My mum wants to stay in the bridal suite WITH me & my new wife – she even said she’d sleep on the floor

A BRIDE has vented her frustration at her mother insisting she stays in the same room as the couple on the wedding night. The upset woman said she had told her mum it was “inappropriate” for her to stay in the bridal suite, but she hadn’t backed down and even said she’d sleep on the floor.
In a post on Reddit, the 35-year-old bride said that she had initially planned to elope to Las Vegas with her fiancée, 41. However, their families didn’t want to be left out of the celebrations, so the bride relented and paid for a micro-wedding with just 10 “special guests”.
Despite the wedding website clearly stating that guests would be “responsible for their own rooms, arrangements, flights”, her mum had not taken the hint. She wrote: "We planned a week out in Vegas, the first few days being just for me and my future wife.
"However, my dear mother doesn't want to fly out to Vegas just for a wedding. She's never been to Vegas so she wants to make a whole trip of it. “To me, this is not a family trip. Although my family will be there, it is a trip for me and my wife. It is our wedding, after all.”.
The bride revealed how her 60-year-old single mum had broken the news that she was going to not only stay in the same accommodation but also in the same room. She continued: “A few months ago, my mother suggested to stay with us in our hotel suite for the first few nights, the three of us.
