I come from the typical Mormon family. My mom has had a really hard time dealing with the fact that her baby girl is a lesbian, so she just choses to ignore it instead. I am getting married in September and haven't even told my Mom about it yet. As of right now, she likes my FI, but partly because no one has made it a point to tell her that we are a couple. DENIAL. We aren't lovey-dovey around her, because that would be awkward for us and uncomfortable for her
So, with that said, what do I do about inviting her to the ceremony? I don't want to NOT invite her, because that is sad and I would like her to be there. But at the same time I don't want to invite her, risk her hating my FI, and get a million lectures about the same ol' religious stuff.
Would it be appropriate to invite her to just the reception, but invite other family members to the ceremony? I'm just not sure how to go about this and keep everything peaceful, I want my wedding to be a happy exciting time, where I can be affectionate with my FI. Not one where I see my mom crying in the corner of the room.
