AITA for uninviting 25 family members to my wedding 6 weeks to show time?
For two years, she dreamed of a Halloween wedding that was uniquely hers—a celebration woven with love and personal meaning.
But just weeks before the big day, her own family tried to unravel everything, branding her vision as som**hing dark and forcing her to choose between standing firm or surrendering to their fears.
Refusing to be silenced, she took control, cu***ng ties with those who couldn’t respect her choices. Invitations were rescinded, bridesmaids replaced, and boundaries set with unshakable resolve.
In the wake of betrayal and heartbreak, she reclaimed her day, determined to celebrate love on her own terms, no matter the cost.

The original poster (OP) is facing significant emotional distress due to their mother and grandmother suddenly objecting to their long-planned Halloween wedding theme, labeling it as 'satanic.' The central conflict arises from the OP's firm decision to proceed with their original plans, which resulted in them uninviting family members who supported the objection or engaged in perceived power struggles, leading to a major rift.
Is the OP justified in protecting their wedding vision and emotional well-being by rescinding invitations from family members who created last-minute conflict, or were their actions an overly punitive response to disagreements that should have been managed through continued negotiation and acceptance of differing family views?
