Bride-to-be encouraged to uninvite parents from wedding ceremony
A bride-to-be is considering excluding her parents from her wedding and completely uninviting them to her big day.
Looking for validation, the Reddit user detailed their predicament in the popular thread, “Am I The A**hole?” And while they might’ve had second thoughts about telling their parents they couldn’t attend their nuptials at first, other Redditors confirmed they made the right decision.
The candid individual started by explaining how long they’ve been with their significant other.
“Me and my girlfriend just got engaged after almost nine years of dating and are planning on having our wedding spring of next year,” they wrote. “With this we have begun planning the wedding and one of the topics that came up was if we want kids at our wedding.”
Because they’re both the oldest in their families, they landed on the decision to not have any kids under the age of 10 at their wedding reception to keep a “more adult style.” Unfortunately, this upset the bride’s mother.
The Reddit user admitted: “When mentioning this to my mother she was not happy with the decision we made as some people will have to leave early because of the no kids rule.”
“There are three families that are invited that have kids under 10 with a total of seven kids under 10 years old,” they continued. “Me and my fiancé were expecting at least one of the parents if not both from each family to leave early to take care of their kids and were completely ok with this as they have other responsibilities to tend to.”
