My Daughter Banned Me From Her Wedding. So I Secretly Canceled The Whole Thing I....- Reddit Stories

[@MH_Prof]

No one should even be expected to pay for a wedding they can’t attend.

[@williamj.dovejr.8613]

Why is she so shocked? Did she expect him to just sit there and take it? If she wants only her friends to attend, she should have sought to finance it with her fiance.

[@RedditFamilyTales]

Yeah! She banned him but still expected his support-definitely bold! Do you think he was right to cancel, or did he go too far?

Daddy doesn't seem great either

[@AlfiyaOzhanova]

@carolinef1508. He isn't good father for sending her to his sister and then to his parents, but he still cared more about her than her bio mother. Anyway she wanted to humiliate him at her wedding day by denying his access to the venue while using him to fund her wedding. His money isn't her money. He should just leave all his money to someone else. She is his only child and she thinks he can do nothing about her, despite her ungrateful and disrespectful actions she is still his only heir. He should adopt several children and leave all his family's wealth to the adopted children.

[@RandomTrinidadian]

Ava is a total lost cause. She is beyond help at this point

[@Allie_phelps]

Well the daughter played stupid games and she certainly won stupid prizes. I get she had a hard time growing up but she was largely at fault for that. She couldn’t stand that the father moved on but he still supported her financially, helped out with college, and even finding a job. Some kids just can’t deal with their parents moving on and doing what is right for them. I certainly wouldn’t have been the fool to continue to financially support her spoiled entitled ass, even if that means cancelling the wedding I PAID FOR. Cut that toxic shit out of your life OP because she’ll never change and she’ll always just use you for what you can do for her and nothing more EDIT: why didn’t Ava have the same hatred for her mother? It was the mother that wanted absolutely nothing to do with her after she cheated, destroyed the marriage and moved away with her new husband. Thats not OPs fault and he shouldn’t have to spend his life alone because his daughter is a toxic mess that not even the aunt can deal with

[@RobDaCajun]

I’d hazard Ava directed her anger/hatred towards the parent who was dependable. Was it misdirected? Yes. Ava is cooked because she’s probably too hard set now.

I have an entitled sister, She claims my 70+ yr old mother HAS to do things for her and her children because "Shes their grandmother." And before that she claimed it was because "Shes my mother." According to her our mothers and grandmothers shouldnt be upset when they are borrow something to people and dont get what is borrowed back. My sister thinks she can just take and take without giving anything else in return except, "the love of her grandchildren. "

[@SaskiaTheBoss]

i won’t have to worry about anyone canceling my wedding because the people who will be in attendance are genuinely on my side & want it to happen. luckily for me, my man’s parents already knew me young & literally chaperoned out childhood date lol, so they’ve already had a fond heart for me very young. i’ve known them in some of their best years, & they’ve seen me at my mini stage! 😊

[@nialoveseggrolls]

Ma'am you can put the phone down now. This is like your 5th comment on the same post

[@fredericksharon6908]

No one cares :)

[@SaskiaTheBoss]

the reason why in some culture it is the groom’s family who pays, was to show the bride’s family that they were well off enough to take care of her throughout her entire lifetime. it is a gift from the family who loves their union so deeply, & don’t want them to start life with any financial struggles. that’s what you call generational blessings & generational wealth!

[@tammyhoffman998]

The reason it is the other way in other countries so they can marry their daughters off otherwise they would just be old maids. On there own fathers dime.

Old story. Father should have laid down the law when she was a kid but from the beginning the father is the least to blame in all of this. The daughter is entitled and selfish completely and utterly.

[@lizzieliz6717]

People shouldn't have a wedding if they can't afford it. Don't go running to your parents to pay for it. They are not your ATMs.

this is why my fiancé’s family & i will be paying for our own shyt! i am 100% being very selective on who can & can’t come to my fairytale wedding! my ancestors will be in attendance & i don’t need any family sellouts around their energetic presence! they don’t like you!

