How to deal with your mother in law from hell on your wedding day? My fiancé also agrees that his mom is losing it and she has been horrible during this whole wedding planning process. I don’t want to have to think about her or have her ruin my day.

Fiancé must rein her in. It’s his job exclusively.

I will add… that doesn’t mean he should have an ultimatum conversation or a confrontational conversation. For some that works great and kinda scares them straight for others it just makes them dig their heals in more. Think about which gets you the least amount of drama on the day. You have the rest of your lives to set boundaries and make a point - prioritize getting your needs met on the day.

Also avoid her. Do the pictures and make sure your siblings/his or her partner/relative will keep her occupied and out of your hair. Would rec her not being in hair and makeup w you, or she goes very first and has the day to do her own thing

My plan is to keep her busy. If she’s occupied with other things or people she doesn’t have a chance to get into trouble… I hope. Good luck!!
