Mom-zillas

In my wedding experiences, it is often the mother of the bride or the mother of the groom who can create the most consternation at a wedding. Perhaps we should have a new word "Mom-zillas" to describe this phenomenon.

How about the mother who came running into my office two minutes before her daughter was about to walk down the aisle screaming, "The aisle runner is crooked! It's two inches off center!"?
Or the groom's mother who tried to take control of the rehearsal by secretly rearranging the seating arrangements on the bride's side of the sanctuary?
Or the bride's mom who came thirty minutes late to the wedding (on purpose) so she would get more attention than her daughter?
