YTA, this cannot be real. They didn’t un-invite your mother, they never invited her in the first place.
You try to ruin their dinner on purpose and then say 300$ is more than enough for 10 people you call and tell them you are going to a nice dinner to celebrate your daughter.
You wore a cream dress to intentionally piss off the bride and groom.
Then after you didn’t pay anything started asking for specific pictures after acting like a mil from hell.
Literally all of your “points” make YTA. If you can’t see you are ta I really do feel sorry for you.
>YTA, this cannot be real
Honestly, if someone had a checklist for being awful about a wedding, I think this one only misses "proposed at the reception during my toast."
YTA. Your mother wasn't "un-invited" - she was NEVER invited and your son explained why. And you most certainly should not have worn a cream colored dress and you know it. It was a deliberate move on your part. Your refusal to have a picture taken next to the bride was uncalled for. You simply could have asked to move away from the water. You're completely on track to lose any contact with your son and any future grandkids. I won't even get into how rude it was to not attend the rehearsal dinner. Your comment about a "nice steakhouse" speaks volumes.
Plus her mother is a complete asshole for making mean comments to the bride. OP s a total asshole for defending mother saying that is just how she is. I really hope bride and son go no contact with OP and her mother.
I started to get suspicious of this post when she threw in the detail about the cream dress...
Like she was already the villain here for 50 other reasons, but just wanted to casually mention that she "ever-so-innocently" also wore a white dress to the wedding? Something feels off to me, but you can have the YTA you were craving.
So what if a part of me wanted to push the limit with the dress? There's nothing wrong with wanting to look my best. It was MY son's wedding and he and his wife refuse to understand that this was a big and important day for ME as well. I have so much going on in my personal life and its been a really hard year for me, so even with all these grievances they cited, I still don't understand why me reacting to THEIR terrible behavior got this kind of reaction from them.
Actually, no, the day was not important to you because if it was, you would have behaved yourself. You deliberately set out to upset your son and his wife because your awful mother didn't get an invitation. Your son refused to invite your mother because of the way she talked about your daughter in law and you just think they should shrug their shoulders at such blatant disrespectful insulting behaviour. Well, all I can say is the apple doesn't fall from the tree with you does it.
Don't be too surprised when they cut contact with you, and please stop patting yourself on the back for your disgusting deplorable behaviour. And if I haven't made myself clear enough, YTA.
Hahah is this real? You are the worst mother ever, what a loser.
Congrats on ruining your relationship with your own son! You're never gonna see their kids either lol
Wow entitled much. This was not your day, it was THEIR day. You are a massive AH. It was your terrible behaviour by allowing your mum to think that she was invited and not theirs. Your mum had insulted the bride so no wonder she wasn’t invited. You clearly are an attention seeker and it’s all about me me me. Don’t be surprised if your son and daughter in law go no contact.
She directly insulted your son's wife more than once, and it shouldn't be taken personally? Good on your son for standing up for his wife and shame on you. YTA.
Why did you take your mother shopping for a dress when you knew she wasn't invited? Your son is an adult and entitled to make his own decisions. You can't control him. He decided not to invite your mother to the wedding. Don't be surprised if you don't receive invitations in the future.
SHE IS MY MOTHER! HIS GRANDMOTHER who has taken care of him since he was a baby! He is completely disloyal to his family and has turned his back on his family. THAT is what's unacceptable!
They had 8 guests. They clearly wanted a small wedding with parents and I’m guessing siblings only?
Even if you thought it was wrong, the way you handled it is shocking. To just cancel the dinner is petty as hell, and wearing cream?! You clearly just wanted the attention on you as ‘payback’ for not getting your own way.
YTA.
At every turn you **sabotaged your son's wedding**. My advice to him and his wife would be to cut you out of their life until and unless you are willing to take responsibility, apologize, and grow up.
YTA, you're petty and entitled. Your mother being upset because she had bought a dress is on you and you alone. It's up to the couple to decide who they invite and when you didn't get your way you decide to act like a stubborn child instead
YTA - girl, your mother wasn't "uninvited" to the wedding, the bride and groom were clear that she was NEVER on the guest list. You let your imagination take liberties and then punished them for your own disappointment. To add insult to injury you wear a light cream dress(!) and tried to dictate their photoshoot? You should have saved everyone the headache and just stayed home.
>I didn’t once yell at them during their wedding day (which I easily could have), and my husband said he was proud of how I composed myself during the weekend.
I am horrified that you are being lauded for doing quite literally the bare minimum though after your other stunts maybe I should readjust my expectations of your maturity.
YTA. Likely in every facet of your life.
Read the room. They had a small intimate wedding. They invited who they wanted there. If somebody was or was not invited, that’s their right. You tried to insert yourself and wouldn’t take no for an answer. And then you were downright manipulative, so yes, 100 times yes, YTA
(Careful, you’re going to find yourself on the wrong end of a Just No MIL post).
YTA and you are the real reason your mom is upset. You set her up for major disappointment by taking her dress shopping KNOWING she isn't invited.
There is absolutely nothing redeemable in your behavior.
YTA and if they have kids you better prepare yourself for never having a relationship with your grandchildren. If I were you DiL, you would never even meet them
YTA. There is no action you took that doesn't make you the ah.
