Actually, I think WE are the last barrier, she just backs us up. Behave
like a barnyard animal when I invite you? You don't get invited anymore.
Talk about others behind their backs? I refute whatever you say, whether I
know anything or not.

My friend just told me that the mother of the bride in her son's upcoming
wedding has told her where to host the rehearsal dinner because the idea
that groom and mom came up with wasn't fancy enough to impress her
relatives. Groom is self-made millionaire at an incredibly young age.
Apparently that makes bride's family feel like everything must cost
millions.
