Doncha wish your DMiL

...was a lot like THIS?

Oh God! awful awful awful awful. And I hate the mil bashing on Mumsnet and have said so, loudly, for absolute bloody years.

But I had to watch that through my fingers, cringetastic.

Op, you seem to be throwing a hissy fit that people aren't agreeing with you!

Hooda is this a video of you or someone you know? You seen disproportionately upset about people's comments.

molly if your like my ex mil , they will love you !

Good job we aren't all the same then innit, I would love to go to a wedding and see this.
And lots of people have agreed with the OP.

If it was a father-daughter dance, I bet we'd all think it was hilarious and adorable. I like it - the MIL seems cool!

tara you don't need to worry about me, I won't be on my own in a pew, I'll be surrounded by my daughters and family. Helping behind the scenes, helping them to get ready ect ... I won't be doing any lime light hogging.

It's will be my daughters and new husbands day

Like I said, each to their own, I wouldn't turn my nose up at anyone else's choices though.
P'raps your DD will want to dance with her Dad!

OMAGAWD THAT MiL IS STEALING THAT BRIDES HUBBY, ON HER DAY TOO!

srsly.

Love it! I'd have loved DMil to have done this. I bet she'd have done it too, but for the fact that DH would only just agree to a dance with me, let alone anyone else!

I thought it was lovely

It's not "the brides day" - that drives me mad - it's about two people committing to each other and everyone else witnessing, celebrating and supporting that amazing pledge

If my MIL did that at my wedding I think it was awesome - a real celebration - her showing her support for our marriage

And it shows she has a sense of humor - good for her!

The more I see of Mumsnet, the more I realise I got this whole wedding lark completely wrong. As I remember it I spent the whole day thinking how wonderful it was that I was going to get to spend the rest of my life with this wonderful person.

When I should have been thinking:

is my MIL going to upstage me?

are the bridesmaids going to upstage me?

are all the wedding guests colour coordinated to set me off in the best possible light?

is there a risk that during the course of the day my path might cross that of another bride, thus reminding me that I am not the only person in the world on my speshul day?

are there any cute children that might upstage me?

Was I the only one hoping she was going to rip that skirt off Bucks Fizz style?

I DID Liege!

Cory, you innocent fool you!

I watched it through my fingers too.

It's just strikes me as a bit exhibitionist. Sure dance with your Mum, but don't perform.
