A 25-year-old woman uninvited her stepdad from her wedding because her two siblings didn’t want to come if he was there.
She then took to Reddit and explained that her stepfather helped her out with everything and even offered to fund her wedding.
“My step-dad did what he could to help me out with school and everything, he even offered to fund my wedding which is going to be in five weeks time and I’m very grateful for that though this was his decision,” she wrote.
“I sent Dean and Kevin invitations but once they found out that our step-dad was going to be there, they said they might not come,” she continued.
“They took time to think then gave me an ultimatum saying that if our step-dad is coming then they won’t be. I literally freaked out because I definitely want my brothers to be at my wedding so badly and I tried talking to them but they were being stubborn.”
After talking to her husband about the matter, she decided to ‘uninvite’ her stepdad.
“Later I got a call from my mom yelling at me, calling me hurtful stuff saying I was acting like an ungrateful b**** by excluding her husband from the wedding after everything he’s done for me,” she said.
“I told her that my brothers threatened not to come which pushed me to make this difficult decision because if it was for me I’d have everyone there.
“She cussed me out for prioritising my hateful and cold-hearted brothers over my step-dad and showing him that I’m not worthy of his grace which was really really hurtful for me to hear.”
The bride-to-be turned to Reddit and asked if she made the right decision.
One person wrote: “You should reinvite your step dad and let your brothers know that they after still welcome but that if they don’t come they only have themselves to blame.”
Another wrote: “Your step-dad obviously cares about you and is PAYING for your wedding. He is in no way the problem here. Your brothers are being childish and are the ones you can’t just get along to be there for their sister’s wedding without being petulant little babies about it.”
A third said: “He has been good to you, and I’m not surprised your mum is raging. I can’t imagine the hurt your stepdad must be feeling right now.”
