You know whats worse than inviting yourself to someone's wedding?

How about inviting someone else to someone's wedding...esp someone that nobody likes!!! Come on!  Someone please tell me why my mother wants to invite her ex-husband to MY day!? I have never even been friends with this man he is pure evil and made my life hell since I was 15! He hates my guts and I'm not to fond of his... Is she for real??? Jesus be a fence..

Usually working out til I'm near death is my stress reliever, but its gonna have to be a margarita(skinny girl of course) tonight cuz I can't deal!  I don't have time for all this froggleknocking bull malarchy...

Thanks for listening!

    Lol! You both are right! And I totally did tell her that.  She said that she thinks he would be mad at her.... um excuse me... are we really considering this man's feelings over mine about me and my FI's day??? I'm stilled stunned and I'm so sad about it.  I been wanting to burst into tears all day but I just don't have time... I have diapers to change, 5yr olds to read with, and a FI to game with... ugh!

    Just say no. I have learned in my planning process that N and O are my two favorite letters, and I cannot worry about someones feelings, especially when we are the ones footing the bill!

    And this is her "ex" husband? She really should be more concerned with how you feel about the situation & not how he would feel towards her. Hopefully she'll understand its your wedding day & no means no.

    IKR...that's a trip...

    I'm really sorry you're going through this with your mother.  If I were you I wouldn't compromise on this. Stick to your guns and don't invite him.  You and your FI control the guest list, not your mom. 

    If you and her EX-husband had such a difficult relationship, I don't see why he'd be mad about you not inviting him.  And even if he were, he can just stay mad and kick rocks.  Besides, why does your mom even care if her ex is mad...regardless of who he'd be mad at?

    All you ladies are so right! I'm not gonna bend on this one, I have to stand firm.  My fav aunt can't stand him either, and she loves everybody!  I called and she said "I thought I made myself clear when I said he wasnt invited to any family functions... correct me if I'm wrong but this is a family function!" I fell out!  I haven't talked to my mom since the convo... she must really be mad but danngit so am I!
