I got bouncers to turf out my mum-in-law from my WEDDING after she wore white – she told me I ‘didn’t own the colour’
WE’VE all heard the horrendous stories about mother-in-laws, but what would you do if yours turned up to your wedding reception wearing white?
That’s exactly what happened to one woman, who had to enlist the help of security to have her mother-in-law forcibly removed from her reception.
Posting on Reddit’s Am I the Asshole thread, the 27-year-old bride explained that she and her future mother-in-law didn’t usually talk much but “weren’t enemies either”.
She had already explained that she wouldn’t be able to make the ceremony, but “promised she would make” the reception
Celebrating their marriage, the bride and groom were on the dancefloor “with a bunch of our friends singing dancing and having a very good time” at the reception when her new mother-in-law made her big entrance – wearing white!
“I looked away I was so p****d she walked up to us and talked like normal,” the woman recalled, adding that she quickly told her to “go change”.
Her request was met by a roll of the eyes by her new relative, at which point her husband stepped in and said that “only the bride was supposed to wear white”.
“She had the nerve to smile and say, ‘Well she doesn’t own the colour so I can wear it’,” the bride fumed.
That response didn’t go down too well with the bride and groom, as she concluded: “Security escorted her out and we continued with the wedding.”

Asking whether or not she was in the wrong by having her mother-in-law removed, the woman divided opinion among Reddit users.
“She was wanted to be both provocative and disrespectful, she also wanted to grab attention to her,” one person reasoned. “Having her escorted out is a perfectly fine way of dealing with her actions, plus it gave her the attention she craved. Kicking her out was a win-win all around.”
And another added: “She knew exactly what she was doing and did it to start a fight. You handled it well: had security take her out and continued to have fun. Good on you!”
However, another person argued: “If you looked great in your dress what anyone else wears shouldn’t be an issue. Honestly you’re almost 30 and behaving like you’re in your terrible twos… Throwing out your new husband’s mom using security is… well you got the attention you wanted in white, in spades.”
