Imagine planning your wedding and having to make the heart-wrenching decision to uninvite your own parents from the reception. That’s the dilemma one 31-year-old groom-to-be faced when his severely anti-social parents refused to sit in the front row at his wedding. Despite their strained relationship, he still wanted them to have their place as his parents on his big day. But when they declined to be involved in any way, he finally snapped and told them not to bother him anymore. Now, the internet is weighing in on whether he’s justified or just plain cold-hearted.

Justified Decision or Cold-hearted Move?
So, is the groom-to-be justified in uninviting his anti-social parents from his wedding reception, or is he being too harsh? While his in-laws and grandparents think his parents got what they deserved, his parents’ siblings and their kids believe he should invite them as normal guests. With no one refusing to attend the wedding and no major drama unfolding, it seems the only person truly disturbed by this decision is the groom himself. Let’s see what the internet has to say about this emotionally charged situation…
