A woman has questioned whether she was wrong to uninvite her stepfather from her upcoming wedding – which he paid for – after her brothers said they would not attend if he was there.
SNIP
The bride-to-be, 25, said her mother is upset that she chose to uninvite her stepfather from her wedding after receiving an ultimatum from her older brothers.
She explained that the siblings went through a “rough time” at the time of their parent’s divorce and that her mother had since remarried. While the OP (original poster) has a “somewhat stable relationship” with her stepfather due to living with him for longer, her brothers resented him and “limited contact once they moved out [of the family home]”.

Did the mother yell at the brothers?
This is very worrisome.
Haven’t they ever heard of dear Abby? 🤪
The brothers sound very selfish...It’s their sister’s day...Let her enjoy....
Would it be different if the mother left the father for this man?
If he pays, he goes. If they don’t like it, they don’t go. Simple.
If it’s an “upcoming wedding” as the article states, perhaps stepdad can cancel whatever he was going to pay for. The bride’s brothers can pick up the tab.
“If he pays, he goes. If they don’t like it, they don’t go. Simple.”
Apparently the bride didn’t decide that.
If he was dis invited, he should have dis paid.
Exactly.
My answer would be, “Young lady, you need to change that or I will be having a party for my friends at that venue I paid for, with food from the caterer I paid for, and the DJ will have to modify his playlist by a generation.”
The photographer will jut be cancelled. We will take the cake, though. I like cake.
My wife’s parents are divorced, and they have still managed to maintain that hatred for the 50 years since the divorce. When our oldest got married, we invited both of them. When her mom found out her dad was coming, she gave us the “him or me” ultimatum. Sorry you feel that way, but the invitations are what they are. We will post some photos online for you if you can’t ignore each other and/or be civil for a couple of hours.
We set the invitation list. The guests come or they don’t. (I’d be lying if I said we were heartbroken she couldn’t make it.)
Would it change it for you, if one of the step parents were responsible for the demise of the parents marriage/adultery.
No
My stupid and incredibly selfish niece disinvited her grandmother from her wedding this past Saturday.
My mother is 81 and in some early stages of memory loss.
Selfish niece got mad because my mom forgot the grooms name.
Of course the stupid selfish girl never bothered to bring the guy over to meet her.
We weren’t invited either but we’ve lived out of state for 12 years and don’t really know her well.
I told my mom that my niece is going to have lots of guilt over her stupid selfishness.
Not in my opinion...Again, this is the sister’s day...
“If it’s an “upcoming wedding” as the article states, perhaps stepdad can cancel whatever he was going to pay for.

Sounds like a good plan!
It kind of makes a mockery of your wedding when it’s sponsored and attended by someone who disrespects the institution like that. I wouldn’t expect the marriage to last long.
Whiny ass, spoiled brothers couldn’t deal with their mother re-marrying, so they want to spoil their sister’s wedding day, and make it all about themselves. The girl made the wrong decision. She is weak.
That’s ridiculous. If I were the groom, I can’t imagine being offended if the grandmother forgot my name.
The real blame goes to my brother and his wife. They taught their children to literally hate everyone on my side of the family and to revere everyone on his wife’s side.
I obviously don’t know the groom but he made a horrible decision joining that family of haters.
We wonder if anyone asked why no one from our side of the family was there.
