Un-invited Future In-Laws to our Wedding, are we being unreasonable?

So, my Fiance and I have been together for 5 years, and throughout those 5 years, I have had a particularly tumultuous relationship with both his Mother and Father. They have been emotionally, mentally and on some occasions physically abusive towards not only me, but my Fiance, their Son.

Only recently, at their own Sons 21st birthday (Fiance's Brother), did they have an argument between themselves and Fiance's Grandparents, making a scene in a lovely restaurant and walked out. His Mother also shouted in both myself and my FBIL's Girlfriend's face and told me to "F*k off" at the top of her lungs in the Restaurant reception, when I had told her that she had upset us both.

They have now managed to in their deluded heads, spin the blame onto both myself and my Fiance, even though we had nothing to do with the argument in the first place! They have sent abusive texts to my Fiance and also a lovely paragraph dedicated to me on their hatred for me.

Originally, they were invited to our Wedding, but now we have decided that we don't want them there, and have un-invited them as if they are capable of ruining their own Sons 21st birthday and reducing him to tears, what else are they capable of?! You only have your special day once and I don't want to give them the opportunity to ruin it! Do you think we are being unreasonable in our decision?

@JamieLeeCurtains Very true to be fair. I think with time it will get easy to feel emotionally detached from them, and not care as much.

YANBU you got me at the end of the first paragraph. I wouldn’t invite them, they sound vile. I would also go NC or LC if l was you

Congratulations and enjoy your day

@Leaannb the OP has already explained that her DBIL currently lives with the parents and is doing so into he can afford to move. So he will be in contact with them quite a lot anyway I imagine Confused

Zombie thread, the op is probably married now!

Delusionalyetagain · 27/08/2021 23:30

To be honest sounds like they don’t really want to go to the wedding they obviously do not like you so don’t think they would really be that bothered

Are you the MIL?

Definately de-invite them. I would consider changing venue / hiring security at front. The ceremony is public so I think you cannot ask them to leave but they can be given message by minister/celebrant.
Definitely talk to celebrant and warn them.
I would do what you can to support fiancees brother - don’t make him the go between between you as a couple and fiancé’s parents.
Have a lovely special day.

@Delusionalyetagain

Only one side being heard here from what I’m seeing. I thought this site is for mums wanting advice?? not disgruntled girlfriends who have probably fuelled a lot of this drama with their attitude towards this poor family who can probably see their son is making a big mistake, this site really is not for this kind of pathetic drama. Get a life.

@Delusionalyetagain

Always two sides to every story as they say! But sad having to ask strangers on here for their opinion in my book, if they were that bad my mind would be made up . I wouldn’t keep going back but she obviously did? So obviously they were not that bad or maybe for some other gain she kept going back? probably financial gain … who knows ..
Are you the MIL? This thread is a year old.

@PickAChew my first thought reading that nonsense was that MIL has gained access to the OP's mobile or whatever device she uses for MN and is going through her posts. There is no reason to go searching for old threads and replying as if they have to have a go at the OP with a random completely different take on the matter which they (unless actually involved) would know nothing at all about.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are new replies all over OP's different posts under her different usernames.
