Planning both your wedding and reception can be a stressful time for everyone, especially the bride and her mother-in-law. The bride is focused on trying to make every thing perfect and the mother-in-law has her own stresses in that she does not want to overstep her bounds yet she wants to be involved.

When it comes time for a wedding, mothers and sons have an incredible bond, unlike any other time in their life. This is a time when your future mother-in-law is going to be dealing with letting go of her "baby boy", to be with another woman. Then you add in the stress that she now realizes her son is gone, forever. Deep in her heart, she knows that her son will be giving his focus to his new bride. This is a wonderful time of joy and love but it is also a time of separation.

Your future mother-in-law may put on a brave face and then have a time of crying when she gets home. On the other hand, you could have a future mother-in-law that handles things much differently. Perhaps she becomes rude and obnoxious. Unfortunately, some women do act that way as a means of putting up a wall so they do not feel any pain. Regardless of how your mother-in-law responds, be patient and understanding. While this may be difficult, be sure to be kind and not add to her poor behavior. You cannot pick who your mother-in-law will be so just love her no matter how she acts.

There is one strategy that is very helpful - be kind. Have you ever heard the saying, "kill them with kindness?" It actually words and could make your wedding far more enjoyable for the other guests. Ask her to go to lunch with you a few days before the wedding so the two of you can have some one-on-one time. After the wedding, be sure to send her a special thank you for her help. Although you may not understand her feelings all the way, you can be thankful that she raised such a wonderful man who just became your husband. Let her know that you appreciate her and her son.
