A father on the popular subreddit AITA is in a predicament after his daughter excluded his husband and son from her upcoming wedding. The father had promised to pay for his daughter’s wedding since she was a little girl, but after his daughter informed him that her future in-laws are conservative and religious and his husband could not attend the wedding, the father changed his mind.
The daughter was not happy with this decision and called her father selfish. The father’s family and ex-wife also criticized him for being selfish. The father apologized for considering exclusion and decided not to pay for the wedding after his daughter refused to change her mind.
This conflict raises questions about the importance of inclusion in family events and the promises we make to our loved ones.

A father’s promise to pay for his daughter’s wedding was broken after the bride-to-be’s conservative in-laws set rules that excluded the father’s family. The daughter requested that her husband’s parents, who are religious and conservative, not be made uncomfortable by the presence of the father’s partner and their child at the wedding.
The father refused and insisted that if the in-laws were so important, they should pay for the wedding themselves. The daughter became angry and called her father selfish, picking favorites, and not thinking about her at all. Despite the daughter’s apology, the father decided not to pay for the wedding.
This incident highlights the tension and conflict that can arise when differing values and beliefs clash in a family setting. The next section will feature reactions and comments on this controversial decision.
