Mother in law drama

By the way, she stood completely in front of him.

That's pretty strange lol, and my FMIL is extremely emotional. She has 4 boys and hasn't done that at any of their weddings.

Seeing that your wedding has passed, I'd try and move forward from it. Was is odd and not really appropriate timing for her to do that? Sure. But I wouldn't dwell on it because there's nothing you can do about it now. Unless she continues to try and make important moments in your life all about her, I wouldn't bring it up.

That is definitely an odd move on her part. I think you certainly have every right to be irritated. Maybe she wanted one last moment with him before he officially married you? In any case, she was wrong to do that. I would try to move past it if possible, since there's nothing that can really be done to change it now. You mentioned that your husband didn't see anything wrong with it, but I'm sure he would have been annoyed if, in the middle of your husband saying his vows to you (or other important part of the ceremony), your dad came up to you to check on you and make sure you were OK. Going forward, you and your husband should discuss what boundaries to set with her and what to do if she crosses them.

Definitely not okay, but from the sound of your post, it also doesn’t sound out of character either. If your FH sees nothing his mother ever does as wrong and refuses to set boundaries with her, this is likely the first of many annoying things she’ll do in your marriage.

That is just really...off behavior. I’m sure the guests were wondering what was going on. Or they expected her to be inappropriate because that’s her standard.
I’d keep her at a big distance. She will probably ramp up this behavior if you have kids. Your husband should be putting up firm boundaries.

Did anyone else say anything to you? Like why did his mom walk in front of his face while you were walking down the aisle?

View Quoted Comment Yes! Tons of people.

Your Mother in law seems very Narcissistic. In my opinion what she did was very rude and strange

She might have wanted to walk him down the aisle, settled for this. Be glad she did.

I have just one thing to say: What??!?! It's one thing to maybe give a bizarre toast at the reception, but barging in through the ceremony like that is just tactless and rude. Your husband is a grown man; he can walk himself down an aisle. If it had been the beginning of the ceremony, and he was walking his mom to her seat, as I've seen many grooms do, that would be one thing, but this is a whole other thing. Just out of curiosity, how has she treated you in general since you and your husband have been together? Has she made it a habit of butting in when she shouldn't? Also, is your husband by any chance the youngest child, only son, or only child, for that matter? My fiance is the youngest AND the only boy, and his mom had him later in life, so whether he admits it or not, he's the poster child for mama's boys. Sometimes his mom can overstep her boundaries, but I seriously doubt she'll pull anything like this at our wedding. I'm sorry that happened, and I hope maybe you and your MIL can talk about it after some time has passed.

This is so bizarre and definitely wrong. I'm actually more concerned that your husband stuck up for his mom doing this.

Since the groom did not think it out of bounds, within his family it may have been sweet, give him a kiss and send him down the aisle. I would not have chosen it. But if my MIL had spoken up and said, I want to stand up at my seat as he goes by, give him a few words and a quick kiss, we would all have said, heck, why not. I don't see anything offensive about it. These days you see 10 or more variations on who walks the bride, including relay style where 2-3 people each do a section, so it would seem just 1 more thing people want to do. And it makes sense. Usually the FOB walks her to the altar, and gives her a kiss, while a groom waits, and I have never heard of that as interfering with the the bride and groom's moment, ever. Let it go.

I would have been very upset. You can’t do anything about the past ....but this is your warning sign. I would set extremely clear boundaries and not waiver or give in. She put herself directly between you and your husband. That is just ridiculous. She needs to understand that he is now married and the most important woman in her son’s life is his wife.
