I think you should bite your tongue and invite her. You may regret it later, if you ever develop a relationship with her. It's just the nice thing to do.
Reply:I have been married twice. I didn't invite my parents either


time, and thank god I didn't. I didn't get along with them.


When a woman gets married, you think of how things should


be, but no ones life is perfect. I didn't have my dad to walk


me down the isle either time, and you know it bothered me


but I was so glad they were not there to ruin my day with


my husband. Forget tradition. Do what you want. Don't make your wedding day anything but what you want it to be,


cause it's a day you will remember for the rest of your life.
Reply:invite your mother,
Reply:you should consider inviting her, its the nice thing to do since she raised you. Also, don't worry because there will be soo many other ppl there and a busy day so you will hardly even speak to her.
Reply:Depends on why you don't like her. Now if you are just being hateful and stupid about it. Then this question is dumb...
Reply:I got into sooo many fights with my mom during my planning for the wedding...I didn't feel like I wanted her there either. But after all she is your mother..of course you have to have her at your wedding!...No matter how annoying she is..lol
Reply:I think that you should bite you tongue and invite your mother to your wedding. That would be the right thing to do. Even though you don't like your mother, she is still your mom and she has every right to be at her daughters wedding.
Reply:you should invite her
Reply:Actually, my husband and I got married alone. He and I had lost our dads already and his mother was in hospice care and was not well enough to attend our wedding. We only had one or two days to prepare for the wedding because he was getting deployed immediately to another state and we whimsically decided to wed b/c the long distance relationship idea was too scary. But these are perhaps different circumstances than you are speaking of. Basically it's your wedding and you can do whatever you want but people's feelings are going to get hurt and some mothers don't ever forgive things like that. My mom understood and was supportive of the two of us eloping. Good luck.
Reply:I think you should be the better and just invite her even though you can't stand her. It will be your day so you most likely won't even notice her there, enjoy the day with your hubby =]
Reply:My mother-God rest her soul-was a trying, difficult being. She felt no love for me, however, when I became successful, she admired me. She was testy and if she saw the chance to publicly humiliate me, she did so. Never the less, she was at both my weddings. To have done otherwise would have erased the few good times we had together, aired our dirty laundry publicly and placed family members in an awkward position. I didn't, as an adult, have to live with her, but I had to live with myself and to have embarrassed her by not having her there would have made me the same type of person as she.
