Her Future Mother-In-Law Said She’s Not Going To Their Wedding Unless They Change Their Minds About Allowing Children
Child-free weddings have been a hotly debated topic lately. This woman and her fiancé’s mutual decision to have a child-free wedding upset her future mother-in-law so deeply that it caused a lot of drama.
Her future mother-in-law’s other son is who her fiancé chose to be the best man. Her fiancé’s brother is going to have a child soon, and by the wedding date, the baby would be about 8 or 9-months-old.
According to her future mother-in-law, she and her fiancé are leaving her fiancé’s brother out of the wedding because he would have to take care of his child.
However, she pointed out that other family members could take care of the baby during the wedding so that her fiancé’s brother could still fulfill his role as the best man.
She and her fiancé broke the news about their decision to have a child-free wedding while on a day out with the family about two months ago, and her future mother-in-law apparently didn’t take the news well.
“My future mother-in-law threw a tantrum… she spent the rest of the day withdrawn and sulking,” she said.
Then, today, the situation escalated even further. Her future mother-in-law called her fiancé and said that if the baby wasn’t allowed at the wedding, then her fiancé’s brother wouldn’t come, either. Given that fact, her future mother-in-law questioned what the point was of her fiancé asking his brother to be the best man if he wouldn’t be able to go in the first place.
She clarified that even though her future mother-in-law claims that her fiancé’s brother won’t be able to attend the wedding, that’s not the case.
She said that her fiancé’s brother had already told her and her fiancé that he’d be able to attend but that his wife probably wouldn’t be able to.

After that, the phone call between her fiancé and future mother-in-law got even more intense.
“My future mother-in-law said, ‘You’ve ruined it all; there will be no more family gatherings. If your fiancée doesn’t change her mind, I’m not coming to the wedding, and neither is your brother or sister. It would have been such a lovely day. I can’t believe you’re tearing our family apart,'” she explained.
Understandably, she was mad that her future mother-in-law was seemingly trying to cause tension between her and her fiancé while trying to guilt trip her into allowing children to attend the wedding.
Also, she felt that her future mother-in-law viewed her as the bad guy for sticking to what both she and her fiancé wanted for their wedding. Luckily, she and her fiancé agreed that his mother was unreasonable throughout this whole ordeal. Sadly, the phone call between her future mother-in-law and her fiancé didn’t end on a positive note.
“My future mother-in-law ended the call by saying, ‘Tell your fiancée that I don’t want to speak to her or have anything to do with her until she comes to her senses,'” she shared.
Reasonably, she and her fiancé feel that her future mother-in-law is taking their child-free wedding too personally and are upset with her behavior.
But this situation didn’t make her or her fiancé change their minds about having a child-free wedding. If anything, it made them feel even more sure about their decision. She also pointed out that it wouldn’t feel right to give in to her future mother-in-law’s bullying tactics.
Do you think she and her fiancé should have changed their plans to have a child-free wedding? Was her future mother-in-law out of line?