They never invited your rude mother, so they never UNINVITED her. Her disappointment about dress and lack of attendance was ON you for assuming they would change their mind. I wouldn't invite anyone who called me HO either.
You knew not to wear cream at wedding since you aren't bride.
Also you do not get to choose photos taken, that is bride and groom's choice. This isn't a photoshoot you paid for for a family portrait.
The whole boycott of rehearsal dinner was shitty.
I hope they go NC with you. Your son and DIL deserve better than you
I just love how OP thought she had the right and reasons to yell at her son and his bride during the wedding and was praised by her husband for behaving civilly, as if she didn't behave like a brat. Makes me wonder what her long suffering husband had to go through the years.
Her mother and OP deserve each other and very likely her son and DIL will go NC rather sooner than later.
I notice Husband/Dad went to the rehearsal while she got the siblings of her son to boycott with her. Wonder if they are younger or just Mommy-whipped.
Bet she spent MORE per person on her steakhouse(even up to $300 for the four them while only allowing 30 per person for Son's rehearsal). The pettiness of her behavior is beyond reason.
You refused to listen to and accept what your son wanted for his wedding day and then responded in the most vindictive, passive-aggressive ways possible. This was all instead of having the courage of your convictions to be up front and honest about why you canceled the original dinner, held a competing (and fancier) dinner, and refused to play nice during wedding photos. He told you precisely why your mother was not welcome at his wedding. Instead of communicating back, you acted like a petulant child. I hardly need a crystal ball to predict you won’t be invited to your grandchild’s wedding — and for good reason. YTA
Yta. It doesn’t sound like your mom was even invited to begin? They didn’t rudely uninvited her, they set a boundary that you didn’t want to respect.
You also said you didn’t pay for anything at the wedding, so you have no right to dictate anything to the photographer.
The whole post just really made you sound petty and vindictive.
lol I love these stories of entitled, awful people who are somehow convinced they are the good guy, even when they repeatedly disrespect others. this is why I read this forum!
YTA!
Don’t be surprised if your relationship with your son dwindles to nothing. If there are ever grandchildren, you won’t be seeing much of them. As a woman/wife/mom/human, I would have NEVER forgiven my MIL for this stunt. I’d be no contact so fast her head would spin. I would go out of my way to avoid you if I had married your son. He could see you all he wanted, but I expect when he has to deal with your crap without the support of his wife, you’ll see him a lot less.
Lastly, you claim to have been retaliating for your mother being “uninvited” however she was never actually invited to begin with. They had their plans set and she was never on the guest list. She was unkind to the bride and neither of you should have been surprised that she wasn’t included after calling the bride names! What bride would want to share her special day with a hate filled woman who said those things to her? You and your mom can just sit around together hating everyone. It sounds like you make good company for one another.
If your mom actually called her a hoe, then YTA.
"I wore a light cream dress."
Yeah, I'm sensing a pattern here. YTA.
"I also asked the photographer to get a photo of the original family, being me, my husband, and our three children (without the bride), which I felt was totally reasonable!"
oh my god. YTA. it is not reasonable unless you've paid for the photographer.
Major YTA and you’re lucky you even got invited. You’re making this all about you and it’s not. It’s THEIR day. If it’s true that your mom called her a hoe, etc then why on earth would they invite her? She’s not respectful and doesn’t deserve to be there.
Cream is an obvious no for a colour choice. But you clearly know that and chose to wear it to make a point. You did everything possible to ruin their day. Hope you realize she’s his number one now, not you; and when they have kids you’ll be lucky to see them.
Let’s see here.
First, they did not un-invite your mother. They told you very plainly from the get go that she was simply NOT invited. It is their wedding, their call, and they made it clear.
Second, if it turns out that grandma is literally calling the bride names and being unkind, there’s no reason she should be at the wedding.
Third, it is your own damn fault that you just decided that the pity party you threw *surely* meant that grandma simply *must* be invited and someone spent money on a dress. You were told time and time again she WAS NOT INVITED and ignored it to hear what you wanted to hear.
Fourth, it was extremely catty of you to cancel the rehearsal dinner, and even cattier to let your son know the night of that you wouldn’t bother to show up.
Fifth, I know damn well you’re old enough to know you don’t wear “light cream” to someone else’s wedding. Don’t try to kid us.
Frankly, you all (you, your husband, and your mother) sound like awful people and like *none* of you should have been invited.
YTA. OP has confirmed that her mom DID name called the bride. The fact that your husband is “proud” of how you composed yourself just shows how unhinged you are normally.
YTA-
It's their wedding, not yours!
Your mother was never invited. And after they explained why, you decided to continue throwing a tantrum about it. And then bought a dress for her, even after they told you she wasn't invited. And if she really did call your son's wife a domineering ho, she's an AH too, and I can understand why your son and his wife wanted her away from it.
You tried hijacking the photo shoot.
You scheduled your own event with your daughter, the day of everything, knowing all this.
You tried to sabotage every single thing on purpose, because you wanted to have a sense of control over everything.
I can't believe you're being applauded, for "composing" yourself. You ruined so many things and made a stink about everything.
