Mother in law drama and maid of honor drama

Priscilla, on August 22, 2019 at 1:18 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 1 8

Anyone going through Mother in law and maid of honor drama? I am trying to get past mother in law and maid of honor drama/family drama.Long story but me and my fiance live in a different state from his family and they do not approve.We are getting married in their state.Right now Mother in law and maid of honor do not want to talk to me and are ignoring me.Simply because my maid of honor/fiance's brothers girlfriend is jealous that we are getting married and that she is not.Her and mother in law live together.My mother in law is not talking to me because she is bitter that we are getting married and that we live in a different state.Other than this drama me and my fiance are growing stronger and excited for our wedding day!

    I would get a different maid of honor! Don't show them that this childish behavior is ok. And have your FH talk to his mom and tell her to stop the drama or she isn't allowed to come.

    We all do what we feel we need to for our families but I would have FH get involved and discuss this behavior with his family. If they can't be supportive, maybe they shouldn't be there. If you're working hard to have your wedding where they are, their presence should be complete and supportive.

    I agree with this 100%. Act like that then you don’t need to be in the bridal party and you can be a guest like everyone else or if you can’t stop and behave don’t come at all. You don’t want that drama& negativity that close to you the morning of your wedding while you’re getting ready and you really don’t want all that negativity standing right next to you during the wedding or at the wedding period. She may ruin some pictures by looking miserable there.
    Good luck! Hope this helps some! 😊

    Kick her out of the bridal party. Then distance yourself from them as much as possible. Give them information when they ask, but don't go out of your way to make sure they are included unless they change their attitude.

    Sorry you have to deal with that. Weddings seem to oddly bring out the worst in some people.

    What if the maid of honor is my brothers girlfriend.She also lives with my mother in law where our couples shower will be held.She is best friends with half the family including an aunt that does not approve of us living in a different state.Wedding is in 29 days If I kick her out would this cause further damage for the wedding day and in the future??

    Also please do not attack me on this but she kept implying how jealous she was of me at my bachelorette party and blamed me by saying I stole her makeup bag and had her son ask if I basically stole his moms make up bag and a couple weeks later she is pregnant.She has an 8 year old and would say that shes done having kids before this and is on birth control.However we just had our child who is 8 months old.Her child has been the only child in the family before our daughter.I am feeling like her getting pregnant suddenly plays into her jealously.Again this is just my thoughts because of how she is acting.LIke she got pregnant so the spot light is on her.The mother in law called right when she got a positive pregnancy test and told us that my maid of honor is pregnant.Also I dont want it to seem that I kicked her out due to her being pregnant.I am happy for her and excited that my daughter has more cousins on the way .....but something doesn't feel right. with her behavior =.....

    They sound like a real treat..... what a petty thing to be upset about. I agree with others, get a different MOH.

    I would definitely not have her as my MOH. Your FH needs to address his mother. If she is ignoring you and not supportive of your relationship and upcoming wedding, then she doesn't have to attend. You don't need that negative energy from anyone on your special day, even if it's blood. Families don't get to be disrespectful and get away with it. If they don't like it, they don't have to attend. Wishing the best for youSmiley heart
