I just got married to the love of my life. I've usually gotten on pretty well with my new in-laws. Usually, my mother-in-law doesn't wear perfume or at least not any that I've been able to notice. My wife had her mother be her matron of honor so she was standing with us upfront. It was a small area and with her right next to my wife, I was able to smell her perfume. Shortly after the ceremony started I started to get watery eyes and sniffles. Our ceremony was supposed to only last 20 minutes max so I thought I would just push through unless it got worse.
It didn't get worse until after the ceremony when new mother-in-law hugged me. Itchy eyes, itchy throat, and headache got added to the mix. My wife asked if I was alright and I told her I think her mother's perfume was getting to me. We had someone go get some allergy medication. I took one but it didn't do a whole lot and I started to feel out of it.
Get to the reception and we started to do our photos, and I couldn't do group photos with my mother-in-law in them. I told my wife we needed to figure something out because my symptoms weren't letting up and I didn't want to be out of it from taking more meds for our reception or have to leave our own reception. My wife asked her mom to keep some distance between us to try and make it easier for me. It didn't really. That perfume followed her like a damn cloud. Then my wife asked her mom to try and wash wherever she dabbed her perfume but mother-in-law said she hadn't dabbed it on, she spritzed herself so it was on her dress too. At that point they said they were out of ideas and there wasn't anything we could do.
I said there was one more thing and suggested that maybe mother-in-law leave to change her dress and then come back or even just go to a nearby thrift store or something and get any kind of clothes, I'd even pay for them. I asked my mother-in-law to either please to do that or to leave and we'd visit later with cake because it was getting to the point that I would have to leave. My wife and mother-in-law objected to this because my wife wanted her mom there the whole time. I understand the day was big for my wife and she wanted her mother there and I wanted her there too but I wasn't able to enjoy my own wedding. I wound up sitting outside with some of my family and groomsmen. I started to feel better and when I did, my wife came out and asked if I'd be going back inside then. I told her no so long as her mom was still there and hadn't changed.
The night ended with my wife spending our wedding night at her parents' house. AITA for asking my mother-in-law to leave?
ETA: Yes my wife is aware of this, I had a similar reaction to a perfume she bought before. This was only the third time I've had a reaction that bad to perfumes.
Honestly, as someone who has weird reactions to scent, many people just refuse to believe it’s that big of a deal or even real at all. Like, yes, the laundry detergent is actually giving me a migraine, and no, I am not exaggerating or being dramatic.
Years ago my inlaws were offended when they came over and the diffuser they had gifted me wasn't out and being used. It came with a set of essential oils, many of which are toxic to cats. I was like "Yeah, I don't want to kill my pets." They refused to accept that was true.
I'm so glad I work from home now. People used to make me pass out due to vocal cord spasms making it feel like i was trying to breath through a straw. It would be caused by perfume or their damn essential oil necklaces. I can't even go into a mall this time of year from all the candles, soaps, and lotions on display for cheap gifts everywhere.
Luckily, that isn't one of mine. Mine is the sickly sweet fruit or flower smells. Also, what i can only describe as the elderly musk smell that seems to be in every fragrance they cover themselves in.
The problem with some senior citizens is that they don't realize their perfume has gone stale and then they don't moderate the application. I've sat behind way too many nose-blind older ladies in church.
Went to an event at the library and they'd made the sensory bin smell like peppermint to make it "Christmas-y" I guess. It set off my sons asthma within minutes and we had to leave the building. Strong scents are just not appropriate in public spaces, and they can affect accessibility.
One time I was shopping at Whole Foods, and in the natural/vitamin aisle they had an essential oil diffuser set up spraying at full blast.
I turned around and walked away as fast as I could, but it was too late, asthma attack.
Essential oils being diffused always set me off. My mom loves essential oils but knows she can’t have her diffusers going when I visit due to my allergies.
I think a huge part of the problem is that people don't realize that scent is tiny aeresolized molecules of the actual ingredients. Considering that ingredients which are usually highly concentrated to make scented products/perfumes, smelling it absolutely can cause a (usually mild compared to direct exposure) reaction. (And this doesn't even get into the sensory issues side of the coin)
On top of that many perfumes and other scent products contain some fat because it better clings to things and lingers in the air.
I have allergies to multiple herbs, some of which are naturally oily. I will not eat in restaurants that use a lot of the oily herbs because the level of cleaning to get the herb residue out of everything and everyone and the air is a lot. It's not worth the risk to me and it's rude and cruel to the kitchen staff to ask them to clean the kitchen and themselves to that depth.
I feel ya. I can't be in a building if someone is grilling cheese. It causes me physical pain, like someone is pushing knitting needles up my nostrils.
Everyone thinks I just don't like the smell. I don't like the smell, but I can cope with bad smells. I can't cope with blinding pain. Just warn me you're cooking it so I can step outside for fuck's sake!
I made it into my 30s with never having a single allergic reaction to anything. Then one day I had a really bad one (before epi pens) and everyone kept insisting it must have been something I ate, but I was sure it wasn’t. People were very dismissive of the possibility of perfume being the potential cause until it happened again a week later. And the person wearing the perfume was really offended, as if it was something I could control.
My aunt has this kind of reaction, on top of the itchy eyes, throat, and runny nose. My mom always made it out like she was a liar and wanting attention, even though you could see the reaction on her face.
My mother is super allergic to most scented lotions and perfumes - to the point of passing out if she’s not on daily meds. She had a class of high schoolers one time that decided she just had bad taste and didn’t like Axe body spray, so they doused her classroom before she came in (this was before she got on the meds). She stepped one foot in that door and hit the floor immediately. Needless to say, they believed her after that.
