“I helped a bride (a coworker from my old job) get the wedding she wanted, not her MIL’s. I told the bride I could only help sort her MIL and mama’s boy groom out for the wedding, but not for the marriage. I pointed out that MIL would get involved with everything in their marriage, and the groom would side with his mum. I also told her about the multiple red flags I saw in their (bride and groom) relationship. I advised her not to marry the mama’s boy before it was too late. The bride believed that the second they said, ‘I do,’ the groom would change from mama’s boy to the perfect husband. Their marriage lasted six months.”

“This is what the bride told me was the final straw: The couple was having their honeymoon a few months after the wedding. The bride had points to upgrade their flight tickets to first class. The bride was caught off-guard by seeing her MIL at the airport. The groom said he and his mum would fly first class, and the bride could fly economy. Then, the groom brought up their hotel arrangements. He said he and his mum would be in a honeymoon suite, and the bride would be in a single bedroom.”
