Creating a wedding guest list is stressful enough without family interference.

This woman found out that her mom invited people to her wedding, and these are people she has never even met!

She doesn’t want these people at her wedding, but she’s wondering if she could’ve handled the situation better.

Read the details of the story below.

AITA for telling my mother she is not allowed to invite strangers to my wedding?

My mother has a new boyfriend, and he has two teenage/adult sons.

My fiancé and I are getting married soon.

It’s a small celebration with only the closest family circle.

This woman’s mom invited some people to her wedding.

A few weeks ago, my mother told me she invited her boyfriend’s sons to our wedding because “they are now part of the family,” and that’s what she wants.

Neither my fiancé nor I have met the sons before, so I told her this was not okay, and we would want to meet them before.

But nothing happened.

Her mother was adamant.

So lately, I tried to talk to my mother about this again.

But she cut me off on the phone.

She messaged me later that one of the sons would like to come, and she said yes.

She got angry and said no.

My fiancé and I were angry about it.

So I messaged her back again.

I said this was not okay, and we do not agree with the situation.

A massive argument followed.

So the conflict escalated.

My mother shouted at me and insulted me.

When I was angry, I also said mean things.

I apologised for that. But, AITA in this situation?

It’s not the mother’s place to invite people to her daughter’s wedding. The bride and groom get to decide who’s on the guest list.

Let’s check out the comments of other people on Reddit.

This user shares their thoughts and some advice.

Short and straight to the point!

This person says to remove them all from the guest list.

She has no right to invite them, says this person.

And lastly, here’s a possible response to the mother.

Your wedding, your decision on who gets invited.
