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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, a year after I moved out with no contact since, my former housemates texted me out of the blue to tell me I'm not invited to their wedding. Seems she thought I'd just turn up and "embarrass" myself. I never indicated that I intended or even wanted to go. FML
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
Today, I found out my daughter was planning a wedding and invited everyone but me. FML
Today, all three of my kids snuck out of a family reunion because they were bored. I was furious, until I found out my husband had also gone with them. After I was done yelling at all of them, I realised I was mostly jealous they didn’t take me with them. FML
Today, I received yet another letter from a relative bitching me out for not involving my parents in my wedding. The parents who showed no interest in our relationship and then yelled at my fiancé and me when we announced it to them, calling us stupid, naive, heathens, and mentally ill. FML
Today, I was uninvited to a bachelorette party. I wouldn't really care, if the party hadn't been for me, ahead of my wedding tomorrow. FML
Today, my son and his girlfriend cancelled their wedding and eloped because they were sick of my ex-wife being a Monster-in-law. The last straw was when she called the dress shop and tried to cancel the wedding dress because it “made her look like a slut.” Now I missed seeing my son get married. FML
Today, my dad, who lives hours away, called and told me he was getting married. Today. As in this evening. Guess I'm not invited. FML
Today, my crazily elitist parents were so desperate to get me to dump my fiancé that they threatened to divorce if I didn't. When I told them to go ahead, they bitched me out for being disrespectful. FML

They shouldn't be mad at you if you didn't invite them to an event that they didn't even want to go to. Congratulations!

Some people are like that. Make sure they know what they said. Sorry about that OP.

Well that's their fault then, and remind them of that. Why would you consider people who aren't even considerate enough of you to attend and support you on such a joyous occasion. They seem entitled, wanting to be thought of even though they put in no effort themselves, and complaining, even after they expressly said they weren't going to go.

Have a happy life and don't worry about them. They would have ruined your wedding day.

I know the feeling, except mine came to the very small wedding. Still 6 years later and they still can't acknowledge that we are married for the long term

My mom didn't acknowledge me at my wedding at all, except to yell at me to "cut the cake already" so she could go home. She didn't tell me I looked pretty. She didn't smile once. She was the first to leave. Maybe it's better that people like that didn't have a chance to make your wedding day less special! Congrats, OP.

I thought my mom was bad.. we had a small wedding in the back yard that my mother in law set up for us. While we were saying our vows she said it was the ugliest thing she'd seen and she kept making comments about every little thing. I thibk you're right. its best not to have people there that are just going to be jerks.

Is your name a Supernatural reference?

I was thinking more along the lines of Zoolander

The Blue Steel ref in SPN was a reference to Zoolander, haha. You're both right.

they are probably just mad because they felt you were being inconsiderate by eloping and not inviting them to a wedding. Sorry OP. Just ignore their comments and congratulations!
