AITA for telling my wife to “get out of a picture my husband and I were taking at my ceremony”?
I ( 29F ) was getting married to my now- husband ( 32M), and my MIL ( 59 ) was invited to the wedding, of course. She continued to try to find a wedding gown for me even though I already had one and admittedly did. I brushed it out, as I was excited and all. She also tried to get her son to pick a large, fancy cake ( that was only 20 % cake ). He said no, as I had told him we already made all the arrangements ( music, decorations, clothing ).
Fast ahead, the day of the marriage, we had our meeting and all went great. Outstanding foods and excellent services that had an artist pull on me and my partner while we kissed. Even though I was a little upset, I did n’t think much of my MIL’s white simple dress when I saw it. To have perspective, she is the only one besides me wearing the shade.
Afterwards, when it was picture taking occasion, I was going to get a picture with my husband. We stood in front of the lens ( we had no “official” past pictures besides the love ), but my MIL walked into the picture. I politely told her to leave so that I and my father may take some photos with the professional first. She did n’t listen and stayed in anyway, and my husband did n’t say anything.
Eventually, OP provided a quick upgrade:
I did n’t have a chance to get a photo with him alone, so I took one of our photos and photocopied her out of it. My MIL texted me after I posted it on Instagram. She claimed that I am insulting and that my home comes first in anything, but that I was right that I wanted to take a picture with him by himself and that she did not. My father accuses me of being remarkable by acting this way. AITA?

It’s not too soon for an annulment. NTA.

Your Dollars was really, actually, inserting herself in a position where she was not wanted.
I’m a little surprised that the professional artist did n’t remind her, graciously– but firmly, to leave the body. Therefore, you had a photograph that was not what you wanted. You made it what you wanted. Okay, good for you. You have a few points to give her if she pulls the value cards.
1. Wearing white at a wedding (? ) truly, who does that except those who perennially need the spotlight.
2. posing in a picture where she was asked not to.
As to being’ serious’ or never… that all rests in the shipment. Setting a limit is merely drama if the other party tries to override it.
Appreciation goes both ways. Best of luck in the future.

NTA… Your ex-husband ought to have instructed his mother to take a climb. Additionally, he ought to have instructed her to switch to a different colour. You then know how your spouse will respond throughout the union. You’ve got some decisions to make.

Oof. His second woman and his mother choice, and he makes the decision. NTA.

NTA. At least one photo of you and your partner is appropriate. Your Dollars was very disrespectful to not permit that at your ceremony. Your partner deserves praise for failing to correct his mother. I’m guessing that he is her only child, or at least her “golden boy”. She has spent his entire life making sure that whatever he does appeals to her. Well, community comes second. If your spouse refuses to stand up for his home, which is now YOU AND HIM, this may cause a fight for the rest of your wedding.

NTA at all. Husband ought to have been on your side. At marriages, there are pictures with the new couple only, images with each partners ‘ parents and new partners, pictures with siblings, with parents. An overall cleaning record. MIL does n’t get to be in all of them.
Brainjacker said:
NTA but your concern here is your partner, no your MIL. He has a task managing his family, and he believes that you should not be photographed with your mother in law at your marriage because you are acting so dramatic. Good luck with that for the rest of your life.
Everyone was in OP’s favor with this one. What’s your suggestions for these brides?
