Family pressures bride to invite her parents to the wedding despite not being in contact with them for years, she uninvites the entire family as a response, leading to a dispute: 'It was too much'

The best and most beautiful weddings are where the only people invited are those who wholeheartedly want to be there for the happy couple. It's so easy to let the wedding planning get to your head and overwhelm you into making decisions you will later regret, so it's important to hold on to the answer to the question–why are you planning this wedding in the first place?

The sole purpose of a wedding should be to fulfil what the couple wants it to be, and the first thing to consider is who is invited. If a person does not make you happy, no matter who they are to you, they shouldn't be there on the happiest day of your life, even if that means excluding family members or childhood friends. If their presence is making you uneasy, it should not even be a question.

The problem is, planning this perfect wedding where the only people there are those who are making you 100% happy and nothing else, is a lot easier said than done, and the bride in the story below can attest to that.

This story was actually written from the bride's cousin's perspective, who was hurt after the bride decided to uninvite the entire family from her wedding. The cousin, who was always super supportive of the bride, didn't think it was fair that they were also excluded from the wedding, while the bride insisted it was her only choice.
