The groom “uninviting” parents from alcohol -free wedding

A groom is “uninviting” his parents from their weddings because they disagree with his decision to have an alcohol -free wedding.

The groom, 45, explained in a post On Reddits “I am a ——” forum that his parents have complained about his every wedding decision and called every election “wrong.” He was “willing to cope with all that” – until now.

“My family has made nothing more than to make my life more difficult,” he wrote. “I want a gluten -free cake for my husband to be?” No. They don’t taste as good. Just make it a level of the cake. “I want my family to have blue for pictures?” I don’t want my nephew to bring down the rings? ”

With the wedding just a week away, the groom thought he was done hearing wedding criticism, but he was wrong. The “last straw” was his parents’ attitude to his decision not to serve alcohol.

“My parents insisted that we have an open bar instead of a dry wedding,” said the groom.

The groom and his hubby, 49, decided not to offer any alcohol to their wedding guests because they simply “don’t like to drink.” How “tall and disgusting people become when they drink” would also disturb men’s vision of a “simple, beautiful” wedding.

“My parents just couldn’t reject another opportunity to complain about something,” Remained Redditor. “Tell us how,” Oh it’s too hard to meet people without drinks or two “or” It’s a time to celebrate and party! At least have something for us to have! “But I didn’t go.”

He told his parents that his decision to have a dry wedding was final and that they were welcome to leave after the ceremony if they did not think they could enjoy an alcohol -free reception.

“My dad chimped in with ‘I guess I just have to drink in advance then,'” he wrote. “And I lost it. I told him: ‘Actually. You don’t even have to. I’m done. You won’t. You’ve been going over me all the time. But it’s not about you. This day is about me and my hubby. And if you can’t keep you sober to meet his family then you don’t have to meet them at all.’ ”

The groom hubby “supports” his decision and went out with him. But the groom now feels “bad” and questions whether he made the wrong move.

“I am their oldest child who finally marries and I just told them they can’t be there to see it,” he said. “I wonder if I would allow a bottle of champagne at dinner just to calm them or if I would stick to the invitation being removed.”

In the comment section, many Reddit users applauded the groom for standing up for themselves.

“Your parents/family should make your life as simple as possible and not add the stress,” a person wrote partly.

“If your parents can’t spend time with people without taking a drink first, they have bigger problems,” said another individual.

Other comments, however, criticized the poster’s previous wedding decision and said he seemed “controlling.”

“Having a dry wedding is good, but that uninviting your family because your dad can have a drink in advance is ridiculous,” someone claimed. “So ask them to color coordinate – they are not bridesmaids.”
