For many people getting married, having your parents or guardians on hand to help you make some of the important wedding planning decisions is incredibly important, as you want the people who raised you to help guide you through the process.
But one bride has been left heartbroken after she asked her stepmum to come and stay with her for a week to help with wedding planning as well as "bond" with her and her two-year-old child - as her stepmum told her she would rather stay at home with her pet parrot.
The woman explained she adopted a rescue macaw three years ago, and since then hasn't taken any trips away or stayed overnight away from the bird, as it would "be too disruptive" for it.