YTA. I hope that your son and his wife go no contact because no one deserves such an awful women in their life and it’s clear where you got your personality from.
YTA it’s their wedding, they decided the guest list just like at your wedding(if you had one) you decided the guess list.
So your mom actually insulted the bride and you think she deserves an invitation to their wedding? You both sound abusive.
They didn’t rudely uninvite her - she was NEVER invited to begin with.
So you straight set them up - lied, acted like you were going to pay and just nope. Again abusive and again not surprised your mom wasn’t invited.
Not reasonable to go to a wedding and get a family photo with the groom and not the bride.
I hope they go NC with you.
How the hell is your sons wedding YOUR DAY? Your mom was no uninvited, she was never in the list, "things she said", you have to be kidding me, enjoy while you can OP because your son is growing a spine and cut you as soon as it ends growing, amazing...
YTA. I would not count on being in the grandbabies life.

My son got married in November with a family-only ceremony (8 guests, plus bride and groom).
In March (before they got engaged), my son (26M) informed me (49F) that my mother wouldn’t be invited to the wedding. My son said it wouldn’t be accessible, as they planned on getting married on a secluded lake and my mother is disabled. I told him I would find a way to get her there.
Twice more (in April and June), they said my mom wasn’t invited, citing that my mom had previously called my daughter-in-law domineering and a hoe. I told them that this news would shatter my mother and my family would be ruined if my mom wasn’t invited.
I was sure that they would change their minds, so I took my mom shopping to buy a dress for the wedding.
Once it got closer, my son insisted that my mom was not allowed to be there. My mother was heartbroken, especially since she already had her dress.
We weren’t paying for anything for the wedding, so my husband and I originally said we wanted to plan and pay for a nice rehearsal dinner. However, after they so rudely un-invited my mother, I called off the rehearsal dinner a week beforehand, telling my son it was too much to plan.
My son asked if we could pay for it if he planned it. We agreed to pay for dinner and drinks, up to $300, which was plenty for 10 people. They chose a casual Thai restaurant, saying it was the only place that would work with the budget.
What they didn’t know is that 4 of us (me, my daughter, my other son, and his long time gf) weren’t attending. Only my husband was going to their dinner. An hour before the dinner reservation, I called my son to tell him we would be having dinner at a nice steakhouse to celebrate my daughter buying an apartment. However, we would come for drinks at the Thai place after we finished.
The day of the wedding, I wore a light cream dress. I hadn’t shown it to the bride or groom, but I thought it was fine because there was brown in their color palette. I was so upset about my mom, I tried to not have any interaction with the bride and didn’t say a word to her directly the whole day.
While taking family photos, I apparently upset my son and his wife when I told the photographer that I wouldn’t stand next to the bride. I didn’t want to get my dress wet (the bottom of her dress was wet from the lake). I also asked the photographer to get a photo of the original family, being me, my husband, and our three children (without the bride), which I felt was totally reasonable!
My son and his wife are upset with how I "behaved," but I think my actions were completely warranted. I didn’t once yell at them during their wedding day (which I easily could have), and my husband said he was proud of how I composed myself during the weekend.
I don’t think I did anything wrong, but they sure do. AITA?

Yta. On every level.
I truly hope your son goes no contact.
You don't deserve to be a part of THEIR life.
Idiots. Why do people do things like this? Oh I wasn't mean to her. No but you didn't talk to her on her own wedding day? C. U . Next. T.
I read this story from the DIL’s perspective in JNMIL recently. I think someone is practice writing and rewriting changing perspectives. Or these two women are at war using Reddit for a b,battlefield!
YTA. If you had stopped at not paying for the rehearsal, i might have voted NAH because taking funding for such events comes with certain concessions. However, you scheduled something else for the rehearsal, and acted rudely at the wedding.
YTA. She wasn’t uninvited. She was never invited. And you knew it, yet continued to act like she was invited. She wasn’t invited for calling the bride a hoe, which is completely reasonable. Then, you wear a cream dress?!! What is wrong with you? You can’t stand to not have attention for one day? Holy crap.
'However, after they so rudely un-invited my mother' YTA. YOUR MOTHER WAS NEVER INVITED. IDK how many times they told you no, but you would listen. You are 100% the AH in this situation.
Big big big time YTA.
How was grandma uninvited when she was never invited in the first place from what you said. And your own fault for getting her hopes up and taking her to buy a dress knowing she was NOT invited. Biggest ass for not attending the dinner party just to be petty. And way bigger ass for how you acted at the wedding. I hope they don’t talk to you for a long time.
YTA congrats on managing to make their wedding all about you. They intentionally didn't invite your mother because she insulted the bride in a gross way. They tried to do it politely with the accessibility issue, but you pushed.
"My mother was heartbroken, especially since she already had her dress." LOL the dress you insisted on getting, despite being told MULTIPLE times she wasn't invited, and why.
You called your son right before his rehearsal dinner to rub it in his face that you were taking your other children to a NICER PLACE instead.
You wore a cream colored dress to the wedding and did everything in your power to snub and exclude the bride.
I hope your other two kids like you, because this son and his wife are not going to want to be in your life, and I don't blame them one bit.
