Why do you say that , Bruce and Limey ?

I can't speak for Bruce, but you do get on my nerves and I'd understand it if you got on your mother-in-law's nerves too, so I'd understand if she removed you from the photos but kept the pictures of her son. I was being flippant in a cruel way (or cruel in a flippant way). On a more serious note, I also agree with Hoof-Hearted that the fact that the photos are diplayed like that means that the mother-in-law wants to be asked about it. Does the bride/wife have the gumption to ask her mother-in-law what's up?
As with all posts asking for an interpretation of a third party's actions - the only way to find out is to ask the third party. Even they might not understand why they do what they do, of course.
