In fact, she’s so against the idea that she plans to leave your wedding early and throw a separate celebration at her house for those with kids! Talk about drama! Let’s dive into this story and see how our groom-to-be handles this sticky situation. ️♂️

Wedding Drama: Uninviting the Parents?!
Our groom-to-be and his fiancée decided to have an adult-only reception for their wedding, which didn’t sit well with his mom. She argued that some people would have to leave early due to the no kids rule, and in an act of defiance, she planned to leave early herself and throw a separate celebration at her house for those with kids. This led to a heated argument between mother and son, with him ultimately uninviting her from the wedding if she insisted on leaving early to throw her own party. As the couple tries to navigate this family drama, they’ve suggested babysitters for the out-of-state families with kids, but none are comfortable with the idea. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation and how our groom-to-be should handle it.
