My Future Mother-in-Law Thinks My Fiancé’s Wedding Is About His Dad… Not Us.

When did weddings become less about love, and more about politics? My fiancé (26M) recently finalized his groomsmen list—he picked his childhood best friend as best man. Totally normal, right? But when he told his mom, she lost it. She said she was appalled that he didn’t make his father the best man. I was stunned. His dad is in his life, sure, but they’re not best man close. His mom said it’s a “sign of respect” and that people will “talk” if the father isn’t front and center. Apparently, it would be embarrassing for their family image. But isn’t the best man supposed to be someone who’s been there for you? Someone who knows your heart, not just shares your blood? We’re now in this strange limbo where his mom won’t speak to him. I feel like we’re being punished for not following some invisible tradition. Are we being disrespectful—or just modern? #WeddingDrama #ToxicTraditions #BestManBattle #InLawPressure #RespectIsEarned #ModernMarriage #FamilyVsSelf #NotYourWedding #CulturalClash #BridalTalk
