She said the kid walked in while she was making the comment to her husband in what she thought was private. I'm guessing the comment was something along the line of "Did you get a load of the fake boobs on Sally's mom? I wonder how long she's had those." Or "Wow, that is really a BRIGHT shade of red that Sally's mom dyes her hair. It's like I love Lucy meets Ronald McDonald." or "What makes a person get a Tweetie Bird tattoo on their breast? And then why would you get a dress that shows that off?" Given what else OP has said about the MIL, I'm guessing there was something notable to comment on.
I mean, really, if you've never made a snarky comment to your spouse about another person, you must be a veritable saint.
The MIL is 70+ and has dyed black hair with blonde chunky streaks in it.

yup.
Nope. Changing the rules at the very last minute (no kids at the ceremony because it will stress out the bride, no kids at the reception because it's not kid friendly) is the height of rudeness. Weddings are about families, not bridezilla behavior.

You must be very lonely if you cut people off every time they make a mistake.

Ooh it gets better. Apparently my mom asked the MIL if I needed to get a babysitter and she said no!

Blah, blah, blah. You chose to involve yourself and your child in this toxic scenario. Own your choices.
?
I was invited to my brother’s wedding with my family. My extended family who are ill drove in to come. Why would I not “involve” myself by RSVPing? I didn’t know MIL was a nut job and thought it would be a normal wedding. And I have attended weddings before, as have my kids.
And you had a huge fight with your brother, and then you were asked to not bring your child to this and that...
I didn’t have a huge fight with my brother. Stop making shit up.
UMMM...in your own words: "He said something along the lines that I’m a horrible person and he hopes I lose my job. He is actually somewhat mentally ill so it is not unusual."
And yet you still chose to attend.
Cat got your tongue, OP?
I'm wondering if OP's horrible family members are here commenting. Or else it's just one sophomore boy getting his jollies by goading her on.

I just met the MIL here. I was talking to DH and said something about her looks and didn’t realize DS was listening. It wasn’t “so much shit”... it was one sentence and he repeated it and I will be forever mortified. My beef is not with her.
You should apologize. "I'm afraid that i said something horrible that I shouldn't have said. I'm very ashamed of myself and apologize to you. It was very out of character for me and will never happen again."
Then go talk to your 7 yr old and tell him you were wrong to say what you said. Then tell him when gossiping, he is only to ever repeat good news.

So not only did MIL ruin the wedding for us, she made it less fun for her new SIL.
So now you believe and trust in your brother, who recently yelled at you and said he hoped you lost your job?
Got it.
You are one of the lucky ones, no mental illness around you, aren't you?
I protect myself and my kids. Always. Haven’t seen my bipolar uncle for years after he threatened my cousins.
I am with you, but I fully understand people who don't cut the people off from their lives. I can't handle mental illness so I isolate

Good that he recognized that he was awful to you and your kids because he really was. But just try to forget about it and move on with your brother. Weddings are for 1 day, family is for life.
