One horror story could be when the mother - in - law completely took over the wedding planning without consulting the couple. She chose a hideous color scheme that the couple hated but felt pressured to accept. It made the whole wedding look like it was her day, not the couple's.
Well, there was this case where a mother - in - law tried to control every aspect of her son and daughter - in - law's life. She would barge into their house unannounced, rearrange their furniture according to her taste, and even tried to tell them how to raise their children. It was a nightmare for the couple as they had no privacy and constantly felt undermined in their own family decisions.
Bridesmaids could have a horrible time with the hair and makeup trials. The stylist might not listen to their preferences and give them a look that they hate. For example, they might end up with a really over - the - top hair style that doesn't suit them at all. Also, during the preparation of the wedding favors, if the bridesmaids are in charge and something goes wrong with the production or the ingredients, they are left to deal with the mess. And if the bridesmaids are supposed to learn a special dance for the wedding but the choreographer is really bad, it can be a nightmare for them.
The over - critical type is one of the worst. They find fault in everything from cooking to how you dress. It can make you feel constantly on edge in your own home.
Set boundaries clearly. In a case where the mother - in - law is over - involved in your life, like constantly dropping by unannounced, let her know that you need your own space. You can say something like 'We love having you visit, but it would be great if you could call before coming over.' It might be a bit difficult at first, but it's important for a healthy relationship. Also, involve your spouse. Your partner should support you and talk to their mother about the issues too.
One horror story could be when the mother - in - law constantly interfered during the birth process. She might have ignored the mother's wishes about pain management, like insisting on natural birth when the mother wanted an epidural. This added so much stress to the mother during labor.
Well, I heard a story where the matchmaker promised a lot but delivered very little. They said they had this perfect match for a person, but when they finally met, it turned out that the matchmaker had lied about some basic things like the person's educational background. This led to a very awkward and quickly ended relationship.
One horror story is when the Postmates driver got completely lost and took over an hour extra to deliver a simple meal. By the time it arrived, the food was cold and inedible. Another time, a customer's package was delivered to the wrong address, and it took days to sort out the mess. And there was also a case where the driver was rude to the customer when they asked about the delay.
One recruiter horror story is when a recruiter promised a high - paying job with great benefits. But when the candidate showed up for the interview, it was for a completely different, much lower - level position. The recruiter had misrepresented the job just to get the candidate in the door.
A really bad situation was when the florist delivered the wrong flowers entirely. Instead of the elegant white roses and lilies the bride wanted, there were bright orange and purple daisies. The wedding planner had to try and fix this. They first tried to contact the florist to see if they could replace them, but the florist was uncooperative. So the planner had to drive around town to different florists to buy the correct flowers and then arrange them in time for the wedding.
Well, one horror story could be when the mother - in - law constantly criticized how the house was kept. She would come over unannounced and start pointing out every little mess, making my friend feel like she was never good enough as a homemaker.
