One user commented that the mother-in-law’s display was ‘beyond disturbing’, while others advised the couple to move ‘far far away from the clutches of his mother’.
‘Oh lord please grant this DIL (daughter-in-law) and DH (darling husband) the serenity to move far, far away from the clutches of this mother’, the baffled Reddit user wrote.
Another user added: ‘She must have been laughed at by every relative who saw that wedding picture. What a fool.’

Others shared that they had similar photographs from their own weddings, with one Redditor revealing she has a picture of her mother-in-law in an identical pose.
She revealed: ‘LOL… I have a picture of my MiL doing the exact same death grip on my DH on our wedding day! I suspect emotion got the better of her though in our case.
‘She has her moments (don’t we all) but DH has always been the keeper of firm boundaries.’
