After His Mom Called His Fiancée A Gold Digger, As Well As Not The Right Woman For Him, He Uninvited His Mom From His Wedding
Family drama right before a wedding is extremely stressful for couples who simply want to enjoy their special day.
One man recently not only had to uninvite his two aunts but also his mom from his upcoming wedding after what they said about his fiancée.
He’s 25 years old and met his 24-year-old fiancée, Maya, while he was studying abroad for college in Norway.
They fell in love and dated for several years before he recently proposed to her. They plan on having a traditional Norwegian wedding in Norway this upcoming fall.
He wanted to tell his family back in America the good news about their engagement in person, so he and Maya recently traveled back to his home state, where they attended a big dinner party at his Aunt Debra’s house. It would be the third time his parents met Maya and the first time the rest of his relatives met her.
When they announced their engagement at the dinner party, most of the room was ecstatic for them. However, he couldn’t help but notice that his mom, aunt Debra, and another one of his aunts did not seem pleased.
“I didn’t really pay it much mind at first, but as the evening progressed, Maya told me she felt super uncomfortable with the glares she was getting from the three of them,” he remembered.
Maya is not fully confident in speaking English yet, so whenever he spoke to her at the dinner party privately, he’d talk to her in Norwegian. Anytime he did this, he’d get more uncomfortable glares from his mom and aunts.
He had a private moment with his dad to ask what was going on, and his dad assumed his mom was probably upset because after marrying Maya, he’d be living far away in Norway. They both figured she would get over it, and everything was fine.

But then, his mom made an awful speech at the dinner party, and everything was not fine. His mom proposed a toast to him and Maya but then said terrible things about her. She called her offensive names, said she was a gold digger, and said she was not the right woman for her son.
Maya left the dinner party crying as his mom and aunts snickered. There was an awkward silence before he told them that Maya is the most important woman in his life and told them they were uninvited from his wedding before leaving after his fiancée. They decided to stay in a hotel for the rest of their time in America.
After the disastrous dinner party, he’s been receiving calls from family members who want him to put his mom and aunts back on the guest list.
“I feel bad for putting Maya through that and don’t want her to have to deal with anything like that on what’s supposed to be one of the happiest days of our lives,” he explained.
“But at the same time, I’ve been getting calls from my family about how unreasonable I’m being.”
Relatives from his mom’s side of the family have begun to say they won’t go to his wedding if his mom isn’t there, and his sister, who is on his side, believes he has burnt bridges with that side of the family.
Now, his dad is considering not going to the wedding, as he fears how his wife will react. Maya says it’s his choice whether or not he wants to reinvite his mom and aunts. But he still can’t get over how they behaved.
What do you think he should do?
