Nobody knows how to ruin a wedding celebration quite like a Monster-in-law. 

Fueled by entitled rage and Karenish tendencies, the Monster-in-law is a fabled foe that few can vanquish–except the powerful groomsman in our next story. When the groom's mother, a snobbish and entitled woman, came dashing towards his date, the original poster of this story came to her rescue with some clever heroics. 

To match the 'western theme' of the wedding, the groomsman's date had purchased a dress from a popular cowboy store–little did she know, the groom's mother would be in the same outfit. Most rational adults would laugh it off or take a funny photo to commemorate their whoopsie-twinning moment, but this Karen-in-law wouldn't let her self-importance be outshone by a younger guest. Keep scrolling to read the entire story of how a crazed mother at a wedding attempted to kick out another guest because they wore the same outfit to a casual event. 

After this, here's another tale of another Karen that gets pwned by their own untrained dogs.

    Attended a wedding yesterday. There were a few reasons to shame this wedding, but the most egregious behavior was the Groom's Mother.

    The wedding was "western themed", and extremely casual. The groom's mother and another guest wore the same green dress. The guest was

    the bride's brother's date. She was not involved in the wedding apart from as a date. Apparently, that green dress is available at Boot Barn right now.

    Groom's Mother (GM) was mad and cornered the guest about it: GM: You're wearing the same dress as me. You need to change.

    Guest: I don't have anything to change into. We just flew in. GM: Well, then you need to leave. Now.

    Guest: Are you serious? GM: Yes, I'm serious. I'm more important than you. I'm the mother of the groom.

    Other brother of the bride: Well, we're the bride's family, and without the bride, you won't have a wedding at all. So she's staying.

    Luckily, nothing else came of it (because there was other BS going on), but the brother's date was hurt that the mother was such a about it.
