A bride kicked her own mother out of her wedding after she showed up uninvited.

However, it seems her mother was determined to come. One hour before the bride’s wedding ceremony was set to begin last week, the maid of honor told the bride that her mother had shown up to the event. “Meaning she flew across the country to knowingly crash my wedding,” the bride wrote.

She said she had her maid of honor bring her mother to the bridal suite, where she spoke to her privately and “told her that if she doesn’t leave, I will make a scene and embarrass her in front of her entire family.”

“She cried and gaslit me but inevitably left,” the bride added.

“Boundaries matter. It’s crucial to protect your peace, especially on such a special day. It’s clearly manipulative behavior from her to show up uninvited,” they wrote. “Stick to your decision!”

“You drew a hard line boundary and she crossed it,” added another person. “If your family continues to bring it up, ask them to pay the $60k that she stole from you.”

Someone else pointed out that even if the bride’s mother had good intentions, she chose the wrong time and occasion to attempt a happy reunion with her estranged daughter.

“It was your wedding and you can choose who to invite and who not to. Anyone with any sense of manners does not show up to an event uninvited,” they commented. “In addition,ifshe had wanted to reconcile, a public event like a wedding is thewrongplace to do it. The fact that it was a public place meant that she probably wanted a spectacle and not anything substantive.”

Yet another person praised the bride for handling the difficult situation “so calmly and rationally” on her big day. “That alone makes you NTA [not the a——],” they wrote, encouraging the bride to brush off the unfortunate incident with her mother. “Be calm, carry on and have a great life.”
