Salute the rise of the M.I.L.
Yes, a true cultural centrepiece of global marriage culture!
Where there is a wedding to be planned and executed down to a level of detail last seen in the build-up to D-Day, you will find a mother-in-law (in waiting).

The transformation from regular human into an organisational alchemist is one of nature’s great wonders. Slightly terrifying in scope, yes — but miraculous all the same. Anyone who’s ever been saved by a spare safety pin or emergency snack knows it’s mostly a blessing.
“How are wedding Mother-in-Laws celebrated in other cultures? What do they get to do? Well, here’s a quick trot around the globe to see what they get up to.”
They’re often a good sounding board before your high standards leave you stuck in the single life forever, but I digress.
Because I’ve been thinking: how do mothers-in-law do it, here and elsewhere? How are they celebrated? What do they get to do? Well, here’s a quick trot around the globe to see what they get up to.
1). Wild Goose (Korea)
This tradition involves the groom presenting his mother-in-law with a wild goose, symbolizing loyalty and lifelong partnership.
These days it’s usually wooden geese — which are easier to gift-wrap and don’t honk through the speeches.
2). Bell smashing (Guatemala)
I guess many mothers-in-law could come up with innovative uses for a large ceramic bell, not least when it comes to keeping errant sons-in-law on the straight and narrow.
Actually in Guatemalan wedding culture, the tradition of cracking a ceramic bell is a centrepiece of wedding celebrations.
Usually, though, you have to make do with breaking the bell – packed with rice, grains, and flour – it showers the couple with the essentials of a good life — the sort of overflowing pantry any mother wishes for her children.
3). Hello Mother In Law! (Iran)
In Persian Mādarzan Salām… the groom visits his new mother-in-law the morning after the wedding and presents her with a gift — a beautiful way of recognising the WONDERFUL woman who raised his partner.
More of this, please.
But really we don’t want for much, either on the big day or afterwards. Well, not that much.
Just for our babies to be healthy and happy. And given all the soup they need.
