Bride Uninvites 25 Family Members from Halloween Wedding After Mother and Grandmother Deem It 'Satanic'
The bride, who shared her story on Reddit, wrote that several family members backed out six weeks before the ceremony
A soon-to-be bride uninvited 25 people from her Halloween wedding after her mother and grandmother called it "satanic." They seemingly convinced other family members to do the same and asked her to make "last-minute changes" — just six weeks before the ceremony.
The Reddit user shared her story to the site's popular "Am I the A------ (AITA)" forum on Wednesday, Sept. 18, when she detailed her family's qualms with her wedding that had been in the works for two years. Now, she's asking the forum if she was in the wrong for prohibiting those family members from attending her big day.
"I have had this Halloween wedding planned for two years. The venue I wanted has a wait list. All the sudden my mom and grandma decided the wedding was satanic and want me to make last minute changes," the bride wrote. "I told my mom and grandma a firm no. [For] two years my family has known about this and because I have told them, [now] half my mom’s side thought they would be cute and say they aren’t coming in a random ass power struggle."

The Reddit user has since "canceled" the wedding invitations of "everyone" who "complained or backed my mom or grandma on this," she wrote. The process included replacing one of her sisters as a bridesmaid after she "acted like she stepped out of bridesmaid duty."
"It was about 25 people that decided to act stupid at less than 6 week mark so I sent out uninvited invitation and I sent out new QR codes for those attending," the bride wrote, adding that the "venue will check in by only those to let people in."
"My aunt (who was one of the uninvited) told me people are allowed to disagree with me and that doesn’t mean can pull an invitation from a wedding that they have made plans to attend," she added. "I told my aunt they had two years for complaints but saying you are not going at 6 weeks before my wedding is bullshit and everyone f----- around and found out. I will not be bullied by my family over this."

After sharing her grievances with her relatives, the bride, who plans to get married in a "light blue corpse bride dress," was met with support from other Reddit users underneath her post — most of whom agreed that she wasn't the "a------" in the situation.
"This is the kind of assertiveness I want to see more of when people are dealing with unreasonable family members," one commenter wrote, while another added that the mother and grandmother "decided to intentionally blow up your wedding."
"Then they rallied their little army to put pressure on you," the user added. "I would wager a bet this isn't the first time you've had a run-in with them over them trying to control your life."

Another user wrote that while the family is "allowed to disagree with" the bride, they can do so "from the comfort of their own homes."
"Telling someone their wedding 1) is satanic and 2) needs to change is not 'disagreement.' It is a request that you alter your wedding to suit them, and you are perfectly within your rights to decline to spend your day with people judging you that hard," they added. "Have a great time with the guests who aren't jerks."
