Mother Decides To Book A Room Right Next To Her Daughter’s Honeymoon Suite, Drama Ensues

Mother Decides To Book A Room Right Next To Her Daughter’s Honeymoon Suite, Drama Ensues

ADVERTISEMENT

You want your wedding to be perfect, and one of the ways you achieve that is by prioritizing yourself and your partner. However, this woman wasn’t allowed to. By her own mother.

A few days ago, Reddit user Im_not_a_spambot submitted a story to the platform’s ‘Wedding Shaming‘ community in which she explained that her dad got her and her husband a fancy hotel suite for their big day (and night).

But the woman’s excitement was soon overshadowed by the fact that her mom booked a room right next door. For herself, her new husband, and their child. On purpose.

But after her “petty” mother learned about this, she booked a room right next to it

Divorce expert Karen Holden, who is also the founder of A City Law Firm, thinks that coping with your parents’ divorce can be incredibly difficult and emotional at any age.

Especially around such big events.

But according to Holden, you should avoid taking it personally. Of course, this is probably easier said than done in most cases, but the right things are rarely the easiest. The actual divorce and (most) reasons leading up to it, don’t usually have any relation to you and shouldn’t affect your own relationships.

ADVERTISEMENT

Relationships are complex and hideously multilayered, where many factors over a time have a cause and effect.

In the case of your parents, this time spans beyond your own life and will have subtle points of history coming into play that were remembered or perceived by one parent differently to another.

The divorce expert thinks it’s best to at least try to avoid forming your own judgments on either parent for the separation. Sometimes the separation can appear to have an obviou villain, whereas other times there is no single reason. Either way, throwing accusations rarely helps parents move on and instead risks polarising them to live up to that rather artificial perception.

Ultimately, while relations may become strained between your parents, possibly even between you and one of your parents too, keep in mind that you can decide how you wish to manage it all to ensure that you don’t lose out on a relationship with one parent.

For most people, you only ever get the one set and it would be sad to learn you lost it over something that had nothing to do with you. The original poster (OP) seems to be confident with her decision and keeping in mind that we don’t know her mother the way she does, her choice to simply book another room might actually be the best one.

And replied to some of the people who shared their thoughts on it

Ask your mom what's wrong with her that she wants to eavesdrop on your wedding night sex. Make sure she knows that you will not, under any circumstances, be asking her to join in.

If you don't do something about your mother now, I mean BEFORE you spend 1 single night in the hotel suite your father reserved for you...then you WILL end up having your husband divorce you. I'm sorry if I sound like a b***h, I truelly don't mean to... but I used to be just like you and let my mom play her petty games without even trying to confront her, stand up for myself and the man I loved, always keeping quiet about it and making excuses for my mom. And the man I loved left not because of another woman or because he no longer loved me, but because of the fact that I never stood up to my mom, never stood up for him when it came to my mom, and continued to allow my mom to control and ruin our lives with the petty games she would play. And you sweetie are walking that same road except I was engaged for 2 years and you are about to actually get married. DON'T let your mother destroy your marriage and your future. Stand up to your mom, stand up for yourself, stand up for your soon to be husband, from now on make it public to everybody involved (your entire family and future husband's family in this case) of the petty stunts she's pulling, and as much as it might hurt you to do... you NEED to tell your mom that if she continues to play her petty games and use you as a way to try and get revenge on your dad then you will disown her and completely kick her out of your life and her future grandchildren's lives. She is NOT showing you love, she's only using you as a way to get revenge on your dad for her own selfish reasons and in so doing hurting you and destroying your life. If she continues to do it and you continue to let her then eventually you will lose everything you hold dear, completely hate yourself and feel like you're worthless (that is if she hasn't already made you feel like you're worthless). I understand what you're going through and what it's like having such a piece of s**t for a mom that only plays petty games destroying your life... please take my advice.

You need to remember that she is also young, and many times when you're young you don't have the fortitude to stand up to your parents, especially when they have had 20 years to manipulate your head. On one hand you can't stand them, but you're caught between the fact that they're your parent and have this strang love for them. It's a difficult situation to be in, trust me.

I had similar case. On my wedding day, my father asked me to stay in me and my husband's house, eventhough we have booked him a hotel room. Our house has no many rooms, and because we just moved in at that time we don't have any spare bed. There's no way he'd sleep in our room. We explained that nicely to him but he still asked to stay in our house because he thought it will save me some cost. I said no, I had saved money for this day and prepared you a room. Hearing my refusal, my husband immediately drove him to his hotel.