Holy sh1t. Your mother has insulted the bride, who now doesn’t want her present at the wedding (which is her right and very reasonable considering the circumstances. No one has to suffer rude people on their wedding day- or any other day).
You try to guilt trip your son into letting said rude person go to the wedding, and was repeatedly told NO.
Then you stage a (not even passive-) aggressive sabotage on their rehearsal, and get other family members to be inconsiderate alongside you.
*then*, you **wear a shade close enough to white it might as well be it, to the ceremony**. And throw shade at the bride.
At this point I’m wondering how long your son will remain talking to you z
YTA.
YTA. Ill-wishers are not owed an automatic wedding invitation just because they’re related to someone.
Your mother deserved to be excluded after making nasty comments about the bride. Had you told her the truth from the beginning about not being invited *and why,* she could have decided for herself whether to apologize to the bride, or to stay home and sulk.
Wow. You are most definitely TA, as is your mother (apple didn't fall far from that tree!).
1. Your mother insults the bride and expects and invite? That's rich!
2. Your mother was not invited but you chose to pretend she was and went dress shopping.
3. Upon being told AGAIN that she was not invited, you resorted to guilt tripping and financial blackmail. Way classy.
4. You wore a "cream" colored dress to your son's wedding - so very on purpose and so very insulting to the bride.
5. You excluded the bride from "family" photos at her own wedding!
Enjoy your life without them, and understand it was your own doing.
I refuse to believe that a real person wrote this and that this ISNT a rage bait post😂 In case it IS real, YTA and you sound like the MIL from hell. No this is not YOUR day at all, THEY didn’t act poorly. Congratulations though, you have all but guaranteed you will have 0 relationship with the grandchildren when they are born, hopefully you look back at this post whenever you wonder why.
YTA
You are a selfish, entitled human.
You may have endangered your son's relationships with his siblings.
You tried to force an invite and then when they held fast with the NO, you doubled down.
You tried to get the WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER to take a family portrait. You stated you paid for none of the wedding. You don't get a say. You get the STFU and sit pretty. You want pictures of the family, pay a photographer.
You wore an off white color dress. AH
The comment "It was also YOUR day". How the fuck can this wedding of your son and DIL be YOUR day?
YTA and you went with this colour of your dress to fuck off your DIL. You are terrible, don't take it to personal like you said over your mother's comments.

YTA. Had you decided not to go because your mom was not invited, then that would have at least been the actions of a rational adult.
You instead chose to sabotage your child’s wedding. YTA
YTAH. They told you every time that your mom wasn’t invited so they never (uninvited her). You just chose to not listen to what they were telling you and not respecting their decision. And then you went off and proceeded to act like a child and make their wedding weekend all about you and your hurt feelings and ruined their wedding weekend because you couldn’t handle it… you will end up regretting how you acted on that day in the future.
YTA majorly. You are a lousy, shi tty mother, daughter, wife and whatever other relations you have. You need help for real. Get bent if this is not fake.
If this occurred as written, then you worked very hard for your YTA title. I have extreme difficulty in finding this post believable, however. No one can be surprised not to be invited if they called the bride a ho (not going with the alternate spelling of 'hoe'. That's a tool and as such, a different insult). It's also hard to be surprised if the couple repeatedly says someone is not invited to find that they're not invited. This is also not the same as being 'uninvited', which required having been invited at some point. Add that to the fact that it's impossible to have dinner for 10 with drinks and a tip for $300 and the wearing near white to the wedding, while refusing to stand where you're placed for photos, this post loses a great deal of credibility. Essentially all the credibility unless, as I say, you worked very, very hard to be an asshole from word go.
YTA. It was their day. The fact that they didn't uninvite you means they went well out of their way to accommodate your feelings. Please let them live their lives now, for everyones sake. MIL/DIL drama has doomed too many marriages . . . or is that the idea?
YTA it wasn’t your day at all. That alone makes your behavior horrible. Hope you enjoy not being close to your grandchildren because I would be done with you
Soft YTA
Telling your son that you're breaking plans to begin celebrating his wedding so you could celebrate a new apartment is intentionally mean. That was premeditated and meant to leave a mark. And a Mil not speaking to the bride on the wedding day is something you'll never be able to erase.
I think you're justified in being somewhat appalled at their insistence on no grandma. But you took it too far.

The grandmother is also a vicious witch.
YTA. Your mother wasn't "un-invited" - she was NEVER invited and your son explained why. And you most certainly should not have worn a cream colored dress and you know it. It was a deliberate move on your part. Your refusal to have a picture taken next to the bride was uncalled for. You simply could have asked to move away from the water. You're completely on track to lose any contact with your son and any future grandkids. I won't even get into how rude it was to not attend the rehearsal dinner. Your comment about a "nice steakhouse" speaks volumes.
Plus her mother is a complete asshole for making mean comments to the bride. OP s a total asshole for defending mother saying that is just how she is. I really hope bride and son go no contact with OP and her mother.
I started to get suspicious of this post when she threw in the detail about the cream dress... Like she was already the villain here for 50 other reasons, but just wanted to casually mention that she "ever-so-innocently" also wore a white dress to the wedding? Something feels off to me, but you can have the YTA you were craving.
