I'm getting married in May. My parents are upset with me because I am getting married where I live, rather than where I was born(and where they live still). This is not the main problem. The night before the wedding I am staying at my future in-laws house with my 2 adult bridesmaids. I have asked my parents to come and stay with us also, with my two younger sisters(aged 11 and 13), but because of something that happened 2 years ago, my parents are refusing to be anywhere near my in-laws. The incident in question was ds 1st bday, my MIL walked into our house and didn't say hello to my mum, because she didn't see her. My mum has taken it so personally, and to this day will not let it go. I have tried to explain to them that they need to come up the night before so as my sisters dresses can be adjusted if necessary, and they can have their hair done etc. They will not even do this one thing for me on my wedding day, and have the cheek to say I'm being selfish. I no longer want to invite them to the wedding, not only because of the way they are being towards me, but for fear of them saying something on the day. But the thought of leaving them out makes me feel so guilty. I haven't spoken to them for 2 months. Am I being selfish? Please help me get over how let down I feel.
