The 27-year-old woman explained that she is engaged to an ‘amazing guy’, but is having a major problem with her mother-in-law – who doesn’t think the bride’s dad should be able to attend the wedding due to his disability.
‘When I was a little girl, my dad was involved in a really bad accident and was burned over a large portion of his body,’ the bride said. ‘He lost part of one limb and has some serious disfigurement. He has been a great dad and I never think about it.
‘A few weeks ago, my fiancé started acting strange when we talked about the wedding. ‘Then his mom called me out of the blue and told me that she didn’t think my dad should come to the wedding.
‘She thinks that he will upset the guests and “traumatise” any children who might be there. She is suggesting that we have a private family ceremony before the big blowout.
‘I got upset and my mom asked why. When I told her, she said that she and my dad understand, which only makes me feel worse. ‘Maybe my future MIL [mother-in-law] had a point, but I would really rather disinvite her than my dad.’
This awful story was

commenting to say how awful the mother-in-law is to suggest that the
bride’s own dad shouldn’t attend her wedding.
