Mothers in Law

There have been many jokes penned about MIL; many secret stories told in hushed whispers; and many marriages in shambles because of MIL's and their refusal to let go of their sons.
I have my own stores to tell, so I usually let them all go with a knowing nod, but when a MIL oversteps her boundaries in a very obviously way during one of my weddings, the buck stops with me!
I have one such bride in tears because the mother in law hates everything; the flowers, the colors, the menu cards, the place cards, the invitations, the guest list, the dresses, etc. She is syrupy sweet to my face, but once I go home, katie-barr-the-door, it is an all out get down and dirty fest against the bride and her mother. A regular bitchfest as the MOB so glumly puts it.

I feel incredibly sad that this goes on. My advice? MIL's if you want to plan a wedding so bad, become an event planner and make someone else's life miserable---leave my bride alone!
