Title says it all my husband is the oldest and was the first sibling to get married. Every time our anniversary nears I remember during the wedding planning my MIL came up to me and asked me to ask the preacher if he could do a vow renewal ceremony after or during the wedding. When I said it wasn’t a good idea she suggest my dad and step mom renew their vows as well so it would be fair. I simply ignored the request and eventually my MIL dropped it but kept talking about doing a separate vow renewal ceremony after we got married. That ceremony never happened. I even asked my SIL if my MIL requested the same thing when she got married last summer and she looked at me like I had two heads.
I’m sure MIL got excited about wedding and she felt somewhat let down about her wedding since it was hurried along (technically my husband was at his parents wedding but not in any photographs) but I’m still baffled that she would even request that from me. I’m wondering if this is a common request. I know the story isn’t as crazy as other MILs during weddings I’ve heard stories of other MILs wearing wedding dresses or white. I’m just glad my husband isn’t her favorite child because she pretty much just ignores us these days.

She wants a wedding, she can plan her own.
Does she typically struggle with not being the center of attention?
No a complete sentence. Maybe she wants to piggyback on your ceremony because then she thinks she’ll also be the center of attention (and she doesn’t have to plan/pay an entire wedding or ceremony). It’s not your or your husbands fault that her wedding was rushed.
