A bride-to-be has demanded her fiancé disinvites his parents from their wedding after a family dinner party went very, very well.
The 27-year-old man got down on one knee after three years together and the loved-up couple couldn't wait to start planning their big day.
Seeking advice on Reddit, the man explains his partner, 25, has been dreaming of her wedding since she was a little girl so knows exactly what she wants. However this has caused tensions between them, as she's not willing to consider any of his ideas.
The man claims his fiancée also seems to "despise" his brother, saying she finds him "really annoying". Upset and angry about he behaviour, he's found himself venting to his parents about her attitude.
However their knowledge of tensions behind the scenes resulted in a huge row at a family dinner, which has left the groom questioning whether he wants to get married at all.
Posting on Reddit's AIBA forum, the anonymous man writes: "My (27M) fiancee "Lily" (25F) and I have been together for 3 years, and are currently planning our wedding. Lily grew up fantasizing about her future wedding, so naturally she's very excited for it.
"However, there are a few concerns I have with her attitude about the wedding. She's become so obsessed with the planning that she gets visibly annoyed whenever I give my input on anything.
"It makes me really upset because this is my wedding too and I want to help plan as well.
"Not only that, but she refuses to acknowledge the choices I DO make. I have no idea why, but Lily seems to absolutely despise my brother. When I asked her why she said he was just "really annoying".
"She absolutely freaked when I told her he was a groomsman. She told me I had to make him a normal guest because she would be uncomfortable with him there. She said I had to choose another person to take his place because she deserves to be happy on her wedding day as well.
"This resulted in a huge fight between us, and I ended up venting to my parents about my frustrations because Lily won't listen to me about them.
"Yesterday me and Lily went to dinner with them and the topic of the wedding came up. Well, to make a long story short, they all ended up yelling at each other over everything that's happened, and my mom ended up calling Lily a controlling b*tch.
"Now Lily is demanding I uninvite my parents as well, but I don't want to. Now Lily's mad at me, my parents are telling me to reconsider the relationship, and my brother thinks Lily's lost her marbles.
"AITA for not wanting to uninvite my parents or brother?"
He later posted a follow up message, saying he had been thinking more about it and believed there was perhaps a deeper issue.
He writes: "Hey everybody, I've been thinking over the things you've said for the past few hours, and I've come to realize this situation isn't just some drama between my fiancee and family.
"I'm going to talk to Lily about postponing the wedding, and if she freaks out again, I might consider cancelling it altogether. This isn't the person I fell in love with three years ago, and I realize that now. Thank you all so much for confirming my concerns about this."
Other people on Reddit were quick to jump in to offer their opinions and advice, with the overwhelming response being that she is being unfair.
One writes: "Something is seriously wrong here. Your bride-to-be sounds out of control on this and there is no way she should have forced you to change who was standing up for you. And this is YOUR day too. "
Another added: "Sorry but her behaviour is a major red flag. You have a chance now to dodge the bullet so please do it. She’s way too controlling and refuses to allow any input given by you. First your brother and now your parents? Time to draw the line."
One simply replied: "You need to uninvite Lily."
