He Called Off His Wedding After His Fiancée Invited His Estranged Father To Their Ceremony Behind His Back
Do you know someone who’s had to call off a wedding?
It can be a very upsetting moment in a person’s life, but more often than not, it’s what’s for the best.
One man recently had to call off his future wedding after his fiancée invited his estranged father to their ceremony behind his back.
He’s 30 and has been with his 28-year-old fiancée for six years. When he first met his fiancée, he knew she was the one for him right away. They’ve been happily in love for years and got engaged in 2019. Due to the pandemic, they decided to wait until recently to get married.
Family has always been a big part of their relationship, although he has a difficult relationship with his parents, who are separated.
He’s maintained no contact with his dad since he met his fiancée, and she has been told all the stories about his abusive childhood. While he had a rocky relationship with his mom, they had stayed in touch over the years, and she’s spent time with his fiancée.
Recently, his relationships with both his fiancée and mom have been uprooted after this recent incident.
“A couple of weeks ago, we were having dinner at my mom’s house, and she brought up the fact that she talked to my dad, and he was upset that I hadn’t mentioned the wedding to him,” he said.
“I knew she was bringing this up in front of [my fiancée] to start drama, and I told her that he would not be invited. [My fiancée] and I had previously discussed this, and she was very supportive of my decision.”

His mom kept trying to guilt him into inviting his dad that night, but he held his ground and refused to.
He had hoped that would be the last he would hear about the subject, but unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.
Recently, he got a call from his brother, who asked why he changed his mind and invited their dad to his wedding.
He said he had no idea what he was talking about and went home to ask his fiancée if she knew anything about his dad being invited to their wedding.
“I asked if she knew anything about it, and she admitted that she and my mother decided to invite him behind my back,” he recalled.
“[She] said that she was worried I would eventually forgive him and regret not having him at the wedding. I was upset but said I wouldn’t regret it and that I under no circumstance want him there.”
Then, his fiancée told him she was worried about her and their future kids not having a relationship with their grandfather.
After arguing back and forth for a while, his fiancée told him that she couldn’t imagine how he’d treat their kids if he treated his family members like this.
That comment broke his heart, and he became very upset. He told his fiancée that if she felt that way, their wedding was off. He then left their home and checked into a hotel.
His fiancée tried calling and texting him to apologize for days, but he ignored her, telling her they’d chat when he felt ready.
However, his future in-laws invited him over to their home to comfort him and told him no matter what happened between him and their daughter, they’d always love him.
He decided to cut off contact with his mom and didn’t reach out to his fiancée until a week after their initial argument and asked her to meet up with him after one of his therapy sessions.
“I know that I am probably just overreacting, but I just can’t handle this,” he admitted.
“I love [her] completely, but I don’t know how to move forward. I have shared the most intimate details of my life with her, and she used this against me. I am typically not a very emotional person, but I have been a wreck ever since.”
Do you think he and his fiancée can move past this?
