Bride's mom books adjoining suite for wedding night; bride is 'dumbfounded.'

 Celebrating your love with parents and close family members is usually an important part of any wedding day, but what about the wedding night?So, when a conflicted bride decided to consult the delightfully judgmental Reddit group, &quot;Wedding Shaming,&quot; about her mom&#39;s bizarre choice to be hilariously too close for comfort, people were here for the drama.My mother has booked her hotel room next to us on our wedding night? I (26F) am getting married in August next year. I wanted to be prepared for the potential wedding boom that could happen in my country next year, and booked everything already now so I don&#39;t have to stress over the details later.  My father gifted me and my future husband a suite to stay in during the wedding at one of the finest hotels in my town. When mom found out that we got a suite from my dad, she booked two suites in the same hotel for her, my stepdad, and my brother. She made a big deal that I and my hubby picked our suite first so she would&#39;t reserve that suite by mistake.  My parents have been divorced for 23 years and have been doing petty things like this to one up each other my whole life so it&#39;s nothing new and I&#39;m just shaking it off and continue with my life.   Yesterday mom called me and wanted to tell me, that she has now booked the suites and &quot;what nice staff there are at the hotel, they are so service oriented. They said it wouldn&#39;t be a problem to book her suite right next to you and hubby&#39;s suite.&quot;  Quite honestly, I was a bit dumbfounded when I heard that. I don&#39;t know if I&#39;m oversensitive or being unreasonable but if there&#39;s one thing I don&#39;t want, it&#39;s spending my wedding night with my mom in the next room.
