Feeling depressed (long)

My mother's ridiculousness just keeps getting better.

After the fit she threw about wanting to walk behind FI and I, she decided her new fixation is crying (read: all-out bawling) to everyone who will listen about the "horrible selfishness and disrespect" I am displaying by not walking with my father.

She has called everyone in our family. Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Grandparents, as well as FI's parents. She is a compulsive liar, and has them all convinced that I am doing this for the sole purpose of hurting them. In reality, I just have always like the symbolism between FI and I making that journey down the aisle together.

The really depressing part is this: I now have 30 people (out of 97) telling me they are no longer attending our wedding because they will not support this "blatant slap in the face" to my father. I can't even blame them, because I know my mom just lied to them to the point where they truly believe that is true.

Should I just suck it up and walk with my dad? This is too much to handle and I just need to stop crying and find a solution.
