Bride heartbroken as mother-in-law asks her to disinvite disabled dad to wedding

A woman has taken to an advice forum to vent about a recent family occurrence in regards to her wedding.

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 posted to a wedding shaming group on Facebook, where people have been commenting to say how awful the mother-in-law is to suggest that the bride’s own dad shouldn’t attend her wedding.

One person said: ‘That is the most f***ed up thing I’ve ever read, I would throw the man and his whole family away’. Another wrote ‘run because she’s a monster’.

Another user suggested the fiancé should’ve spoken up.

The user said: ‘The fact that your fiancé didn’t immediately tell his mum where to go lest her be uninvited would tell me I was marrying into the wrong family tbh’. [sic]

One woman shared her own story in regards to her dad, who sadly passed.

She wrote: ‘I lost my father 12 years ago.

‘I still dread my wedding day because he won’t be there to walk me down.

‘F*** your MIL and have your father walk you down. I would give ANYTHING to have him there.

‘Hell, I’d have your dad walk me down if I knew who you are.’
