Weddings are very important events, and you want to make sure everything goes smoothly on the big day.

So what happens if you have a sibling who is known for causing drama and a mom who defends her every time?

That is what this groom is facing, so he decides not to invite them to his wedding at all.

Check it out.

AITA for not having my sister at my wedding?

My older sister Mandi (37) has always been a spoiled drama queen.

She likes to talk smack and gossip about people.

Sounds like trouble.

She criticizes everything.

My mom enables her and expects me and my other sister to just put up with her.

I’m getting married and my bride wanted to possibly take my mother dress shopping with my future MIL, bridesmaids (that does include my other sister but not Mandi) and my mom.

It isn’t about Mandi!

My mom insisted my bride had to take Mandi and I said no because my fiancée and other sisters can’t stand her.

My mom said something like don’t be surprised if Mandi shows up at the wedding in a white or red dress.

I told my mom that’s fine.

Mandi is not invited because if you her own mother doesn’t think she can behave she is not coming.

Too late, she already said it.

My mom tried to backtrack and say she was joking and I said no.

Obviously you know Mandi can’t behave and you would support it with making stupid comments like this so Madi is not coming.

I also told my mom she is also no longer invited to dress shopping and she’s on probation and doesn’t straighten up she will not be invited to the wedding.

Who cares what people say.

My mom ask what will people say if her or Mandi aren’t at the biggest event of my life.

I said nothing because my sister and I will put out the truth that Mandi is toxic trash dumpster and you enabled her.

My mom told me to go **** myself and she’s not coming to the wedding now.

It’s honestly fine by me because it’s less stressful situation because I’m sure my mom would still find a way to bring Mandi to my wedding day.

AITA?

Nope, it is his wedding and there is no reason to invite people who will cause problems.

Let’s see what the people in the comments have to say.

Looks like mom and sister will be having a quiet night at home.

Which is what they’ve earned.
