Some people have dreamed about their wedding day since they were a little kid. Childhood dreams of Cinderella dresses, clinking champagne flutes, and a black-tie affair can sail through a kid's mind without a second thought, but in the deep south, an outdoor, summertime, black-tie event is a little more complicated to plan than an enchanting Disney-style ball. Guests could lose more than a glass slipper in those hot n' sweaty conditions.

With 100 degree weather and 100% humidity, most guests would rather take shelter in the AC than traipse around a hot corn field in a floor-length gown with long sleeves alongside their tuxedo-ed date…That goes double a woman who's 8 months pregnant.

Most people don't have the gaul to stand up to a bridezilla, but in this story, u/throwawaythechanges, the sister-in-law of the bride-to-be was about to be a new mother. With her belly swollen and contractions on the horizon, this pregnant mom stood up for herself (and her health) in the midst of a red-faced, furious bride.

After this, read on about another protective parent that goes into mom-mode when there's drama at the family cookout.
