In-Law Wedding Wars: A Tale of Two Mothers | Real Love

[@susanhaddad950]

The black, red & white theme will go great with salsa music. Latin dancing is part of classic ballroom dancing too. Good save.

[@drsylvietourigny5428]

I am old enough to be the bride's grandmother, and I love classical music. Whilst it is great for church, I think it really puts a damper on the reception once the meal is complete. Let's face it, it's not the kind of entertainment that gets people mixing!

[@rosaliejohnson1257]

The bride’s mother is absolutely ridiculous. It’s a wedding, not a sweet sixteen birthday party. Grow up lady.

[@MM-zg4bc]

I think both mothers have forgotten about the most important thing. The children’s happiness. It is their wedding not the self-centred mothers.

Tbf I think it’s both of them that focused on looks. That’s all she was talking about too. They both feel pretty superficial imho and he feels kinda like he owns her not that he’s his fiancé … she can’t even think for herself or even choose her clothes like wut … I don’t see their marriage lasting too long tbh

They both are trying to have their "own" dream wedding. They should be thinking about what their kids' dream wedding would be.

[@jessicabenavides573]

Two of my sons are engaged. My rule for their weddings were simple; 1) my boys needed to compromise with their fiancé on location because we are better able to travel for the weddings than the fiancé (s) families so the boys need to ensure convenient locations for their in laws if that is a high priority to fiancé. 2) No being stubborn on colors, offer their input, then smile and wear whatever. 3) it is ultimately about The bride and groom - if anyone is insisting on certain people attending, decor, clothing, food etc…. Remember if they aren’t paying, if it’s not your vibe, if you don’t want it say no…. 4) if anyone gives you any issues give them my number- it’s you guys wedding period. It is about bride- groom- your important guests- and you guys vision…. Period! This momma bear is simply the enforcer of that. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I just can’t be imposing on their day beyond those rules honestly.

[@stephanielong2674]

Aww.. Iiss my mom. She passed away Dec 2012 tell your boys that they better enjoy momma being momma bear for as long as they have you. They will miss it. Lol but respect to you for making sure the bride to be is respected and making sure that her family can attend by making sure the place is closer to them then you. Also making sure that your boys help the bride to be on choosing stuff and making sure they go to the apts that they need to be at. Congrats on having a new daughter coming into the family. Blessings to them an I hope they have a perfect wedding. Remind them tho that some things happen and can't change it they just got to laugh it off an just enjoy their day. It's ok. They will look back an laugh about it 20 yrs from now. The brides to be ate getting a amazing momma in law. They are very lucky. You enjoy the day as well. Your little boys are now men.

[@sarahhumphreys3980]

I love Ana's mum's idea of having salsa, merengue and cha cha music and cocktails at the reception though. Sounds like fun. If they tastefully mash the two themes together it would be a brilliant wedding. Like wearing a traditional dress and a violin for the church and the sexy dress and Latin music for the reception.

[@charlie1567]

Perfectly agree, if the mothers could have agreed on a 2 piece dress with an over-skirt, she would have had both styles. I mean look at her, 90 percent of this video (and I assume in daily life) she wore short dresses and her husband said “if it’s too long , I get scissors “...how could the MIL overhear that?

[@melissaadrian8591]

Agree. so many of the weddings on this show could be a great mix if done right. Keep stuffy formal for ceremony spirited reception to follow. Classic music I love but for reception you need fun. This wedding could have been such an amazing blend

My husband and I considered our parents and their guests when we married. It's paid off...we've been married for 39 years. All of our parents are now dead except for my mother, but all of them enjoyed each other's company even without my husband and I present.

[@gypsyrobin]

Wedding Planner's first rule to the Bride is to hand control of her wedding over to one of the couple's mother's. Bride's response, hon, you're out of your mind. And you're not fired because I'm not hiring you. Thanks but no thanks. Who does such an insane thing with a wedding?

Nothing says class like a postage stamp dress and piñatas for a wedding. The strings are nice for the ceremony, but a huge buzz kill for the reception. The grooms mother with her “vision”, and the brides mom with her “style”...iDK who was the worst.

This show is weird. The grooms mom told the brides mom that she doesn’t really know her own daughter while she’s completely ignored her own son and soon to be daughter in laws wishes.. they’re both crazy asf but I really don’t like the grooms mom and her vision. At least the brides mom knows of their taste and style and takes it into consideration… even if it is her own as well.

[@courtneymitchell8439]

I'm sorry but the brides mother is mutton dressed as lamb unable to accept that she is aging and trying to force her daughter to stay a party girl like her. The brides mothers ideas are great for say a 21st or 30th birthday party, but not a wedding. The grooms mothers ideas are a little boring, but at least it is more suitable to a wedding.

Too bad the mother's can't compromise & are too wrapped up in having their own ideas.

No reason the bride couldn't wear the gown for the ceremony & change into the short dress -NOT the tacky one, but the classy flirty one from the bridal shop. Evey single issue could have been massaged. What the moms didn't hesr was "we like parts of BOTH visions"

[@mywihousehunter]

The bride has no personality. She just does whatever the groom wants, she can't even decide what to wear, she has to be told what to wear. They both care about how they look, what happens when they get old - what will they have left that they actually like

[@southerngypsy1894]

The groom's mom has a higher standard. God forbid a woman wears a wedding dress that "fits" and the bride doesn't have her breasts on display. As far as compromise goes? The groom's mother won the contest.... Technically she didn't have to compromise at all, but the brides mother was such a whiney, manipulative, cry baby that she was willing to compromise on the music and cake.

My parents lived far away - they only attended the wedding and arrived 2 days before our wedding. I planned everything and was in total control with my future husband. The moment any family members interfere - it is always a total disaster!

[@rosemarykriegel3226]

My mother was along with me giving me tips on my wedding and I valued her opinions highly since she knew our family friends more than I did. Many people at my wedding had known my parents from before I was even born. My husband's older siblings had all eloped so his parents were greatly excited about our wedding, too, and having their extended family attend from out of state. All we wanted was for our parents to have a great time and to get to know each other. Thirty-nine years later and three of our parents and half of our wedding guests are dead. We did it right for our situation.

More important is the fact that weddings are about brides and grooms equally. They must think about the bride and the groom.

Also, latin countries (Spain, Italy, France, Mexico, Brazil etc) are very similar: white dress, church, black suit, cake, food, roses, etc. The theme of "sexy latin party" (= stereotypes that many anglosaxon people have when abglosaxon people think about latin culture...It's like a disguise) is not what most latin people want and it isn't what most latin people think when they think about the concept of latin wedding
