I agree with summer; most of the "born in the church" Mormons I know don't know how to act around non-Mormons. Think of it as a type of learned, mirrored Asperger
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndromeThese people learn how to act in public from parents, friends, etc...
Also, in the back of their minds, they don't see civil (non-temple) marriages as Sacred/Holy or Blessed by God. They see it as a stepping stone to the Temple or just a temporary contract. In death they can have temple rites performed for them if they never get sealed in the temple in this life.
So very, very rude? Yes. But like I said, think of them as autistic, Asperger suffering humans. They don't intend to hurt or offend and don't comprehend or empathize with outsiders view of their words and actions. The Bride probably does want to see her family. Just because she's inactive or leaving, doesn't mean that she doesn't love and care about her Tribe and family. It probably was a huge misstep that your son and daughter-in-law will have to discuss and talk over.
