Seating plan family dynamics

So I'm about to get married. I haven't spoken to my Mother in almost 2 years. She moved away with her 2nd husband and allowed her son (my 1/2 brother) to become homeless whilst he stayed here. When I found out I took him in and got him a job and saved up his money so he could get his own place. Not once did I even get a text to say thank you from her. So fast forward to the seating plan for my wedding AIBU to seat her and her husband at the back with friends rather than with the rest of the family? No one actually wants her there but my partner convinced me to invite her and she accepted. Should also add she has blocked me entirely so I wasn't expecting her to come but she replied via a card in the post and still hasn't unblocked me 🤔

It’s your choice not to have her there and tbh your fiancé has crossed a line convincing you.

id rescind my invite. Put your half brother at the head table and have a lovely day!

Couldn't he have sorted out his own job and a place to live? Or does he have SEN? If he does, then your mother sounds awful and deserves to be at the back

I would also uninvite her. Id feel awkward the whole day otherwise.

Why did your partner push to invite her when you clearly didn't want her there?

Sorry to be harsh OP but YABU. For the life of me I can't understand why you invited your Mum in the first place, why did your DP think this was a good idea?

I would uninvite and enjoy your wedding day.

I'd sit her in the hallway next to the toilet, but if that's not possible then pick the table furthest away from you.

I'd rescind the invite and tell her you are eloping instead. Continue with the wedding as planned. She doesn't have to know.
