I'm not sure how the Nana from Rules of Engagement was pushing guys onto the MC. We see Katie scrambling and trying to find someone to marry before the end of the summer, but when Nana wrote her will that wasn't how the situation was supposed to play out at all. Katie was engaged for years when Nana died. It wasn't like she was just dating Trent. She had agreed to marry him. Nana must not have known him as well as Katie's siblings, because otherwise she would have done things differently, but all she was doing was pushing Katie to honor the commitment she already made. Yes, it was a push, but it was supposed to be a push toward something Katie already planned to do. Likewise with Alex she wasn't pushing him into a relationship (or she didn't know she was). She was pushing him to make choices about the relationship she thought he was already in. With Jess she was pushing her to see more of what she was capable of and Nicole she was pushing her to consider other choices in life, but for neither of those was the choice a long term thing. It was a summer only thing. As for Violet she was trying to fix the relationship between the five cousins.

Now, I am behind in Home for the Holidays, so I don't know what's going on with the Mom there, but I don't think she's all that like Nana from Rules of Engagement.
