    Font - AITA for not going to my parents wedding before they get divorced again? Not the A-hole My friends told me to make a Reddit account just for this because this is so weird and no one knows if I'm in the right. So my(26f) parents (b50) got married when I was five and I was the flower girl. Around when I was ten they got divorced which no one saw coming because they NEVER fought. I feel like I have to mention my parents are both very wealthy and kept finances separate and so it was an easy d

    Font - When I was about 17ish they decided to get back together. Me being 17, was overjoyed and was a bridesmaid at their second wedding. I really hope you see where this is going but they ended up separating again. They didn't tell anyone and didn't get a divorce but we all knew they were separated and 3 years later they wanted to "renew their vows" in which I was asked to buy a nice dress for the occasion. Surprise! They got divorced! Again! And only after 3 months after their renewal. After t

    Font - So a few days ago I got an invite in the mail to my parents 3/4th wedding after 6 years and so I called my mom about it. She was super excited and told me I was old enough to be her MOH and that she wants me to buy a 1500 dress. That's a solid No from me. I told her I'd be her MOH but I'm either going to wear the original bridesmaid dress (which is a cream color) or the other nice one I got (which is brown) because I'm not buying a 1500 dollar dress. She freaked out and told me that those

    Font - My mom called me a spoiled brat and that I'm wasting my privilege (I have no words) and that I'm telling her I won't be apart of my own parents wedding. I told her that I was going to be willing to show up to the wedding and not be the MOH, but at this point I'm not showing up at all and told her to call me when they get their next divorce. I hung up and got a slew of nasty emails from my family throughout the day and my friends are divided on if I made the right call with the premise tha

    Font - A lot of people suggested just making my mom pay for the dress, but I was debating the suggestion of just being a guest (though a lot of you agreed with me to just not show up) I ended up calling my mom and was going to make a decision with however it went. She started off the conversation that she didn't need me to be apart of the wedding party because her and my dad were "having trouble having the best people" (aka no one will do it again lol) so they were going to scratch that part of

    Font - Now my fiancé and I go over to their house for dinner once a month so we went over there Saturday. As I mentioned before in a comment or two, my fiancé grew up financially insecure and so I struggle with convincing him to do something nice for himself once in a while. I did however just convince him to spend part of our savings to do a really nice honeymoon in Greece since we are doing a small wedding. It took some pulling of teeth but he now won't stop getting travel books and researchin

    Font - It was a fairly pleasant dinner until my own wedding planning came up. I told them that we were pretty much set with the wedding, but we were having out details on Greece. My mom got visibly upset and excused herself and my dad followed. I was pretty confused but they came back and my dad calmly explained that my mom feels very hurt that I'd be willing to spend thousands of dollars on my honeymoon but wouldn't shell out money for their wedding.

    Font - I was pretty dumbfounded and said "Well we are willing to have an expense on the honeymoon because we are only getting married once " So yeah I got kicked out of the house and uninvited from the wedding not super torn up about it, and this is now my fiancés favorite story to tell Happy holidays ya'll!

    Font - rainyreminder 4 hr. ago Pooperintendant [50] Sounds like the best outcome honestly, and I am still laughing about your mother being shocked that no one wants to give her the full treatment for her fifth or whatever wedding. I have an aunt who's been married something like 8 times, and the last two she just did a quick standup wedding in a garden type thing, because it turns out that no one wants to shell out money or buy presents for your fifth wedding to yet another loser.

    Font - LadyCass79 4 hr. ago I am glad you have a good sense of humor about this really unhealthy situation! Sometimes, that's the very best tactic in life. It's the Mr. Bennett philosophy from "Pride and Prejudice" If you're unlucky enough to be surrounded by absurd people, at least enjoy the show.