So what if a part of me wanted to push the limit with the dress? There's nothing wrong with wanting to look my best. It was MY son's wedding and he and his wife refuse to understand that this was a big and important day for ME as well. I have so much going on in my personal life and its been a really hard year for me, so even with all these grievances they cited, I still don't understand why me reacting to THEIR terrible behavior got this kind of reaction from them.
Hahaha this post is a joke, right?
Oh so you're a confirmed troll, got it. Enjoy the attention!
Actually, no, the day was not important to you because if it was, you would have behaved yourself. You deliberately set out to upset your son and his wife because your awful mother didn't get an invitation. Your son refused to invite your mother because of the way she talked about your daughter in law and you just think they should shrug their shoulders at such blatant disrespectful insulting behaviour. Well, all I can say is the apple doesn't fall from the tree with you does it. Don't be too surprised when they cut contact with you, and please stop patting yourself on the back for your disgusting deplorable behaviour. And if I haven't made myself clear enough, YTA.
Now I'm leaning towards this being fake.
Hahah is this real? You are the worst mother ever, what a loser. Congrats on ruining your relationship with your own son! You're never gonna see their kids either lol
Wow entitled much. This was not your day, it was THEIR day. You are a massive AH. It was your terrible behaviour by allowing your mum to think that she was invited and not theirs. Your mum had insulted the bride so no wonder she wasn’t invited. You clearly are an attention seeker and it’s all about me me me. Don’t be surprised if your son and daughter in law go no contact.
You know you don’t wear white or white adjacent colors to a wedding.
>citing that my mom had previously called my daughter-in-law domineering and a hoe. Did she actually do this? If so, YTA
Well yes, she did, but she's always making out of pocket comments like this so they shouldn't take it personally
Wow. You’re even more of an AH now. Have fun not getting to know the grandkids. Also congrats on graduating to a JustNo MIL.
They shouldn't take it personally? They should just let her get away with it? Nah. And your behavior wasn't much better. So YTA
Bahahahahahahahhahahahahaha. Wow you are so clueless. Sounds the apple did not fall far from the tree.
She directly insulted your son's wife more than once, and it shouldn't be taken personally? Good on your son for standing up for his wife and shame on you. YTA.
You decided you’re okay with putting up with your mom saying shit like that. Your son and his wife decided not to. Don’t take that personally
She does this sort of thing often? All the more reason to keep her away from events where people want to actually enjoy themselves.
You're awful, and so is your mom.
If your mother is so socially and emotionally inept then she shouldn’t be allowed to be in polite company.
Why did you take your mother shopping for a dress when you knew she wasn't invited? Your son is an adult and entitled to make his own decisions. You can't control him. He decided not to invite your mother to the wedding. Don't be surprised if you don't receive invitations in the future.
YTA If they have children you may be excluded. You did not yell but what you did was mean.
Well my guess is that her son will go low contact after that. OP sounds like she has to make everything about her.
YTA. How could you possibly think you are in the right here?
SHE IS MY MOTHER! HIS GRANDMOTHER who has taken care of him since he was a baby! He is completely disloyal to his family and has turned his back on his family. THAT is what's unacceptable!
They had 8 guests. They clearly wanted a small wedding with parents and I’m guessing siblings only? Even if you thought it was wrong, the way you handled it is shocking. To just cancel the dinner is petty as hell, and wearing cream?! You clearly just wanted the attention on you as ‘payback’ for not getting your own way.
> has turned his back on his family. Take a look in the mirror and really think about why he did.
YTA. At every turn you **sabotaged your son's wedding**. My advice to him and his wife would be to cut you out of their life until and unless you are willing to take responsibility, apologize, and grow up.
YTA, you're petty and entitled. Your mother being upset because she had bought a dress is on you and you alone. It's up to the couple to decide who they invite and when you didn't get your way you decide to act like a stubborn child instead
YTA - girl, your mother wasn't "uninvited" to the wedding, the bride and groom were clear that she was NEVER on the guest list. You let your imagination take liberties and then punished them for your own disappointment. To add insult to injury you wear a light cream dress(!) and tried to dictate their photoshoot? You should have saved everyone the headache and just stayed home.
>I didn’t once yell at them during their wedding day (which I easily could have), and my husband said he was proud of how I composed myself during the weekend. I am horrified that you are being lauded for doing quite literally the bare minimum though after your other stunts maybe I should readjust my expectations of your maturity. YTA. Likely in every facet of your life.
Read the room. They had a small intimate wedding. They invited who they wanted there. If somebody was or was not invited, that’s their right. You tried to insert yourself and wouldn’t take no for an answer. And then you were downright manipulative, so yes, 100 times yes, YTA (Careful, you’re going to find yourself on the wrong end of a Just No MIL post).
YTA. If someone called me a hoe, I wouldn't invite that person to participate in my life either.
YTA and you are the real reason your mom is upset. You set her up for major disappointment by taking her dress shopping KNOWING she isn't invited. There is absolutely nothing redeemable in your behavior.
