for a long time? maybe he has battled with his mom for his girl countless times before and he knew there was no point to even try arguing with her because karen is going to karen? Sometimes just ignoring someone is better. He looked embarrassed in my opinion. Shaking his head at the end. Maybe his wife is so close to the family already he was just letting her take care of the karen...don't think it means the bride and groom will have issues. IMHO
