She’s Not Going To Her Cousin’s Wedding Since His Fiancée Hates Her And Has Made Nasty Comments About Her Being A Single Mom And College Dropout
This 28-year-old woman was invited to the wedding of her cousin Jake. Jake, 28, is the first in their family to be getting married. Unfortunately, Jake’s fiancée, Amy, 30, doesn’t like her, so she rejected their wedding invite.
Amy gave her a glare the first time the two of them were introduced, but she assumed that maybe this was because Amy was from abroad. However, in hindsight, she thinks it’s because Amy didn’t like her from the moment they met.
Since meeting each other, whenever Amy was around her, Amy would make rude remarks about her.
A lot of the remarks were negatively criticizing how she’s a single mother, a college dropout who’s now getting back into classes, and even the food she chooses to eat.
“This past week, at a family party, I was talking about my son having a parent event for his soccer club. I said I was a bit nervous participating, and Amy told me, ‘Well, it’s your fault the dad isn’t in the picture to do so.’ I gained a lot of weight recently (30 pounds), and Amy said I shouldn’t be ordering anything but soups and salads for the good of myself while at a restaurant,” she said.
Earlier this week, Jake and Amy dropped by so that they could invite her and her family to their upcoming wedding. Once they left, her sister told her that Amy asked her to be a bridesmaid.
At first, she didn’t have an issue with this or think anything was off, so she just told her sister congratulations. However, her sister asked her if she’d been asked to be a bridesmaid, and when she said she hadn’t been, her sister looked stunned.
Later on, she learned that Jake and Amy had asked all of their siblings and cousins to be bridesmaids and groomsmen, but she had been excluded. Understandably, she felt hurt that she was left out, but she did her best to move on.
“My sister was mad on my behalf and went to complain to my parents and aunts. Long story short, this has started a fight between Jake and Amy versus my family. Jake’s mom was really angry that I wasn’t part of the bridal party. But Jake and Amy don’t want me to be a bridesmaid because I’m not a traditional woman,” she explained.

As the bickering back and forth continued, she felt like it wasn’t worth all the drama, and she no longer wanted to attend the wedding at all.
She was depressed that she’d been excluded, but since she wasn’t the one getting married, Jake and Amy could do whatever they wanted with their wedding, and she didn’t want to keep the argument going.
Her family wanted to skip the wedding in solidarity with her, but she told them that she’d be okay and they could feel free to attend the wedding and have fun.
“Amy did reach out to me yesterday about it. She just said, ‘Sorry I didn’t pick you as a bridesmaid because you don’t match my image. I want a traditional wedding, and you aren’t that.’ Then, she was going on about how I would make the wedding pictures uneven.’ I just responded, ‘I’m not going anymore. I don’t need your reasonings on whatever you think,'” she shared.
When she sent this text message, she assumed that Amy would be glad to know she was no longer attending the wedding.
Instead, Amy was furious, texting her in all caps that she wished she hadn’t invited her in the first place. Amy continued, saying that she would regret her decision not to come to the wedding.
Now, she doesn’t know what to think. She’s debating on having a beach day with her son on Jake and Amy’s wedding day to get her mind off all the drama.
However, her entire family is trying to convince her to attend the wedding. Amy has made her feel unwanted, and Jake hasn’t reached out to her at all.
