Today, my mom got drunk and started crying at my after-wedding party, after promising she'd behave herself. She thinks my husband is an awful person who'll drag me into a life of sin, all because he has a tattoo and an ear piercing. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mother is trying to convince me to divorce my husband. He has a tattoo of a skull on his shoulder and she believes this means he kills people. FML
Today, my mother threatened to disown me if I didn't break up with my tattooed girlfriend. FML
Today, I got married and my mom refused to be there because my dad, whose guts she hates, was there even though I promised repeatedly that I would keep them apart. I couldn't do the mother-son dance. She keeps insisting that it was a "lapse in judgment." Yeah, like we're really going to be able to have a do-over. FML
Today, my "future" wife got drunk in front of my parents, who she was meeting for the first time. She called my dad a piece of shit and told my mom she wants to tear her own eyes out. FML
Today, minutes before I walked down the aisle at my wedding, my drunk mother stumbled up to me and told me she was depressed and wanted to leave. FML
Today, my father, who I rarely see, drove 400 miles to my wedding. I was so happy to see him, until he got completely trashed at my reception, asked me where he could "score some weed" and told me what a bitch my mom was, and how I needed to lose weight. For over an hour. At my wedding. FML
Today, my stepmother ruined my wedding by trying to get me to cover my tattoos with makeup. She spilled makeup on my dress, delayed the limo, talked through the ceremony about my tattoos looking horrible, and tried to cancel our photographer so there’d by no official photos of my horrible tattoos. FML
Today, I found out that my wife is leaving me for a tattoo artist. I was in rehab and she met him getting a tattoo as a surprise for me. FML
Today, after agreeing to hang out with my husband and his alcoholic mother after his father’s suicide, my mother-in-law found out that my sister-in-law and I playfully insult each other. She lost her mind and practically bit my head off, relapsed, and blamed my “disrespecting her daughter” on said relapse. FML
Today, I got a tattoo. My mom got upset and threw a bitch fit about how my body "is a temple and it belongs to God.” I told her, “My body, my choice.” She responded with, “Oh really? Well, my house, my choice who lives here. Pack your shit and get the fuck out.” I’m currently in my car with nowhere to go. FML

So much hate against tattoos and piercings like it somehow represents who the person is on the inside. Horrible.

don't listen to her, she obviously doesn't make great decisions herself.

My mom told my husband that. Except about me. Parents, sometimes, are not parents at all.

My parents hate tattoos and stuff too . It must be the generation gap because in their time, only gang members had tattoos

It concerns me that you say "after promising to behave herself"; is your mother getting drunk a common occurrence? :( Sorry to hear about it OP. I just spent one of the worst weeks of my life practically baby-sitting a drunk family member who can say some very mean things when he is intoxicated, so I really feel for you. Congratulations on your wedding though; I hope that considering what you had to put up with it it was a lovely day :)

If you know she was at risk of some unpleasantness, you have to assign a bridesmaid to watch her, brief waiters not to refill her glass etc etc.. I've been on "grandma" duty before, wasn't easy but worked. Diverting her attention, watching alcohol level etc..
