AITA for Removing My Dad from the Wedding Guest List After He Pulled His Financial Support? My fiancé and I are in the middle of planning our wedding, but things got complicated with my mom. We found out that she had been making jokes behind our backs about my fiancée’s appearance and saying that she’d never be more than a stay-at-home mom.
I was really upset and decided to uninvite her to the wedding. Some people told me I was overreacting because it was just a one-time thing, and my mom didn’t expect us to find out. Plus, she was tipsy, maybe even a bit drunk.
When my dad found out my mom wasn’t invited (they’re not married), he confronted me. He admitted that what she said wasn’t nice, but he also said that people gossip and say things they don’t mean all the time. He thought I should let her apologize and move on. I explained that I couldn’t let someone who felt that way come to our wedding, and he said I was being ridiculous. Then, he told me he wouldn’t pay for the wedding if I was going to treat my mom like that.
Because of this, I decided to uninvite him too, since I didn’t feel like he was being supportive. My fiancée, who was there during the conversation, is really hurt by all of this and doesn’t want him at the wedding either, so I felt I had to support her.
Now, my dad and his wife are telling everyone that we’re acting entitled to their money and being arrogant for uninviting anyone who disagrees with us. Even though I know he doesn’t have to pay for our wedding, I can’t help but feel conflicted about how everything has turned out

Let’s swiftly assess a handful of the top comments: AITA for Removing My Dad from the Wedding Guest List After He Pulled His Financial Support?
Honestly this is the best comment. Too many people on Reddit are WRONG. And give horrible advice that is for “online” and not real life situations. There is a pattern here. So OP is essentially going to cut off his entire family, for his fiancé and then be isolated to only her family? If this was a women writing this, people would jump to say “your being abused” “red flags”
OP is in Lala land.
Wow does no one actually talk to each other like adults in your family? Dropping people over single comments is extreme to say the least. Uninviting from a wedding is a relationship destroying event and feels a bit dramatic if it really is just about a single statement
At first my judgment was N T A but then I read your comments.
Your fiancée talks about her future MIL behind her back, too. Saying that she doesn’t do it in a way that will get back to your mother isn’t relevant, gossip is shitty regardless. And it’s not true, since it seems like it DID get back to your mom.
You do you, I guess, but your dad was right – people shit-talk and gossip, including your fiancée. YTA.

It was about the money. Else there was no reason to uninvite your dad. He didn’t talk bad about your fiancée. He just wanted you to give your mom a chance to apologize before you regret it one day
ESH. your mom sucks for the unnecessary and mean spirited comment. your dad sucks for overreacting and pulling the money. you suck for overreacting and being trigger happy on pulling the uninvited card. so much unnecessary drama, i hope you have other ways of coping with and handling other areas of your life that don’t go the way you want
