My MIL PUSHED MY MOM INTO THE MUD on my wedding! The wedding ceremony Ben and I planned was supposed to be by a lake. My mom Donna spent months helping me plan. She’s the kindest person you could ever meet and people liked her. That was apparently enough to make my MIL, Karen, furious. Karen is one of those women who treats attention like oxygen — and if someone else gets it, she suffocates. From the beginning of the wedding day, Karen made snide comments.

He looked at my mom, covered in mud, then at Karen, and then said, low and steady, “Everyone, please take a look at Karen.” ⬇️

My wedding day by the lake was meant to be magical — soft breezes, golden sunset, and the people we loved most around us. My mom, who had supported every step of the planning, looked radiant and joyful, soaking in the moment. My mother-in-law, however, seemed unsettled from the moment she arrived. Small comments and…
