She said they had a brief exchange, with her partner's mother only asking about seating arrangements for the wedding. She added: "No comment of how am I feeling, make up looks nice etc. She just asks me to change the seating plan so his uncle can be on a different table. I inform her I can't deal with that right now as its the wedding day and to speak to her son. Probably a bit abruptly..."
She ended the post by saying she doesn't think she can 'forgive' her mother-in-law for how she made her and her partner feel at their wedding and asked people whether she is being unreasonable. One social media user reassurred the bride and said said: "There's nothing a narcissist likes better than to ruin a special day. It's their favourite thing. I'm sorry it ruined your day." They added: "The very best thing both of you could do is to cut her off completely but I'm guessing you're some way off from that. In the meantime I suggest you both do some research on narcissistic mothers so you know what you're dealing with."
Another person agreed, adding "She will repeat this or similar behavior any time she feels like she's not getting enough attention. Your husband has been groomed to not 'rock the boat'. You may or may not ever get him to understand this." A third person chimed: "I'm sorry you had to go through that but at least now you know her true face."
