Info: The column this illustrated is actually about a Bridezilla who decreed that her mother would be excluded from all photos at the wedding unless her “dress, jewelry, makeup and hairstyle meet the bride’s precise color, style and other requirements.

Carolyn Hax’s response started by saying the mom had raised a monster, and included the statement, “to someone capable of saying to her mother, ‘You will be excluded from wedding photos unless your dress, jewelry, makeup and hairstyle meet my precise color, style and other requirements,’ the ‘right’ thing has been replaced by raving lunacy. The laws of social physics no longer apply.”
