My fiancée’s mom thinks this wedding is hers.

I (28F) am getting married next spring to my fiancé (30M), and I swear his mom already thinks this wedding is hers. Like… I don’t even know how to explain it anymore without sounding dramatic, but she’s taking over everything.

It started with her dress. She called me up all excited to say she found “the one” and asked if I wanted to see it. I was thinking navy or champagne or literally anything normal for a mother of the groom. 

Nope.

She pulls it out and it’s a full-length, sparkly, ivory gown with beading and a tulle bottom. Like a wedding dress. I literally went, “Oh wait. Is that for the ceremony?” And she just goes, “Isn’t it stunning? It’s elegant and timeless for the big day.”

I told her (very nicely, btw) that it might be confusing to have someone else in white and maybe we could look at other options. She immediately got defensive and said I was being controlling and “jealous.” Of what? Her wearing bridal cosplay at my wedding??

Then a week later, she sends me a spreadsheet. I’m thinking maybe vendor ideas or something helpful. Nope. It’s a guest list… of 60 people. SIXTY.

I recognized maybe three names. When I told her we didn’t have the room or budget for that many extras, she just goes, “I’ll pay for them!” First of all, she’s not. Second of all, she can’t. She doesn’t even have a job and is behind on rent.

And now the Facebook posts. Oh my god.

She made this huge photo slideshow titled “Our Wedding Journey Begins” and I’m barely in it. It’s all her.

Pics of her at the venue, holding floral swatches, talking to vendors like she hired them, even a picture of her holding a bouquet saying “this is the one!”

The captions are all “I’ve waited so long for this moment,” “So proud to be planning something so magical,” “I just know it’s going to be unforgettable.”

What the fuck is she talking about?

My fiancé just sighs and says, “That’s just how she is.”
He’s used to her steamrolling everything. I’m not.
This isn’t just a few annoying moments. It’s like she’s trying to live out her own wedding fantasy through mine.

She’s not walking down the aisle, but she’s acting like she is.

Pray for me. I’m honestly scared to see what she pulls the day of.

She’s being manipulative as hell and honestly creepy.
