Tiffs with your in-laws usually come after the wedding.
A Wisconsin woman stabbed her boyfriend in the neck after getting into an argument with her future mother-in-law over the couple’s wedding venue, authorities said.
The fiance of Kailee Brantner, 22, of Brookfield, “had woken up to text messages and screenshots between the defendant and his mother, and this caused an argument” over using the couple’s home as a wedding venue, according to Fox 6.
Brantner then allegedly instigated an argument — which quickly turned violent.

The victim, who was not identified, told cops that he initially pushed his aggressive fiancee away after she “attacked him without warning” when he returned home from work early, according to the complaint cited by the outlet.
However, Brantner followed him into the kitchen, where she grabbed a knife.
“The defendant attacked him and tore his whole shirt off,” the document alleged.
The victim told cops he went to grab his things in the basement with the knife-wielding Brantner following.
She lunged at him, “and swung a couple of times,” slashing the victim, who “knew he was bleeding but did not know where,” according to the complaint.
Brantner swung the knife several times at the victim — hitting him in the neck twice and forcing him to drop to his knees, according to Fox 6.
Brookfield Police Department detectives arrived to find the victim holding a towel to his bleeding neck — and Brantner sitting by herself on the couch. She told police that she brought the towel for her bleeding beau.
Officers recovered a bloody, pink-handled knife from the kitchen, according to the outlet.
Brantner claims she was acting out of fear her boyfriend would batter her, according to the complaint.
She faces a charge of first-degree reckless injury and is due back in court on Feb. 13.