My daughter is on the spectrum. Combine that and the fact that she had to have balloon sinuplasty because her nasal passages weren’t formed quite right and now she can smell EVERYTHING. We had to switch to free and clear everything for laundry. Anything I want to get as air freshener has to be agreed upon by both of us as I have my own struggles with asthma. Unfortunately some folks will think of these kind of things the same way as food allergies…it’s either not that bad or the person is faking it/being dramatic. With allergies to pecans, crab, lobster and an anaphylaxis reaction to walnuts, I don’t second guess anyone’s statement about allergies. Plus it could be like me and green peppers. I can eat them in very small amounts but I’m DEFINITELY going to pay for it later.
I almost can't believe people telling me this shit. I have some sensitivity to scents, nothing extreme, and every time I tell someone their perfume bothers me a little they are extremely considerate. I had a coworker who likes perfumes stop wearing scents when she knows we will have to work together. Who goes out of their way to bother others.
I'm a little jealous that people are that considerate of you. I've had people spray perfume right at my face because they wanted to "prove" whether or not my allergy was real.
Oh my God. I can't even fathom that. I'm sure it happened to you, but it sounds unreal . Who even has the energy to care that much? So unnecessarily cruel . I hope you have the opportunity to avoid these people or cut them out of your life entirely.
My MIL is also sensitiv to scents. The Moment she mentioned it the first time i changed my detergent and I'm Not even wearing a specific scent i like because I'm not sure how she will react to it. Never heared of it before then too but it was a No brainer for me to not give her an headache over some scent.
Well, maybe. I've seen couples where dad is the best man, and they don't seem enmeshed. It's a possible bad sign, though, and given the story, you're probably right in this case.
I mean, I don't feel like that's sexist because that's what I'm assuming about the wife in this too. When you get to your parents for bridal party, you are just scaping the bottom of the barrel.
Same - closest we got was this 'two days later' comment:
Its two days after. She came home last night after doing some WFH at her parents. We are supposed to go on a honeymoon next week but she's still mad about asking her mom to both change and to leave, and that she felt embarrassed by my sitting outside and her family asking why. My friends and family aren't saying much- they asked me why I was sitting outside did an 'Oh' and generally just tried to keep me company as much as they could out there.
Which honestly makes it sound even worse. He was obviously just a prop at his own wedding. I know it is hard to be objective about your own life in the moment ... but I hope he saw the red flags and got an annulment.
This is why I choose my perfumes wisely, spray in front of me, and walk into it to apply. One single spray should be enough, and moving forward does displace some. And you do it at arms length, so big droplets hit the floor. It's a trick my mother taught me, as she's allergic to strong smells.
And by wisely, I mean nothing that's overly strong when I spray it into a lid to test it. My gf does the same, and she wears Versace. You can only smell if she's wearing it when she walks up to you.
I'm older GenX and while I'm not overly sensitive to scents, I absolutely remember the tendency of people to absolutely douse themselves - I recall being in high school in a closed door class and could hear footsteps in the hall and be able to tell which teacher it was due to the scent. Ugh!
My kids school has a teacher like that, it isn't so bad now that she is teaching slightly older kids, when she was teaching the littles you always knew when your kid needed a hug during the school day.
I just can’t imagine even showing up the wedding as simply a regular guest, and not doing everything I could (changing clothes etc) if one of the wedding party was allergic. Let alone close family/part of the wedding party. Inconceivable.
I would feel so bad if I had a scent on that someone was allergic to! I can’t even imagine having that happen at a wedding of all places and not doing everything to fix it.
She knew he was allergic. The love of her life is dying and she has the gull to be mad at him for dying on the dance floor. If she can't respect him now I hope they annulled
Most of the time perfume doesn’t bother me except once during a high school play my family was watching. The woman in front of me was doused in some nasty stuff that was making me cough, eyes water, getting really agitated. I roughed it and thankfully didn’t have worse symptoms. That said I hate how so many products now are so heavily scented, I don’t want my laundry smelling like whatever the scent is, I don’t want the entire house stinking up with it either.
I wonder how the marriage went and if he stayed with her.
You can wear a small amount and be ok, but no one more than two feet from you should be able to smell it. Your perfume is for you and whoever is right next to you. It's the balance of smelling good and still letting people who disagree escape your scent. If you can fumigate a small room, you need to change. It's why a lot of people perfume their skin or undershirt so the top layer of clothing dampens stronger scents.
My partner gets migraines easily and one of the triggers is perfumes or aftershave. He rarely wears aftershave but I do like my perfumes however we have found a few I can use that don’t trigger him and I won’t spray any if we’re about to be in close contact or say about to get into the car so he can’t escape. It’s about compromising and coming together to find solutions.
I don’t think that the OOP was out of order to just ask if his MIL could change so he could enjoy his wedding, it is telling however that the bride was bothered about her mother not being there but no mention of the man she just married unable to be there (Inside). Wonder if they’re still married.
Is it wrong that I hope this guy got an immediate annulment? He got a preview of married life with his mommy pleasing wife. What a nightmare. Run buddy run, I’ll go start the car for a quick getaway…
If ever there was a sign saying "don't marry this person" that was it. So selfish.
I'm sensitive to smells like this, not all of them will trigger a response and I haven't been able to narrow things down. It's just a case by case basis. Friends always do test runs just in case. It's so sweet of them.
So she didn't given a damn that her husband wasn't feeling well due to an allergic reaction and the pretty reasonable proposal from him was not just shot down because she didn't want her mother to leave her sight for a single moment, she even got pissed off at the suggestion and spend their wedding night with her parents. Two days later she was still mad when frankly the only one who deserves to be mad here was the husband for the way she treated him.
I wonder if they're still married. Seems hard to imagine with how selfish the wife and MIL both are.
I get migraines from perfume. I don’t know why people have to overly spray themselves. What a long journey only to find this out. Too bad she didn’t do it sooner.
I had to leave work two hours early this week and go to the ER because someone's perfume triggered an asthma attack. It was so strong the whole room had people sneezing and coughing, too. Still not fully recovered. People should have some common sense and not marinate in the scents.

