Mumsnet user complains that her new husband’s mother has invited herself on their honeymoon
Her nightmare mother-in-law is now suggesting family dinners on the holiday
A BRIDE-TO-BE was horrified to discover that her partner's mum has invited herself on THEIR honeymoon, after booking flights to their destination of choice.
The Mumsnet user Winter Is Here Jon, who is getting married later this year, made the discovery on Facebook - where her mother-in-law was boasting about her trip.
Winter explained that she and her partner have been planning a romantic post-wedding trip to St Lucia, in the Caribbean, with a few days in the United States on their way home.
Although they are yet to book, the couple had given their proposed dates to both sets of their parents - because they were hoping for some help looking after their kids.
The frustrated bride-to-be added: "Fast forward to last night and she's posted on Facebook that she's booked a holiday to the same chuffing resort she knew we were looking at.

"She's making out like it was a pure accident but I really don't feel that it is.
"I've had a little frustrated cry and am now looking for alternatives but she will no doubt kick off because she's suggesting meeting up for a family meal when we arrive.
"DP (dear partner) is also furious but she's playing innocent, saw a fab deal in travel agents window, too good to miss.
"I should have known; she has always been an interfering old bat."
Winter's fellow mums were absolutely horrified by the turn of events.
Among them was Neolara, who said: "That's incredibly weird. Who crashes their son's honeymoon?!!
"Your consolation is that the entire world will think your MIL (mother-in-law) is a fruitcake."
Peppa Pog Still on a Loop added: "That is WEIRD! Does she always have boundary issues? Definitely find a new resort, not your problem if she is upset."

Most of the mums advised Winter to change her plans and visit a different Caribbean island, or another destination altogether - for example Mauritius.
But Lila C Lily took a much firmer stance. She wrote: "I wouldn't be changing my plans at all.
"I'd be telling your fiance to tell his bats*** mother to cancel her holiday or they'll be no wedding. Put your foot down now or this craziness will continue forever."
