Weddings are supposed to be a celebration of love, but sometimes they can turn into a battleground for family drama. Our storyteller is getting married soon and wanted to invite their parents to the big day. But when their parents insisted on bringing their younger partner, Dave, the wedding plans took a turn for the worse. The question remains: is our storyteller being unreasonable for not wanting Dave at their wedding, or are their parents the ones causing unnecessary drama?

Wedding Woes: A Family Feud Over Unwanted Guests
Our storyteller is in a pickle. They’re getting married and want their parents there, but not their parents’ younger partner, Dave. When they tried to gently suggest that Dave shouldn’t attend, their parents insisted on bringing him. The situation escalated into a full-blown argument, with the parents saying they’d rather not come if they couldn’t bring Dave. Our storyteller, in a moment of anger, told them not to come. Now, they’re left wondering if they’re being unreasonable or if their parents are the ones causing unnecessary drama. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