I sincerely wonder if this guy's still married. Because of she never owned up that he was being reasonable and she wasn't then he shouldn't be
Honestly, as someone who has weird reactions to scent, many people just refuse to believe it’s that big of a deal or even real at all. Like, yes, the laundry detergent is actually giving me a migraine, and no, I am not exaggerating or being dramatic.
And will not believe that you’re not saying they smell bad. Even fragrances that I’d otherwise find pleasant can spark vicious headaches.
Yes! So many perfumes, candles, soaps that I actually like, just don’t seem to like me!
Scent diffusers are also bad. They not only set off my allergies, but I’ve read about pets getting really sick from them.
Years ago my inlaws were offended when they came over and the diffuser they had gifted me wasn't out and being used. It came with a set of essential oils, many of which are toxic to cats. I was like "Yeah, I don't want to kill my pets." They refused to accept that was true.
God yes, I cannot go into body wash or candle stores, it's just way too overwhelming.

It would be caused by perfume or their damn essential oil necklaces. I can't even go into a mall this time of year from all the candles, soaps, and lotions on display for cheap gifts everywhere.
Cinnamon pine cones for me. I try to book it through the entry of the grocery store as fast as I can this time of year.

One of the advantages to living out in the boonies and working from home is that I never have to deal with crap like that anymore!!!
If I'm lucky it's only a migraine, if I'm not then it's whole body hives into a severe asthma attack.
My MIL is also sensitiv to scents. The Moment she mentioned it the first time i changed my detergent and I'm Not even wearing a specific scent i like because I'm not sure how she will react to it.

