My mother-in-law joined our honeymoon to torment me — I didn’t stand for it and executed the perfect retaliation.

This tale is a lesson in establishing boundaries, commanding respect, and much more. What was meant to be a joyous honeymoon for me and my husband quickly transformed into a stressful trip with my problematic mother-in-law in tow. Fortunately, I devised a strategy that solved the issue effectively.

What should have been a romantic escape for my husband and me turned sour rapidly when an unwelcome guest accompanied us. Let’s rewind to explain how this all unfolded.

As my husband, Mike, and I were about to leave for our honeymoon, he nonchalantly mentioned a detour to his mother’s house.

“Why?” I inquired, bewildered. “Because she’s joining us,” he responded. Confused, I pressed, “What?” With a sigh, he elaborated, “She’s never had a vacation or traveled abroad her whole life, so it’s only right she joins us.”

I was absolutely dumbfounded! “When were you going to tell me this? What about our plans?” I tried to remain composed. “I revised our reservations and tickets a while back,” he admitted.

“The truth is she insisted, and I thought you’d be okay with it since you’re always so understanding.” That comment shifted my bewilderment to outrage! I was furious that he had made these changes without consulting me.

The thought of spending our island getaway with my mother-in-law felt like a nightmare! I was so upset I nearly canceled the whole trip. But then, AN EXCELLENT IDEA CAME TO ME! When we reached my mother-in-law’s home, Mike went out to help her with her bags.

While he was busy, I quickly made a phone call. “Mom, hi. I’m in a bit of a bind,” I started. “What’s wrong, dear?” She sounded worried. “My mother-in-law convinced Mike to bring her along on our honeymoon.”

“What?! Oh no, Elle!” my mother gasped in dismay. “She’s tagging along to the islands, and I don’t know how I’ll manage. Could you and Dad come? I’ll book your flights.” Alarmed, she asked, “How did this happen?”

“There’s no time for details, Mom. I need to act fast.” Mom quickly understood the gravity of the situation and replied supportively, “Of course, dear. Your father and I would be glad to help! Just let us know where you’ll be, and we’ll handle the rest.”

I wasted no time booking their flights online and sent all the details to my mom. She assured me she’d do everything possible to make sure I could enjoy my time with Mike without my meddlesome mother-in-law interfering.

Lisa Marie Presley had a deeply emotional reason for keeping her son Benjamin’s body on dry ice after his passing.

After her son Benjamin passed away, Lisa Marie Presley kept his body on dry ice for two months for a very heartbreaking reason. Just under four years had gone since the terrible suicide death of her son Benjamin Keough, when Lisa Marie, 54, passed away in January 2023.

Lisa Marie, the sole child of Elvis Presley, departed from her twin children, Harper and Finley Lockwood, who are 16 years old, and her daughter Riley Keough, who is a star of Daisy Jones & The Six. Riley finished a book she had written, From Here to the Great Unknown, and it was published on October 8 following her death.

In her memoir, Lisa Marie discussed Benjamin’s sudden passing in 2020 and disclosed that she had held his body for two months before burying him in a casita bedroom. As she had explained to her father, Elvis Presley, “there is no law in California that requires someone to be buried immediately,” and she felt it was important to give Benjamin the time she needed to say goodbye.

Lisa Marie was just nine years old when Elvis passed away, so having his body at home and being able to visit and talk with him had been consoling. Throughout that time, she kept Benjamin’s remains at 55 degrees while debating whether to bury him in Graceland or Hawaii.

She acknowledged in the biography, “I became so accustomed to him being there, taking care of him… I was grateful that I could continue to raise him until I was ready to say goodbye, even if it was only for a short while longer.