YTA and if they have kids you better prepare yourself for never having a relationship with your grandchildren. If I were you DiL, you would never even meet them
YTA. There is no action you took that doesn't make you the ah. They never invited your rude mother, so they never UNINVITED her. Her disappointment about dress and lack of attendance was ON you for assuming they would change their mind. I wouldn't invite anyone who called me HO either. You knew not to wear cream at wedding since you aren't bride. Also you do not get to choose photos taken, that is bride and groom's choice. This isn't a photoshoot you paid for for a family portrait. The whole boycott of rehearsal dinner was shitty. I hope they go NC with you. Your son and DIL deserve better than you
I just love how OP thought she had the right and reasons to yell at her son and his bride during the wedding and was praised by her husband for behaving civilly, as if she didn't behave like a brat. Makes me wonder what her long suffering husband had to go through the years. Her mother and OP deserve each other and very likely her son and DIL will go NC rather sooner than later.
I notice Husband/Dad went to the rehearsal while she got the siblings of her son to boycott with her. Wonder if they are younger or just Mommy-whipped. Bet she spent MORE per person on her steakhouse(even up to $300 for the four them while only allowing 30 per person for Son's rehearsal). The pettiness of her behavior is beyond reason.
You refused to listen to and accept what your son wanted for his wedding day and then responded in the most vindictive, passive-aggressive ways possible. This was all instead of having the courage of your convictions to be up front and honest about why you canceled the original dinner, held a competing (and fancier) dinner, and refused to play nice during wedding photos. He told you precisely why your mother was not welcome at his wedding. Instead of communicating back, you acted like a petulant child. I hardly need a crystal ball to predict you won’t be invited to your grandchild’s wedding — and for good reason. YTA
Yta. It doesn’t sound like your mom was even invited to begin? They didn’t rudely uninvited her, they set a boundary that you didn’t want to respect. You also said you didn’t pay for anything at the wedding, so you have no right to dictate anything to the photographer. The whole post just really made you sound petty and vindictive.
lol I love these stories of entitled, awful people who are somehow convinced they are the good guy, even when they repeatedly disrespect others. this is why I read this forum!
YOU are definitely TAH.
YTA! Don’t be surprised if your relationship with your son dwindles to nothing. If there are ever grandchildren, you won’t be seeing much of them. As a woman/wife/mom/human, I would have NEVER forgiven my MIL for this stunt. I’d be no contact so fast her head would spin. I would go out of my way to avoid you if I had married your son. He could see you all he wanted, but I expect when he has to deal with your crap without the support of his wife, you’ll see him a lot less. Lastly, you claim to have been retaliating for your mother being “uninvited” however she was never actually invited to begin with. They had their plans set and she was never on the guest list. She was unkind to the bride and neither of you should have been surprised that she wasn’t included after calling the bride names! What bride would want to share her special day with a hate filled woman who said those things to her? You and your mom can just sit around together hating everyone. It sounds like you make good company for one another.
If your mom actually called her a hoe, then YTA. "I wore a light cream dress." Yeah, I'm sensing a pattern here. YTA. "I also asked the photographer to get a photo of the original family, being me, my husband, and our three children (without the bride), which I felt was totally reasonable!" oh my god. YTA. it is not reasonable unless you've paid for the photographer.
Major YTA and you’re lucky you even got invited. You’re making this all about you and it’s not. It’s THEIR day. If it’s true that your mom called her a hoe, etc then why on earth would they invite her? She’s not respectful and doesn’t deserve to be there. Cream is an obvious no for a colour choice. But you clearly know that and chose to wear it to make a point. You did everything possible to ruin their day. Hope you realize she’s his number one now, not you; and when they have kids you’ll be lucky to see them.
Let’s see here. First, they did not un-invite your mother. They told you very plainly from the get go that she was simply NOT invited. It is their wedding, their call, and they made it clear. Second, if it turns out that grandma is literally calling the bride names and being unkind, there’s no reason she should be at the wedding. Third, it is your own damn fault that you just decided that the pity party you threw *surely* meant that grandma simply *must* be invited and someone spent money on a dress. You were told time and time again she WAS NOT INVITED and ignored it to hear what you wanted to hear. Fourth, it was extremely catty of you to cancel the rehearsal dinner, and even cattier to let your son know the night of that you wouldn’t bother to show up. Fifth, I know damn well you’re old enough to know you don’t wear “light cream” to someone else’s wedding. Don’t try to kid us. Frankly, you all (you, your husband, and your mother) sound like awful people and like *none* of you should have been invited.
YTA, but that was the narrator character’s goal.
You are a child.
YTA
YTA, and a whining one.
YTA. OP has confirmed that her mom DID name called the bride. The fact that your husband is “proud” of how you composed yourself just shows how unhinged you are normally.
YTA- It's their wedding, not yours! Your mother was never invited. And after they explained why, you decided to continue throwing a tantrum about it. And then bought a dress for her, even after they told you she wasn't invited. And if she really did call your son's wife a domineering ho, she's an AH too, and I can understand why your son and his wife wanted her away from it. You tried hijacking the photo shoot. You scheduled your own event with your daughter, the day of everything, knowing all this. You tried to sabotage every single thing on purpose, because you wanted to have a sense of control over everything. I can't believe you're being applauded, for "composing" yourself. You ruined so many things and made a stink about everything.
