My fiance and I are planning a destination wedding, and what we were planning was that the wedding party would stay 4 days and three nights. On the third night would be the ceremony and the wedding party would say goodbye to us that night, on the fourth day the wedding party would not bother us since our honeymoon has begun and go home so that we may have our honeymoon at the destination for the next seven days. My mother in law insists on staying fifteen minutes away during the honeymoon with children from the groom's previous marriage to extend her vacation. She is paying for her own flights and hotel. I don't know how to react to this. I certainly do not want my future mother in law nor my own mother anywhere in the vicinity of our honeymoon. What do I do?

Since you have no control over the mothers, and you do have control over where you stay, change your honeymoon location to a non-disclosed place stating the reason as privacy. However, if the groom has children from a previous marriage he will have to be sure that this is okay with his mother, who will be caring fro his children.

Agreed. Plus, this is your fiance's mother. He should be the one speaking to her. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