OP call hotel as your mother and cancel the rooms. By the time she finds out about it, hopefully the rooms will be booked by someone else. Or you can tell your mother to cancel the room herself or she will be uninvited from the wedding and cut out permanently from your life, which means she'll never see any future grandkids you have. Honestly, put your foot down, set some boundaries and stick to them.

She is pure slime. I apologize but sounds like you already know that. 2 suggestions.....1) can you call and act like her and cancel the room? Go ahead and book it under your name and then cancel it closer to time. Or, act like her and just change rooms. 2) I would give her one hell of a soundtrack to remember your wedding night. Girl, don't even fake it. Go for the Olympics.

Stay in good form and good taste. You're ALREADY letting this deliberate sabotage of your wedding interfere with your peace of mind and enjoyment of this beautiful event in your life. This is about YOU AND YOUR FIANCE. NOT about your jnbskznced and malicious interfering parent. Certainly your father wouldn't object if you changed your suite before none other is available. It's about it being the gift from him, not about having to have the best suite in the house. Just change the suite number, don't tell your father, (if your folks still do this neither one has learned to eradicate it, so now is NOT the time to push that), and tell no one of the change. QUIT trying to prive a point. Just make the change and get past it. And tell the hotel your business is NOT your mother's. And go on with your beautiful day. If you drop this DRAMA forced upon you intended to ruin your day, just change it. I hope you soon learn how to deal with your mother. This would be an excellent start.🎋👍❤⚘🥂🌞🌈

I started wondering if that girl is in denial and is dependant on the family drama. From what I read, this was suggested, yet, she still answered back with "the hotel says they can't move her because the mother requested the specific room number". But never answers as to why SHE HERSELF can't be moved. Even if her own room was the best in the hotel, if she doesn't request herself to be moved, or any of the other fine suggestions, I question her thinking it's as weird as she should know that it is.

How bout go by her a car I don't know but to stay in the hotel next door to your daughter on her wedding night is sick.

This is just sick. Weird and sick. If this is not the first time mom has done something like this, it certainly won't be the last. This is a taste of what the rest of your life will be like.if you don't do something about this now.. Mom has no boundaries. And a lot of nerve. After the wedding, plan to live as far away from her as possible.

Here's a riff on the "cancel your reservation" idea which you may wish to consider: Talk to Dad. Explain the problem (he'll get it; he knows and divorced this woman, possibly due to these very type of antics). Have him book a really nice hotel suite across town. Then tell your mom you and your fiancé are very excited to be able to get to stay at Swanky Suites Hotel Two for your honeymoon because it is RIGHT DOWN THE STREET from XXXX (event, restaurant, circus, carnival, mime act, etc.) which fiancé has ALWAYS wanted to see, do, etc., and now you're going to surprise him with that for your honeymoon. When she asks what's going to happen with the PREVIOUSLY reserved honeymoon suite in Swanky Suites Hotel One, tell her your dad is going to take it and stay there with his wife/GF/hooker/mime instead. Then watch how quickly she cancels your brother's and her reservations and re-books at the new hotel. Now... once she has made the new reservations, have your dad (or you) call and cancel the reservation at the new hotel, but... THE IMPORTANT PART: Wait until the day before your wedding to inform your mom you won't be staying at the new hotel because it turns out the circus, state show, event, special farm-to-table dinner, WHATEVER was canceled, or your fiancé said he really didn't want to go, and you are SO-O-O-O happy that your dad was kind enough to offer your original honeymoon suite back to you and the new hubby. Enough time should have elapsed that ALL other rooms in Swanky Suites Hotel One should be booked by then. The only outlay in time will be in doing a little research -- possibly -- into what events MIGHT actually be scheduled around that time at some venue near Swanky Suites Hotel Two. No harm, no foul. You want to REALLY screw with her? DON'T cancel the reservation at the second hotel, and give it to your dad with your blessings. The only better suggestion I could give would be to set up chairs on either side of your bed in the first honeymoon suite, invite your mom, step-dad, and brother in, seat them, and then start undressing with your now-husband. When Mom asks what the hell you're doing, tell them you're going to consummate your marriage, and she had made it abundantly clear she wanted to watch, so you both felt she might as well be comfortable AND have a front row seat so she'll be able to ACCURATELY report to her friends later as to EXACTLY what happened. Whatever you do, though, DON'T BACK DOWN. If they don't budge, you don't deviate from the plan (which, in this case, should contain LOTS of oral sex).

