Today, I got engaged to the most wonderful man in the world. I excitedly called my mom to tell her the great news, thinking she'd be excited too. Her only response? "Oh." FML

Well hey that's alright. If she isn't excited then she doesn't have to be invited to the wedding. It doesn't matter what she thinks as long as you're happy! Congratulations OP and here's to your future with your future husband!

When she asks where her invitation for the wedding is just say, "Oh."

This reminds me of John Wick. Best "Oh" in movie history.

Were you two together for a long time before he proposed? I ask because it becomes apparent after long enough that an engagement is inevitable, making it only a matter of time

This happened to me too. My mom hates my fiancé but my dad likes him. The important thing is that you're both happy though, and that it's a healthy relationship.
