I could write a book on the various MOBs and MOGs I have met, and I have some crazy stories that I will share in future posts.

But for now, I respond to a recent e-mail I received from a Bride-to-be. This Bride wrote saying that her future Mother-In-Law is meddling and sticking her nose into the planning way too much.

This happens sometimes, and it can be worse if the MOG has only sons, and no daughters to help plan for their Wedding(s).

MOG are best dealt with if they are given a significant task. You must delegate. If someone like a parent wants to be that involved, then involve them. Choose something in your Wedding planning that requires alot of time, that maybe you aren't TOO concerned about and delegate.

Things like; have her make ribbon pew ends (your design), have her be in charge of writing out the place cards, if she sews, have her sew the flower girls' dresses....the list is endless. Just be creative - ask your fiancee if he has any ideas.
