Lady Star Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 My Dad's mother and father loathed my Mother (and later me, for being their kid?) but still went to their wedding... My Mother always said that they were hypocrites for doing this, as they had no intention of wishing them well... It's a hard call whether someone who just doesn't like you should be at your wedding... Might be best that she didn't show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 My own dad tried to make as much of a nuisance of himself wrt our wedding as possible - like trying to stop my mum doing all the 'mother of the bride' things, and we had to organise the whole thing with a plan B in case he didn't turn up to give me away The straw that broke the camel's back was him turning up late to H's naming party (missing the speeches), refusing to have anything to do with her whilst he was there (including not signing the guest book that's a keepsake for her), and leaving early He no longer exists to me. He had his chance. I'm not bringing H up with her being upset and disappointed that he does things which kids think means somebody doesn't like them - she's worth more than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulabear Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 My brother and I haven't spoke to our parents for 15yrs. Our sister is getting married in September we are all going we are nervous but wouldn't miss it for the world. In my opinion she shouldn't be called a mum if she couldn't put her son first for one day. After my sisters wedding we all know we will go back to not speaking but we all love our sister enough to get on with it for one day! Hope they had a lovely wedding she is the one to lose out in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryRGirl Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I know he might be a bit hurt but you can bet when she's older and looking back on it, it will be ones of her biggest mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scozzie Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I think it is a bit out of order. She should have put her issues behind her and attended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloomdido Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Not missed a wedding, in fact haven't been invited to one for years but I am waiting for someone to die so I can disrupt their funeral and tell their family and friends what a complete bar steward they were.

Blondie73 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 My daughter is also in the slideshow and is terminally ill with Juvenile Huntington's Disease.That was bad enough without his mother not attending. And oil painting or not,beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie_shef Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I actually thought the bride was very attractive... But, family rifts are very hard to solve- especially from The outside. I've found that it requires both sides to make huge sacrifices... Perhaps instead of posting the torn up cheque for 100 pounds, he could have arranged a meeting with her? At the end of the day, you can't chose your family, and you can't really chose your inlaws.. So you might just need to bear with it and hope that both parties come around. Congratulations to the bride and groom anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
