Pipe down, Brenda

Today, my soon-to-be mother-in-law decided that she is going to be in charge of planning my wedding. All decisions must be approved by her, and anything she doesn't like will be thrown out. She also wants to go on our honeymoon with us to make sure I don't "defile" her son. FML

If she shares a room with you guys to make sure you don't "defile" her son, do it. And be as loud as humanly possibly

Oh hell no! Show that Texan in you and tell your FMIL just exactly how things will go. My FMIL isn't involved in planning my wedding at all and I love it like that. My future husband and I stopped asking her opinion when all she could do is shoot down everything we showed her but she hasn't ever supported our relationship which is a whole nother story itself but I would tell her straight up it MY wedding NOT hers and I don't want her opinion and I'm not going to ask it I'm a grown adult and she can't force me. And either keep the honeymoon destination a secret or send her to one place and y'all go to a completely different location and then if she figures it out and still shows up on the honeymoon have her escorted off the property. Also talk to your FFIL about all this. There's no way mine would let my FMIL get away with all this surely yours won't either. Good luck girl. Tell that Monster-In-Law what's what!!

She's probably not even offering to pay for any of it. Regardless, she should have no say. Tell her to eff off.

This behavior gives insight into what she'll be like in the future, so be prepared for that. Sounds like she's going to be the invasive, controlling MIL type. Also, is this YOUR wedding, or HER wedding? Stand up for yourself and take back control of your and your finance's special day, and don't let her come on the honeymoon. If you make a stand now, maybe it'll show her you can't be pushed around.

This is why I'd probably prefer elopement. No hassle with a big-ass ceremony, and it's perfectly legal.

Buy her a pair of rubber balls- make note the balls in question you will soon own, and defile any way mutually agreed, by your self and her son..

What does the groom think of this? If he lays down for mama on this, you might want to take a step back. Your MIL isn't going to back down after the wedding.