How unfortunate her mother behaves like this - making the event about her. I like a person’s suggestion above to rebook the suite for their anniversary and stay somewhere else after the wedding. I wouldn’t be able to relax and enjoy my stay with a toxic person in the same hotel, let alone on the same floor, next door.

This is a job for the groomsmen. When you are headed to your room, they keep her at the bar and one of them cuts off a key card short and super glue it into the lock. No way they get that room open before the next day.

Omg! I am so sorry you have to go through this. Check with the hotel about changing dates get you another nice hotel for at least 2 nights let your boss know and request time off for later I'm quite sure if you explain to your boss about what happened he or she would be understanding enough to request time off. Tell know one not even your father of the change but truly thank him for the hotel stay. Your mother has a deep problem and needs to get help and do so before you get pregnant because that's a whole lot of other problems. Good luck honey.

I'd come with a well prepared plan to publicly humiliate her in the worst situation possible. First, talk with the future husband and make the plan TOGETHER. Then, come up with smth like this: start going along with mom. At the wedding party, where ppl picks the mick to tell funny stories, tell to everyone what she did, and who else is on this. Ask security to escort them out of the party. Still go to the hotel suite. Both with a funny shirt that says we're on a honeymoon, and my mom found it funny to book the room beside us. She's on room xxx, pay her a visit if you support us. Or whatever more humiliating idea you can find. And of course, remove her as family. But, no matter what, talk this issue and get your husband support. In the end, if that b***c goes along, the answe is, "it doesn't matter, she's no family no more honey".

Sounds like the only plan so far that would work/ change things long term. I feel like she hasn't even been clear with the "mom" yet though. She could first give her the ultimatum, change hotels or else then continue with #operation humiliation. Bring up her moms perverse fetish if front of all the distant relatives.... and the father and his date. ROMCOM🤣

I don't feel a bit sorry for this bride at all. Thd fact that she is writing to b***h and complain about it, yet is unwilling to take anyone's advice and do something sbout it tells me she has zero backbone and is willing to let her parents, heck probably anyone, walk all over her. She has no idea how to set boundaries or stand up for herself. Either she is not mature enough to get married or is fine with being a useless doormat for everyone to walk on the rest of her life. God help her if she has kids. They will run her instead of her running them.

Obviously in this case the OP's mum is out of order, but I did want to comment for anyone planning a wedding - this situation is not in itself the problem. My husband and I had been living together before we wed and the hotel we had reception in was booked out entirely for us and our guests. We had the honeymoon suite, my parents were next door - my in-laws on the other side and evey room had close relatives. The next day, we all ate breakfast together and joined up with the crowd who had stayed just down the road for a lovely day out. It was a great way to spend our first day as a married couple for us, and a chance for families to get to know each other. We didn't really do the 'wedding night' until back in our own home. This was of course what me and my husband wanted, so it is entirely different to the post - I just wanted to say that it's not always problem.

Am I the only one who thinks she's exaggerating a little? She specified her mom's room is not wall to wall to hers, it's only on the same floor. What's the big deal? Is she planning to be so noisy on her first night that she can be heard from across the corridor? It's a hotel, there's still other people all around, you can't be that noisy. And anyway, the newlyweds are probably going to be so tired from the whole day that they won't be doing anything anyway... Yes, her mom's decision was a bit weird but it's really not a big deal.

NTA Simple solution after reading all the comments, and it's hilarious! On the wedding night gift your mother, step-father and brother each a box with a lovely card and a pair of earplugs. Don't forget to mention in the card a lovely message about how happy you and your husband are to spend your first night or nights together as a married couple and your thoughts about the gifts and finish with sincerely your loving hotel room neighbor. Sweet dreams!

As other posters have said, the loudest, longest sex you can have........ALL NIGHT LONG, and if you have to use a p-hub or some other sites recording, then do it. The question will be, if she has the gall to come and knock on the door and tell you to be quiet. If that happened then that would probably be that last time I initiated any contact. My mother was a little like this. Completely tone deaf.

You need to remember that she is also young, and many times when you're young you don't have the fortitude to stand up to your parents, especially when they have had 20 years to manipulate your head. On one hand you can't stand them, but you're caught between the fact that they're your parent and have this strang love for them. It's a difficult situation to be in, trust me.

It's your honeymoon you and your husband enjoy you special night and make as much noise as you possibly can don't allow a petty person to ruin your special day and from now on don't give your mother important information especially if you don't want to have something like this to happen again

I had similar case. On my wedding day, my father asked me to stay in me and my husband's house, eventhough we have booked him a hotel room. Our house has no many rooms, and because we just moved in at that time we don't have any spare bed. There's no way he'd sleep in our room. We explained that nicely to him but he still asked to stay in our house because he thought it will save me some cost. I said no, I had saved money for this day and prepared you a room. Hearing my refusal, my husband immediately drove him to his hotel.