Exactly, like how hard is it to just not use a certain scent if you know someone will be affected negatively by it?
he commented when he made the post that apparently she was too embarrased to want to go on the honeymoon with him so thats a great sign
I am very close to my mother, but I think having your mother as your matron of honor is a level of enmeshed that leaves no room for a husband.
I know a woman whose mother was her matron of honour and is currently dating her ex BF. It’s as weird as you think it is.
Well, maybe. I've seen couples where dad is the best man, and they don't seem enmeshed. It's a possible bad sign, though, and given the story, you're probably right in this case.
Maybe it's sexist of me, but IME when a man has his dad be his best man it's because he doesn't have any friends.
Maybe so. I haven't been close enough to any of them to know.
I mean, I don't feel like that's sexist because that's what I'm assuming about the wife in this too. When you get to your parents for bridal party, you are just scaping the bottom of the barrel.
I'm not convinced it doesn't apply to the bride and mother as well....
Gah. An update would be wonderful.
Why would she, she is the bride! It's HER day! No what do you mean it's also the grooms day? It doesn't work like that it's HER day
Id bet my hand thats the explanation
How dare he as the groom ask the matron of honor to leave and come back. The gall. The audacity. The cruelty!!
It reminds me of Jerry Seinfeld explaining the expendability of men in a wedding.
I so want an update on this >:0

I hate when people bathe in cologne or perfume. Cologne and perfume should be discovered, not announced.
And its scent should linger no longer than you do.
This is why I choose my perfumes wisely, spray in front of me, and walk into it to apply. One single spray should be enough, and moving forward does displace some. And you do it at arms length, so big droplets hit the floor. It's a trick my mother taught me, as she's allergic to strong smells.

I have a feeling that the marriage did not work out. Which is probably a good thing for OP.
Not much of an "ohnoconsequences" without any consequences for the bride 🤷♀️
When having her mother there for the full thing was more important than her new husband, y'know, breathing. What the actual fuck
She knew he was allergic. The love of her life is dying and she has the gull to be mad at him for dying on the dance floor. If she can't respect him now I hope they annulled
*gall
Personally I’d prefer to have a gull

Is it still even considered polite to wear perfume among crowds of strangers, whose allergies might include your perfume?
You can wear a small amount and be ok, but no one more than two feet from you should be able to smell it. Your perfume is for you and whoever is right next to you. It's the balance of smelling good and still letting people who disagree escape your scent. If you can fumigate a small room, you need to change. It's why a lot of people perfume their skin or undershirt so the top layer of clothing dampens stronger scents.
That’s fair.
MIL was in the fumigate category, I’m sure
I would have been MORTIFIED if I was MIL. Nobody would’ve had to ask me to change. I’d already be in the car like 🚗💨💨💨
I feel so sad for this groom. I wonder how things are going now.
My partner gets migraines easily and one of the triggers is perfumes or aftershave. He rarely wears aftershave but I do like my perfumes however we have found a few I can use that don’t trigger him and I won’t spray any if we’re about to be in close contact or say about to get into the car so he can’t escape.

Men’s cologne is a big trigger for me. People don’t realize.
Is it wrong that I hope this guy got an immediate annulment? He got a preview of married life with his mommy pleasing wife. What a nightmare. Run buddy run, I’ll go start the car for a quick getaway…
One of my co worker's perfume burns my sinuses so I understood how you feel.
If ever there was a sign saying "don't marry this person" that was it. So selfish.
I'm sensitive to smells like this, not all of them will trigger a response and I haven't been able to narrow things down. It's just a case by case basis. Friends always do test runs just in case. It's so sweet of them.

Two days later she was still mad when frankly the only one who deserves to be mad here was the husband for the way she treated him.
I wonder if they're still married. Seems hard to imagine with how selfish the wife and MIL both are.
Yeah that is so wild how self centered she is...
seems she was more concerned about being a married woman to her mothers eyes, than being a team with her husband.
I get migraines from perfume. I don’t know why people have to overly spray themselves. What a long journey only to find this out. Too bad she didn’t do it sooner.
I had to leave work two hours early this week and go to the ER because someone's perfume triggered an asthma attack. It was so strong the whole room had people sneezing and coughing, too. Still not fully recovered. People should have some common sense and not marinate in the scents.
No way they’re still married lol
Get an annulment. Your wife will always choose her mother over you.
i was a little scared while reading the post that the op is actually considered AH and the “consequences” were his wife abandoning him
thank god these 2 reddits have sane people
[deleted]
He offered to buy her a new outfit.
I hope he divorced her.
I hope he hadn't signed the papers and continued not signing them.
