If the purpose was to make him happy, COOL but you know that could spark a couple's argument.

If the purpose was to piss her off, UNCOOL and you all put forth more mental effort than necessary.

At the end of the day, the couple is responsible for their quirks and arguments. But, I firmly believe that all outsiders (including family members) need to remain outsiders. Sometimes that means not attending an event or playing the backseat if necessary. Choose whatever you (in general) choose and be done with it.
