AITA For not wanting to go to my sister's wedding?
She stood frozen, clutching the wedding invitation that excluded her husband, the man she had loved and supported for eight years. Her sister's request to keep him out of family photos, simply because he was different, cut deeper than any words could.
It was a cruel reminder that love and acceptance are not always given freely, even from those closest to us. Betrayed and furious, she confronted the selfishness that overshadowed what should have been a joyous celebration.
In that moment, she chose dignity over silence, refusing to let prejudice dim the light of their love. The invitation may have been limited, but her resolve was boundless.

The original poster (OP) is facing a significant conflict between defending her husband against perceived discrimination and maintaining familial peace, especially regarding the wedding attendance.
Her core emotional position is anger and a strong sense of protectiveness, rooted in the belief that excluding her husband from photos due to his disability is deeply unfair and unacceptable.
Given the strong opposing views—the OP feeling obligated to fight for inclusion versus her husband and family urging attendance and apology—the central question remains: Is it justifiable to boycott a major family event, like a sister's wedding, based on a demand to exclude a spouse from official photos due to disability, or does the obligation to support family outweigh the need to protest this specific exclusionary action?
