Today, my wedding is scheduled for next week. Today is also the day my whole family had an epic falling out, resulting in my mother disowning my brother. Apart from having them taking turns sobbing at me through the phone, they're also not coming to the wedding. I paid the hotel rooms in advance. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I overheard my mom talking on the phone with my sister about how much they hate my fiancé. My wedding is in two weeks and my family has been pretending to like my future husband for three years. FML
Today, my family got mad at me for eloping and not inviting them to my wedding. Even though they admitted they wouldn't have gone anyway. FML
Today, I got a call from my parents that they have decided to get a divorce. My brothers and I just shelled out $5,000 each and spent months planning their 50th Anniversary party that was supposed to be next month. FML
Today, my mom and my step dad decided they're getting a divorce. They've been married for 2 weeks and I paid for a quarter of the wedding. FML
Today, my younger brother called me saying he's getting married. Now, I have to attend my ex's wedding. I'm the best man. FML
Today, six weeks before my wedding, my mother decided to claim that she never agreed on paying for it and that she doesn't think she will. Now I have six weeks to scavenge enough cash for the wedding she planned in the first place. FML
Today, I’m stuck in a situation. It’s my mom's wedding, but her fiancé had a heart attack and died this morning. Now I’m surrounded by crying people, having to pretend to be upset so no one gets mad at me. I couldn’t care less to be honest, the man was an arsehole who treated mom and me like shit in private. FML
Today, my mom told me that I will never see my siblings again because I refused to attend her wedding to another woman. FML
Today, my whole family turned on me because I absolutely refused to attend my son's wedding, even though he really wanted me to walk him down the aisle. He married the woman he cheated on his ex-wife with, and abandoned their kids. That's why I refused to attend. FML
Today, I found out that my fiancé's parents are refusing to pay for a honeymoon, because they "didn't have one, so neither will we", meaning they won't pay for a single thing for our wedding. FML

I'm so sorry that this happened. It's your day and you should try to enjoy it with or without them. If they can find it in themselves to handle the situation like mature adults, hopefully they'll both still come to support you.

I know it can be hard not give it attention but if they prefer doing that than being at your wedding, it's not your fault, just continue with your plans because at the end is your special day.

I am sorry OP. They are very selfish. They could have come and behave because of you but I guess your family members are assholes.

I'm sorry OP. Your family shouldn't be so petty. Your wedding should be enough reason to at least tolerate each other for one friken day.

This is where you need to tell them that the ones who truly love and care for you will put their differences aside for a day to celebrate you and your soon to be husband. If they can't do that then it shows who cares for you. You shouldn't even be taking your time to listen to them cry about it when you have enough going on, if they can't care for you, show them tough love back.

My close friend is in a similar situation, I'm very disappointed for her that her relatives can't find the ability to be civil for a few hours on her behalf. I'm disappointed for you too! I hope they've offered to cover your costs, it's the least they can do. I hope you have a lovely time at your wedding regardless.

Wow, I'm sorry, OP. The next time one of them calls up sobbing, you need to make it clear that unless they manage to put their differences aside, come to your wedding, and behave in a civilized fashion, you don't want to hear their bullshit. Oh, and since you paid for the room in advance, you need however much it is for their room if they aren't coming.
