One thing that can be expected to happen on the day of a wedding is drama, there is no doubt about it. No matter how perfect a day you envisioned in your head, there is always bound to be something going wrong during a wedding.
I think you should consider yourself lucky if you managed to get through your wedding without any uncomfortable incidents taking place between family members. Even though marriage is supposed to be a celebration of love between two people, animosity and bitterness often lurk beneath the surface.
The nightmare of a mother-in-law
On the big day, in most cases, family drama can be smoothed over, and people keep their snide remarks to themselves – most of the time. The bride’s mother-in-law interrupted the couple’s wedding vows with a hostile remark during one wedding in San Jose, California where the bride’s mother-in-law could not shut her mouth during the ceremony.
In the video, we can see the bride and groom facing one another at the altar while the bride reads her pre-written vows to each other.
Taking the vows
By the end of her letter, she tells her soon-to-be husband that she loves all of his flaws, then folds up her paper, smiling lovingly at him.
Things take a turn for the worse…
Here the ceremony breaks down, and we hear the bride’s mother in law snap,
“You won’t say my son has flaws.”
Initially, it is met with awkward laughter, but it soon escalates into something more serious. When someone tells the mother in law to leave, she shouts, “Goodbye!”
“Nooooo! I don’t have to go! The dress you’re wearing, we paid for it, so you don’t have to!”””
A mother-in-law who is unhappy
There must be something going on between the bride and her mother-in-law behind the scenes. Regardless of the reason, creating a scene on what is supposed to be the happiest day of the couple’s lives was not kind.
When the bride gets involved, chaos ensues
As everyone tells the mother-in-law to calm down, the bride somehow manages to keep her cool. According to her,
“You won’t ruin my day. “We all have flaws, and that’s why I love him.”
In response, she says,
“Yeah, you don’t have any flaws.”
Claws are out
After the bride hears this catty remark, she decides she’s had enough. As the groom watches helplessly, she steps forward and tells her mother-in-law to leave the wedding. She retorts that she won’t leave, and someone steps forward to tell her to leave. An angry woman replies:
“I’m not leaving. You’ll be arrested if you try.”
Everything was filmed by the bride’s sister
Sarah Ragsdale, the bride’s sister, shared footage of the incredibly awkward situation to TikTok. According to her:
“A few years ago, I attended my sister’s wedding. Her mother-in-law has always hated her. She’s just one of those MILs who feels my sister is taking her son away from her.”
In a second video, the son is heard saying:
“You have flaws right now. I don’t think you know how to act like an adult.”
She pushes her mother in law to her seat and says,
“Excuse me, this is not your day. She loves your son, accept it.”
She soothes her soon-to-be husband
Toward the end of the video, the bride can be seen holding the groom’s hands and whispering in his ear. Sarah said, “It’s just about us, let’s forget about her.”
When the family headed outside for pictures after the ceremony, the mother-in-law began talking again. What a nightmare wedding guest! Hope the couple was still able to enjoy their big day despite the interruptions.
Hopefully that was the end of the mother-in-law drama for the couple, but we have a feeling it was only the start of their future together.

The “MIL” should have been thrown out for causing a scene! Who agrees?
