I am getting married next June and the family is chomping at the bit about the invitation list. Will be a 120-ish person wedding, so there is significant planning to do. That being said, there is one woman (Emily, we'll call her), who has been a family friend since my parents were in college. I used to summer at her house, her son summered at my place, every year different holidays were spent at eachother's houses....you get the idea. Well, Emily met a man who none of us like bc she constantly tells us he is a douche (not the story here). I guess more recently he proposed and she accepted, and put it on Facebook instead of personally calling my mother. My mother is livid, and a fight has ensued.
So now, with the wedding planning, I want Emily there, she has been like a mother to me, but I know my mom is not happy with her. They have resolved the fight to a point where they rarely talk and they just don't talk about that subject. So can I still invite Emily? She and I are not fighting, and I certainly want her their for my day (she also lost her only son a few years ago, so she has said before that I am literally like a daughter to her now). At the same time, I don't want to upset my mother.....I desperately need help!
