Mother of Bridezilla
Last weekend one of my BMs got married and my MOH was also her MOH, and I was a BM as well. Some of you may remember my post about my MOH having a difficult time during a DB trip due to her chronic back pain... also resulting in her not making a MOH speech at our wedding.
Anyways the BM that got married had told MOH shortly after the DB incident that she didn't need to make a MOH speech. On the day of the wedding the best man didn't make a speech, but one of the GM did. Then the MOB came to the WP table asking if any of us BMs would make a speech because MOH "didn't want to". It wasn't that she didn't want to she has horrible public speaking anxiety and on top of her pain she is uncomfortable 24/7 and sometimes she feels like crap due to her medication she has to take. All things the bride knew and understood, however her mother apparently didn't.
Then the MOB asked the entire reception if anyone would make a speech and it was really strange because everyone was confused why she was asking because she continued to ask for about 3 mins... and then the photographer made an awkward speech about how nice the families were....
If that wasn't bad enough a friend of the MOB asked the MOH's parents (they were invited, however they did not know this woman nor did she know them) if they had heard about the BM who had "a fit" at DB...
MOH is really upset because MOB is like a second mother to her and she is so hurt that she told her friends about the incident which was a very private thing that was resolved. But on top of that the friend was so classless to say something about it at the wedding to a random couple, the actual BMs (MOH) parents! MOH is also upset because she feels that when MOB was explaining the situation to her friend that it was more like she had a fit in DB as in she didn't like the style the bride picked out or something and threatened to drop out, but it was about her pain and how in pain she was and her life stressors were just piling up.
So now MOH doesn't even want to see MOB for a while because she is still pissed and she is debating if she wants to say something to the bride and/or her mother. The part that is so appalling is that this "friend" mentioned the incident to random people at the wedding?! Who does that?!