OP call hotel as your mother and cancel the rooms. By the time she finds out about it, hopefully the rooms will be booked by someone else. Or you can tell your mother to cancel the room herself or she will be uninvited from the wedding and cut out permanently from your life, which means she'll never see any future grandkids you have. Honestly, put your foot down, set some boundaries and stick to them.

She is pure slime. I apologize but sounds like you already know that. 2 suggestions.....1) can you call and act like her and cancel the room? Go ahead and book it under your name and then cancel it closer to time. Or, act like her and just change rooms. 2) I would give her one hell of a soundtrack to remember your wedding night. Girl, don't even fake it. Go for the Olympics.

Stay in good form and good taste. You're ALREADY letting this deliberate sabotage of your wedding interfere with your peace of mind and enjoyment of this beautiful event in your life. This is about YOU AND YOUR FIANCE. NOT about your jnbskznced and malicious interfering parent. Certainly your father wouldn't object if you changed your suite before none other is available. It's about it being the gift from him, not about having to have the best suite in the house. Just change the suite number, don't tell your father, (if your folks still do this neither one has learned to eradicate it, so now is NOT the time to push that), and tell no one of the change. QUIT trying to prive a point. Just make the change and get past it. And tell the hotel your business is NOT your mother's. And go on with your beautiful day. If you drop this DRAMA forced upon you intended to ruin your day, just change it. I hope you soon learn how to deal with your mother. This would be an excellent start.🎋👍❤⚘🥂🌞🌈

Don't move your room. Sad that your mom is ruining your father's gift to you as un-upmanship. That's f-ed up. Just discretly call in and cancel all her rooms and don't tell her.

I started wondering if that girl is in denial and is dependant on the family drama. From what I read, this was suggested, yet, she still answered back with "the hotel says they can't move her because the mother requested the specific room number". But never answers as to why SHE HERSELF can't be moved. Even if her own room was the best in the hotel, if she doesn't request herself to be moved, or any of the other fine suggestions, I question her thinking it's as weird as she should know that it is.

How bout go by her a car I don't know but to stay in the hotel next door to your daughter on her wedding night is sick. My daughter has a baby when her and her fiance gets marry would keep the baby but I will not be in the same hotel. I need them to enjoy their marriage. People is weird

This is just sick. Weird and sick. If this is not the first time mom has done something like this, it certainly won't be the last. This is a taste of what the rest of your life will be like.if you don't do something about this now.. Mom has no boundaries. And a lot of nerve. After the wedding, plan to live as far away from her as possible.

Here's a riff on the "cancel your reservation" idea which you may wish to consider: Talk to Dad. Explain the problem (he'll get it; he knows and divorced this woman, possibly due to these very type of antics). Have him book a really nice hotel suite across town. Then tell your mom you and your fiancé are very excited to be able to get to stay at Swanky Suites Hotel Two for your honeymoon because it is RIGHT DOWN THE STREET from XXXX (event, restaurant, circus, carnival, mime act, etc.) which fiancé has ALWAYS wanted to see, do, etc., and now you're going to surprise him with that for your honeymoon. When she asks what's going to happen with the PREVIOUSLY reserved honeymoon suite in Swanky Suites Hotel One, tell her your dad is going to take it and stay there with his wife/GF/hooker/mime instead. Then watch how quickly she cancels your brother's and her reservations and re-books at the new hotel. Now... once she has made the new reservations, have your dad (or you) call and cancel the reservation at the new hotel, but... THE IMPORTANT PART: Wait until the day before your wedding to inform your mom you won't be staying at the new hotel because it turns out the circus, state show, event, special farm-to-table dinner, WHATEVER was canceled, or your fiancé said he really didn't want to go, and you are SO-O-O-O happy that your dad was kind enough to offer your original honeymoon suite back to you and the new hubby. Enough time should have elapsed that ALL other rooms in Swanky Suites Hotel One should be booked by then. The only outlay in time will be in doing a little research -- possibly -- into what events MIGHT actually be scheduled around that time at some venue near Swanky Suites Hotel Two. No harm, no foul. You want to REALLY screw with her? DON'T cancel the reservation at the second hotel, and give it to your dad with your blessings. The only better suggestion I could give would be to set up chairs on either side of your bed in the first honeymoon suite, invite your mom, step-dad, and brother in, seat them, and then start undressing with your now-husband. When Mom asks what the hell you're doing, tell them you're going to consummate your marriage, and she had made it abundantly clear she wanted to watch, so you both felt she might as well be comfortable AND have a front row seat so she'll be able to ACCURATELY report to her friends later as to EXACTLY what happened. Whatever you do, though, DON'T BACK DOWN. If they don't budge, you don't deviate from the plan (which, in this case, should contain LOTS of oral sex).

