Man says fiancée 'hates' his family after they ruin plans for child-free wedding

A man took to Mumsnet to see how he could resolve a wedding dispute with his family and fiancée. He sought advice after his soon-to-be wife claimed that his mother ruined their "dream" child-free wedding, but commenters told him to leave her instead.

On a Mumsnet thread, he wrote: "I'm getting married in five months and my fiancée hates my family, it’s ruining everything. We had a dream wedding planned since we were young in Portugal. When we expressed - to my family - the plans and that our wedding is going to be 'child-free', all hell broke loose. My mother said she was not coming, and my other family members said I was silly and stupid and should rethink as my brother and two sisters have really young kids, all under three."

The soon-to-be husband explained that he offered to pay for people to look after the children for the day, but it "fell on deaf ears" - and now they have decided to marry abroad alone and have a UK party for the family. However, he shared that his fiancée is angry and feels that his mum ruined their dream wedding.