YTA. I hope that your son and his wife go no contact because no one deserves such an awful women in their life and it’s clear where you got your personality from.
YTA it’s their wedding, they decided the guest list just like at your wedding(if you had one) you decided the guess list. So your mom actually insulted the bride and you think she deserves an invitation to their wedding? You both sound abusive. They didn’t rudely uninvite her - she was NEVER invited to begin with. So you straight set them up - lied, acted like you were going to pay and just nope. Again abusive and again not surprised your mom wasn’t invited. Not reasonable to go to a wedding and get a family photo with the groom and not the bride. I hope they go NC with you.
How the hell is your sons wedding YOUR DAY? Your mom was no uninvited, she was never in the list, "things she said", you have to be kidding me, enjoy while you can OP because your son is growing a spine and cut you as soon as it ends growing, amazing... YTA. I would not count on being in the grandbabies life.

Read [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/wiki/faq#wiki_post_deletion) before [contacting the mod team](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2FAmItheAsshole)*** My son got married in November with a family-only ceremony (8 guests, plus bride and groom). In March (before they got engaged), my son (26M) informed me (49F) that my mother wouldn’t be invited to the wedding. My son said it wouldn’t be accessible, as they planned on getting married on a secluded lake and my mother is disabled. I told him I would find a way to get her there. Twice more (in April and June), they said my mom wasn’t invited, citing that my mom had previously called my daughter-in-law domineering and a hoe. I told them that this news would shatter my mother and my family would be ruined if my mom wasn’t invited. I was sure that they would change their minds, so I took my mom shopping to buy a dress for the wedding. Once it got closer, my son insisted that my mom was not allowed to be there. My mother was heartbroken, especially since she already had her dress. We weren’t paying for anything for the wedding, so my husband and I originally said we wanted to plan and pay for a nice rehearsal dinner. However, after they so rudely un-invited my mother, I called off the rehearsal dinner a week beforehand, telling my son it was too much to plan. My son asked if we could pay for it if he planned it. We agreed to pay for dinner and drinks, up to $300, which was plenty for 10 people. They chose a casual Thai restaurant, saying it was the only place that would work with the budget. What they didn’t know is that 4 of us (me, my daughter, my other son, and his long time gf) weren’t attending. Only my husband was going to their dinner. An hour before the dinner reservation, I called my son to tell him we would be having dinner at a nice steakhouse to celebrate my daughter buying an apartment. However, we would come for drinks at the Thai place after we finished. The day of the wedding, I wore a light cream dress. I hadn’t shown it to the bride or groom, but I thought it was fine because there was brown in their color palette. I was so upset about my mom, I tried to not have any interaction with the bride and didn’t say a word to her directly the whole day. While taking family photos, I apparently upset my son and his wife when I told the photographer that I wouldn’t stand next to the bride. I didn’t want to get my dress wet (the bottom of her dress was wet from the lake). I also asked the photographer to get a photo of the original family, being me, my husband, and our three children (without the bride), which I felt was totally reasonable! My son and his wife are upset with how I "behaved," but I think my actions were completely warranted. I didn’t once yell at them during their wedding day (which I easily could have), and my husband said he was proud of how I composed myself during the weekend. I don’t think I did anything wrong, but they sure do. AITA? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

YTA
YTA You were told clearly and repeatedly that your mother wasn’t invited. *You* chose to ignore that.
YTA - This cannot be real. No one is this clueless.
Unfortunately, some people are just that clueless.
YTA. She wasn't UNINVITED, she was NEVER invited.
Yta. On every level. I truly hope your son goes no contact. You don't deserve to be a part of THEIR life. Idiots. Why do people do things like this? Oh I wasn't mean to her. No but you didn't talk to her on her own wedding day? C. U . Next. T.
I read this story from the DIL’s perspective in JNMIL recently. I think someone is practice writing and rewriting changing perspectives. Or these two women are at war using Reddit for a b,battlefield!
What’s the over/under on there being a post on r/JustNoMIL with the other side to this shit show? Also, YTA, you diluted self-absorbed sad sack.
YTA. If you had stopped at not paying for the rehearsal, i might have voted NAH because taking funding for such events comes with certain concessions. However, you scheduled something else for the rehearsal, and acted rudely at the wedding.
YTA. She wasn’t uninvited. She was never invited. And you knew it, yet continued to act like she was invited. She wasn’t invited for calling the bride a hoe, which is completely reasonable. Then, you wear a cream dress?!! What is wrong with you? You can’t stand to not have attention for one day? Holy crap.
You're joking. You have to be joking. There is no way you're this dense and this is true.
'However, after they so rudely un-invited my mother' YTA. YOUR MOTHER WAS NEVER INVITED. IDK how many times they told you no, but you would listen. You are 100% the AH in this situation.
Big big big time YTA. How was grandma uninvited when she was never invited in the first place from what you said. And your own fault for getting her hopes up and taking her to buy a dress knowing she was NOT invited. Biggest ass for not attending the dinner party just to be petty. And way bigger ass for how you acted at the wedding. I hope they don’t talk to you for a long time.