How unfortunate her mother behaves like this - making the event about her. I like a person’s suggestion above to rebook the suite for their anniversary and stay somewhere else after the wedding. I wouldn’t be able to relax and enjoy my stay with a toxic person in the same hotel, let alone on the same floor, next door.

This is a job for the groomsmen. When you are headed to your room, they keep her at the bar and one of them cuts off a key card short and super glue it into the lock. No way they get that room open before the next day.

Omg! I am so sorry you have to go through this. Check with the hotel about changing dates get you another nice hotel for at least 2 nights let your boss know and request time off for later I'm quite sure if you explain to your boss about what happened he or she would be understanding enough to request time off. Tell know one not even your father of the change but truly thank him for the hotel stay. Your mother has a deep problem and needs to get help and do so before you get pregnant because that's a whole lot of other problems. Good luck honey.

I'd come with a well prepared plan to publicly humiliate her in the worst situation possible. First, talk with the future husband and make the plan TOGETHER. Then, come up with smth like this: start going along with mom. At the wedding party, where ppl picks the mick to tell funny stories, tell to everyone what she did, and who else is on this. Ask security to escort them out of the party. Still go to the hotel suite. Both with a funny shirt that says we're on a honeymoon, and my mom found it funny to book the room beside us. She's on room xxx, pay her a visit if you support us. Or whatever more humiliating idea you can find. And of course, remove her as family. But, no matter what, talk this issue and get your husband support. In the end, if that b***c goes along, the answe is, "it doesn't matter, she's no family no more honey".

Sounds like the only plan so far that would work/ change things long term. I feel like she hasn't even been clear with the "mom" yet though. She could first give her the ultimatum, change hotels or else then continue with #operation humiliation. Bring up her moms perverse fetish if front of all the distant relatives.... and the father and his date. ROMCOM🤣

I don't feel a bit sorry for this bride at all. Thd fact that she is writing to b***h and complain about it, yet is unwilling to take anyone's advice and do something sbout it tells me she has zero backbone and is willing to let her parents, heck probably anyone, walk all over her. She has no idea how to set boundaries or stand up for herself. Either she is not mature enough to get married or is fine with being a useless doormat for everyone to walk on the rest of her life. God help her if she has kids. They will run her instead of her running them.

Obviously in this case the OP's mum is out of order, but I did want to comment for anyone planning a wedding - this situation is not in itself the problem. My husband and I had been living together before we wed and the hotel we had reception in was booked out entirely for us and our guests. We had the honeymoon suite, my parents were next door - my in-laws on the other side and evey room had close relatives. The next day, we all ate breakfast together and joined up with the crowd who had stayed just down the road for a lovely day out. It was a great way to spend our first day as a married couple for us, and a chance for families to get to know each other. We didn't really do the 'wedding night' until back in our own home. This was of course what me and my husband wanted, so it is entirely different to the post - I just wanted to say that it's not always problem.

Am I the only one who thinks she's exaggerating a little? She specified her mom's room is not wall to wall to hers, it's only on the same floor. What's the big deal? Is she planning to be so noisy on her first night that she can be heard from across the corridor? It's a hotel, there's still other people all around, you can't be that noisy. And anyway, the newlyweds are probably going to be so tired from the whole day that they won't be doing anything anyway... Yes, her mom's decision was a bit weird but it's really not a big deal.

NTA Simple solution after reading all the comments, and it's hilarious! On the wedding night gift your mother, step-father and brother each a box with a lovely card and a pair of earplugs. Don't forget to mention in the card a lovely message about how happy you and your husband are to spend your first night or nights together as a married couple and your thoughts about the gifts and finish with sincerely your loving hotel room neighbor. Sweet dreams!

As other posters have said, the loudest, longest sex you can have........ALL NIGHT LONG, and if you have to use a p-hub or some other sites recording, then do it. The question will be, if she has the gall to come and knock on the door and tell you to be quiet. If that happened then that would probably be that last time I initiated any contact. My mother was a little like this. Completely tone deaf.
