That MIL-to-be needs to be reigned in! Sounds like the rehearsal
dinner is turning into a pre-wedding banquet. We're parents of the
groom in August, so I know what your friend is going through. If her
son approved of the venue, it's fine. He knows what their friends
like... and nobody cares what the bride's mother thinks is
appropriate. She should be worrying about the wedding reception
details and butt out of the rehearsal dinner planning. I don't think
my son's soon to be MIL knows or cares where we've picked for the
rehearsal dinner. She is focused on the wedding and reception
details.
