My future MIL had spent months trying to control our wedding, but I honestly thought the worst was behind us. <\/strong>Then I came home one afternoon and found something that made it impossible to keep pretending her behavior was harmless.<\/h1>\n

My future mother-in-law, Mavis, had opinions about our wedding before Ryan had even officially proposed.<\/p>\n

When he showed her the ring he planned to buy, she said, \u201cIt\u2019s lovely, but have you checked whether she\u2019d prefer a larger stone?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ryan came home and told me about it wearing the exhausted expression of a man who had just survived a three-hour meeting.<\/p>\n

I laughed.<\/p>\n

At the time.<\/p>\n

Once we were actually engaged, Mavis treated the wedding like a project she\u2019d somehow been appointed to manage.<\/p>\n

She hated the flowers because white roses were \u201ctoo funeral.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy can\u2019t you just add a few tables?\u201d she asked one Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause the room has a maximum capacity,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaximum according to whom?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fire department.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mavis stared at me.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople always use that excuse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan nearly choked on his coffee.<\/p>\n

Then came the guest list.<\/p>\n

That was where everything got worse.<\/p>\n

Ryan and I had agreed early on that we wanted fewer than one hundred guests. We were paying for most of the wedding ourselves, and neither of us wanted to spend the evening greeting people we barely knew.<\/p>\n

One night, Mavis arrived at our apartment carrying a handwritten list.<\/p>\n

\u201cEighteen people,\u201d she announced.<\/p>\n

Ryan looked down at the paper.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho are these people?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFamily.\u201d<\/p>\n

He pointed at one name.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho\u2019s Dennis?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYour second cousin.\u201d<\/p>\n
