Wedding drama: Bride stands up to germophobe mom’s outrageous demands ‍♀️

Picture this: you’re getting married to the love of your life, and everything is perfect… until your mother’s severe OCD and germophobia start to take over the wedding planning. Our bride-to-be is dealing with a mother who insists on cleanliness rituals like washing hands and feet three times and flicking light switches 10 times. While the groom is understanding, the mother’s demands are getting out of hand. Will our bride stand her ground or let her mother’s OCD ruin her special day?

OCD Mom vs. Dream Wedding: Who Will Win?

Our bride-to-be and her fiancé, Wesley, have chosen a beautiful seaside castle venue for their wedding, but her mother’s severe OCD and germophobia are causing some serious drama. From disapproving of the outdoor venue to refusing to let her daughter try on wedding dresses, her mother’s demands are spiraling out of control. When she suggests having all 70+ guests wash their hands and feet three times at the wedding, our bride finally puts her foot down. But when she tells her mother it might be best if she doesn’t attend, her mother lashes out on social media, claiming she’s no daughter of hers. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this heart-wrenching situation…