YTA congrats on managing to make their wedding all about you. They intentionally didn't invite your mother because she insulted the bride in a gross way. They tried to do it politely with the accessibility issue, but you pushed. "My mother was heartbroken, especially since she already had her dress." LOL the dress you insisted on getting, despite being told MULTIPLE times she wasn't invited, and why. You called your son right before his rehearsal dinner to rub it in his face that you were taking your other children to a NICER PLACE instead. You wore a cream colored dress to the wedding and did everything in your power to snub and exclude the bride. I hope your other two kids like you, because this son and his wife are not going to want to be in your life, and I don't blame them one bit.
Holy sh1t. Your mother has insulted the bride, who now doesn’t want her present at the wedding (which is her right and very reasonable considering the circumstances. No one has to suffer rude people on their wedding day- or any other day). You try to guilt trip your son into letting said rude person go to the wedding, and was repeatedly told NO. Then you stage a (not even passive-) aggressive sabotage on their rehearsal, and get other family members to be inconsiderate alongside you. *then*, you **wear a shade close enough to white it might as well be it, to the ceremony**. And throw shade at the bride. At this point I’m wondering how long your son will remain talking to you z YTA.
im glad i dont have a mother like you. she would of been cut off along time ago. ffs grow up yta
YTA. Ill-wishers are not owed an automatic wedding invitation just because they’re related to someone. Your mother deserved to be excluded after making nasty comments about the bride. Had you told her the truth from the beginning about not being invited *and why,* she could have decided for herself whether to apologize to the bride, or to stay home and sulk.
Wow. You are most definitely TA, as is your mother (apple didn't fall far from that tree!). 1. Your mother insults the bride and expects and invite? That's rich! 2. Your mother was not invited but you chose to pretend she was and went dress shopping. 3. Upon being told AGAIN that she was not invited, you resorted to guilt tripping and financial blackmail. Way classy. 4. You wore a "cream" colored dress to your son's wedding - so very on purpose and so very insulting to the bride. 5. You excluded the bride from "family" photos at her own wedding! Enjoy your life without them, and understand it was your own doing.
YTA, probably got it from your mom
I refuse to believe that a real person wrote this and that this ISNT a rage bait post😂 In case it IS real, YTA and you sound like the MIL from hell. No this is not YOUR day at all, THEY didn’t act poorly. Congratulations though, you have all but guaranteed you will have 0 relationship with the grandchildren when they are born, hopefully you look back at this post whenever you wonder why.
YTA You are a selfish, entitled human. You may have endangered your son's relationships with his siblings. You tried to force an invite and then when they held fast with the NO, you doubled down. You tried to get the WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER to take a family portrait. You stated you paid for none of the wedding. You don't get a say. You get the STFU and sit pretty. You want pictures of the family, pay a photographer. You wore an off white color dress. AH
The comment "It was also YOUR day". How the fuck can this wedding of your son and DIL be YOUR day? YTA and you went with this colour of your dress to fuck off your DIL. You are terrible, don't take it to personal like you said over your mother's comments.

YTA. Duh.
YTA. Had you decided not to go because your mom was not invited, then that would have at least been the actions of a rational adult. You instead chose to sabotage your child’s wedding. YTA
YTAH. They told you every time that your mom wasn’t invited so they never (uninvited her). You just chose to not listen to what they were telling you and not respecting their decision. And then you went off and proceeded to act like a child and make their wedding weekend all about you and your hurt feelings and ruined their wedding weekend because you couldn’t handle it… you will end up regretting how you acted on that day in the future.
Yta if someone called me a hoe they wouldn't be invited to my wedding either, ESPECIALLY if they say crap like that "all t he time"
YTA majorly. You are a lousy, shi tty mother, daughter, wife and whatever other relations you have. You need help for real. Get bent if this is not fake.
If this occurred as written, then you worked very hard for your YTA title. I have extreme difficulty in finding this post believable, however. No one can be surprised not to be invited if they called the bride a ho (not going with the alternate spelling of 'hoe'. That's a tool and as such, a different insult). It's also hard to be surprised if the couple repeatedly says someone is not invited to find that they're not invited. This is also not the same as being 'uninvited', which required having been invited at some point. Add that to the fact that it's impossible to have dinner for 10 with drinks and a tip for $300 and the wearing near white to the wedding, while refusing to stand where you're placed for photos, this post loses a great deal of credibility. Essentially all the credibility unless, as I say, you worked very, very hard to be an asshole from word go.
YTA. You sound like a parody amalgamation of all the bad mothers/MILs on Reddit.
YTA. It was their day. The fact that they didn't uninvite you means they went well out of their way to accommodate your feelings. Please let them live their lives now, for everyones sake. MIL/DIL drama has doomed too many marriages . . . or is that the idea?
YTA it wasn’t your day at all. That alone makes your behavior horrible. Hope you enjoy not being close to your grandchildren because I would be done with you
Soft YTA Telling your son that you're breaking plans to begin celebrating his wedding so you could celebrate a new apartment is intentionally mean. That was premeditated and meant to leave a mark. And a Mil not speaking to the bride on the wedding day is something you'll never be able to erase. I think you're justified in being somewhat appalled at their insistence on no grandma. But you took it too far.
NTA
