Oh. My. Gooseberries.

Omg.
My mum had something similar happen in similar circumstances. She was happy married with at least 1 child (me, not sure if my brother was born) and was at he wedding of her next door neighbor who's grandfather stood up and introduced her as 'Pandoras mum' this is the girl Stephen should have married. In front of the bride and her family

When they get home go out for coffee with her and let her know how well she handled the situation. She is probably thinking she should not have said what she did and beating herself up over it. Let her know 'well done'.

Hopefully by standing up to her from day one it will make it easier for her in the future.

wow ...

I know one guy whose parents didn't go to his wedding (only son and all) because they weren't happy about his bride. nothing wrong with her, it just wasn't the girl they'd selected for him, and it never had occurred to them that he'd be so bold as to pick his own wife ... stiff brittish upper lip -v- their son ... the guy's got 4 kids now, eldest is about 20, they haven't met any of the grandkids, despite living 2 suburbs apart. It's so sad.
