Her Wife’s Family Was Not Invited To The Wedding After Being Outright Homophobic. Now, They Feel Wronged.
A woman and her wife, twenty-three years old and twenty-four years old, had been childhood friends for practically their whole lives. They even dated for four years before marrying.
Still, her wife’s family never understood or accepted their relationship. Instead, her wife’s family claimed that she was the reason their daughter was gay.
After announcing their engagement, the family was repulsed. They claimed that the woman was forcing their daughter into marriage. They even said that she would never want to be partners with another woman without being influenced.
Rightfully so, the couple ended up leaving their engagement celebration.
“We left our own engagement party and blocked them out of our lives after years of micro-aggressions towards my race and our sexuality,” she said.
Now, a year later, the couple is happily married and is also expecting their first child.
On a random evening, the woman was enjoying a movie with her wife when she received a Facebook direct message. It was from an account name that she did not know. It turns out that the account was her wife’s sister- who had been stalking the woman’s account for months.
At first, the conversation was harmless.
“It was normal catching up; I was close to her a few years back,” she said, “But then, she brought up the wedding.”

The wedding took place during the pandemic, so the invite list already needed to be kept short. As a result, only eleven guests attended the garden wedding- who were mostly the woman’s own family.
After the outrage at their engagement, the woman had never even considered inviting her partner’s family. The family had never even reached out to apologize.
Well, in the Facebook messages, the sister-in-law expressed how sad she was after seeing the wedding online. She felt that her family had missed out on such an important day.
The woman ended up blocking her on Facebook. But still, the messages did not stop.
“She would message me on Instagram, and then she messaged my wife. My wife was the one who made it clear that she wanted no contact with them unless it was for an apology,” she said.
The sister ended up coordinating a date and time for the family to facetime with the couple. But, unfortunately, nothing had changed in the slightest.
“We were yelled at for twenty minutes until I got up to grab water. I am very clearly pregnant, and then, as soon as I got up, they all started praising me, saying I would be an amazing mother,” she said.
The immediate pivot could not have been more obvious. Still, after the woman walked back to the facetime, the family was so disrespectful.
“My mother-in-law kept calling me a single mom, and my father-in-law kept laughing when I said we were raising them together,” she said. Her wife ended up pointing to her wedding ring for obvious reasons, but the family did not stop mocking them.
“They started asking who she was married to, where he is, and if she is planning on having kids with her husband,” she said.
That was the woman’s final straw. She ended up screaming at the family, and for good reason.
“I told them that we are married, we are living together, and we are having a kid,” she said. But then, the mother-in-law still had the nerve to message her later and ask why she hadn’t been invited to the wedding.
“I told her that we didn’t want her there and, since then, my wife’s family has been messaging me almost every day. They keep telling me how sad they are that they missed the wedding,” she said.
Now, the woman is left wondering if she is in the wrong. How would you have responded to this situation?
