Bride sparks fierce debate after claiming her 'attention-seeking' mother-in-law tried to RUIN her wedding day

A bride has sparked fierce debate after claiming her 'attention-seeking' mother-in-law tried to ruin her wedding day.

The unnamed woman took to Reddit's popular JustNoMILs thread to unravel the details of the family feud.

She told readers to 'buckle in' as she explained how her husband's mom had criticized every part of the process - before then insisting she no longer wanted a relationship with the lovebirds.

And other users on the discussion forum flooded to the comments to share their own thoughts on the strained dynamic.

The unnamed woman took to Reddit's popular JustNoMILs thread to unravel the details of the family feud 

In the post, which was uploaded earlier this month, the woman began by describing her mother-in-law as the 'type of person who loves attention, whether it is bad or good, and cannot stand when someone else has the spotlight.'

She explained: 'Leading up to this past weekend, my MIL wanted to wear a very light beige/white lace dress to the wedding - which my husband vetoed. 

'That was a HUGE deal - saying she didn't want to come to our wedding and that I was "not making a good start to an in-law relationship," mind you that I've been with her son eight years so our relationship has already begun. 

'She also said my husband should not marry me - lol.'

The exasperated woman continued: 'Fast forward to the rehearsal dinner. My MIL and FIL (who is just a saint actually) paid for the rehearsal dinner. 

'She told everyone and her mother how she paid $1,200 for the rehearsal dinner, after vetoing multiple resultants and choosing the cheapest option farthest from where we were staying. 

'She said it multiple times in her speech. My parents very graciously offered to pay for my now husband and I's wedding, never even spoke about it or bragged.

'The entire rehearsal dinner she sat and pouted. In her speech she said "DIL I hope you're not offended, but this day is about husband so I did not mention you! Tomorrow's your day."

'In her speech she blamed me for my husband not calling as frequently once we met and that she has lost her son to me - I have never once discouraged him from speaking to her so I'm not sure what she's talking about.'

Next up, the bride began to dish on the wedding day itself.

'She came into my wedding suite when I was in my dress, to which I said "hello!!" with a huge grin on my face - she locked eyes with me and walked right past me. 

'The entire time did not compliment me, but complimented all of my bridesmaids. She ruined my husband and hers first look because "she didn't want to wait for a photographer," then complained they had no single photos of them two even though I arranged the first look for them. 

'She was complaining about the family photo time saying she wanted to join the cocktail hour because there was "people there who wanted to talk with her" - to which I told her she is more than welcome to go and that we were right on schedule.

'She sat in the yard chair by herself and pouted with her arms crossed. At the start of the ceremony she thanked my husband's side sitting for supporting my husband as "his side was light" due to the fact of her forcing us to invite distant relatives and 30+ didn't show.'

But the frosty relations did still not thaw later on in the evening. 

'Now to the mother and son dance - she had everything choreographed with twirls and romance which was absolutely odd. During all speeches she talked extremely loudly and complained when my dad was "taking too long."'

The following day the mother-in-law was still complaining about the DJ and the photographer 'to anyone who would listen.'

The bride's parents had decided to host a brunch in the morning before guests departed which proved to be more hassle than it was worth.

'She then hissed at my mom for "not enough food being there for her family" as my mother is slaving over the stove.

'My husband had told her to stop four times until she said "bad news, no more food!" when new guests had arrived (there was an island full of food). I turned quickly and said "enough please" as my mother is almost in tears.

'My husband says "mom you're being insulting" while whispering in her ear away from everyone. Boy did we f**k up.

'She walked to the front porch and sat there for hours claiming we had "banished her from the inside."

'She told her entire family I told her to "shut up" and her son supported me by saying "yeah mom shut up."

'She loves being the victim - my husband believes that's her happy place. She blew everything out of proportion - left and didn't thank my parents - manipulated the situation to make my husband and I look like the trouble makers.'

The petty squabble had since seen other family members weigh in - insisting the newlyweds apologize.

The woman concluded: 'I feel like my wedding weekend was stolen by her as her attitude and drama was all anyone could talk about. My husband cried. Just so many negative emotions.

'Now I'm forever stuck with her, but my husband is worth it. How do I navigate this??? I do not want a relationship with her, but the rest of the family is normal and I love more than anything. The memory of my wedding is tainted. I'm trying to be positive but it's hard.'

The Reddit post was soon flooded with advice on how to navigate the fraught relationship as one person wrote: 'You go low contact. 

'Have a plan with your husband that always starts, and ends with supporting each other. Then stay calm and stick to the plan (especially when that plan is leaving).'

A second person added: 'Raised by narcissist subreddit. She is a narcissist. It won't get better. Make sure your husband gets therapy and focus on your journey together. Continue no contact.'

Another commented: 'The good news is that you're not actually stuck with her. You don't have to have a relationship with her in any way. Make plans to see the rest of his family without her. In five years, renew your vows, and have a new wedding without her.'

Someone else dished: 'Another person added: 'You and husband should cut contact with her, or at least go very low contact. You don't need a relationship with her - she's not the one you married. I think your husband should attend therapy to help himself.'
