Ok. I read this wrong before. I thought you were upset if she went to visit another table. She is refusing to sit at the table you want her to sit at. Tell her that you would like her to sit at a particular table and that the videographer will be interviewing. I'm sure she will go along with your wishes. After that point, she can get up and go visit her friends later.
No she is totally serious, and the kicker is that we are paying for the whole wedding ourselves!!!
I would not even discuss it with her. Put her at the head table. End of story! Especially since you are paying for it.
I agree with everyone else, it is your wedding, you dont need the extra aggravation, have her sit at the head table, she will have more than enough time to visit with her friends.
Good Luck with this woman in the future...It's not easy with MIL's like that...This is the tip of the iceberg my dear. I wouldn't push it, let her sit where she wants to, I know it's your day and blah, blah, but when the smoke clears she is still going to be your MIL so don't ever let her use that against you. Advise: Always come out smelling like roses!
