A bride-to-be has to deal with a tricky family dynamic

The wedding of the 25-year-old bride-to-be is fast approaching and with it, a difficult family dynamic. The bride’s father married Jane 5 years ago, but the bride and her brother were already grown adults by that time. While Jane was always a bit odd, things got more complicated when the bride’s brother pointed out that they were both adults and didn’t need a mother. Jane has said things in the past that made the bride think she was not okay with that. The situation got even more complex with the wording of the wedding program. Jane felt othered by not being listed as a parent , while the bride said she wasn’t a parent and refused to pretend otherwise. Can the bride keep the peace and make it through her wedding unscathed? Read on to see what the Redditors had to say about this tricky situation.