[@tammyhoffman998]

I think she is bi polar and her mom abandoned her and she couldn't cope with this fact. She does need intense therapy because she wants to take out her angry on the mother figure that stayed and is apart of her dad's life. Maybe her real mom is bi polar too.

i just think paying for your own wedding is the best game plan! culturally, it’s the family of the groom anyway who pick up the tab! that’s what i was surrounded by, until i seen all these women struggle to keep worthless dudes around! i’m cultured & will honor myself & my spouse. i plan everything, your family who loves my unconditionally & even more than mine, can gladly pay as they wish!

[@staceyrashkin2609]

This is ridiculous. This is exactly why AiI should not be writing things for people. So did Mercy tell you to get rid of Ava or to keep her? The next sentence after that it says that Mercy said to wait. It makes no sense. Then it goes on to call her a Native American and then a few words after that calls her family Middle Eastern...

[@UI_Marx]

This a interesting story but the background video is giving me diabetes

[@lightningsamurai4482]

The OP is lying Why would her fiance's boss care about their wedding? He's criticizing her for explaining that you acknowledged for mistreating her & hitting her stepmother? Generating negativity due to him crying ? He said that she was got a respectable job, but she was living off his money? Native Americans don't live in the Middle East She said that stepmother is independent, but also a gold digger? It sounds she was a gold digger not to mention that he said that that the stepmother was 12 years younger than him. That sounds like a gold digger to me. Why is he trying to stop her from saying her side of the story? It's because it's not true. They can get married in City Hall He said that she he didn't touch her bank account, but has a job. Why would the ex-fiance call him & say how terrible his daughter was instead of just file for divorce & leave her. He's not paying for the wedding otherwise all he would've freezed everything; he might be rich, but if he was actually in control of paying for the wedding she would've been forced to invite him. He said that she lost her friends because she had a rage problem; this is possible, but unlikely due to the fact that this sounds like a movie rather than reality. He said that Ava attacked her & the stepmother when the stepmother wasn't there. Keep in mind that just because someone posts something online doesn't make it true; there was a similar situation where a woman claimed that she did everything for her daughter & she was ungrateful. Everyone believed it until the daughter said no, that wasn't true & that she was never for her. The mom just wanted a pity party P.S I'd like to hear Ava's side of the story

[@lilou9725]

where is your brain ? i’m looking but i can’t find it. just because you have a LOT of issues comprehending a youtube video doesn’t mean it’s the case for everybody

[@SusanaOSantos]

humm. He was behinde her back requesting the guest list for add a person withouth her knowledge and forced the planner to give him the guest list to make "arrangements" aka remove someone she wanted there to add the person he wanted. This gives me red flag vibes, I whish I could know her version of this and why she kicked him out.

[@c.b.h1151]

Right?

[@RedditFamilyTales]

Good point! There might be more to the story than we heard from his side. What do you all think-was the father justified, or could there be another side to why Ava banned him? Share your thought!

[@julielikesunicorns348]

Either way, once she made her decision, she shouldn't have expected that he would simply finance it after being banned. If you can't afford to get married, then don't get married. If you want to ban the person financing it, ensure you can finance it yourself.

[@queenlala916]

Yeah I just know he did something because why would she just not invite you 🤨

[@lilou9725]

what’s going on it yalls brain ??? a whole lot of nothing ?? she clearly a spoiled and entitled child. get your ears checked out and rewatched. if you have issues with someone don’t ask/ accept them to paying for your wedding. if all her friends and family want nothing to do with her maybe she is the problem ??? so what they’re all hallucinating her shitty behavior ??? connect to two brain cells you have left, please

[@benjamin2299]

He was correct to cancel, but to do so without informing her was an immature move

[@lizzieliz6717]

Why? Did the daughter tell him before taking that decision? It's amazing how she was OK with taking his money, but not ok with him being at the wedding.

[@hunter5425]

So his new wife is a Tuareg Apache?

[@lilou9725]

uh ? what are you on about ??

[@GhostBooberry]

This seems pretty fake.

[@JustAPrettyRock]

Besides the gold digger comments, is Ava racist or xenophobic as well? She said she's ashamed of her father's younger wife from a different cultural background. Mercy did the whole "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" thing by moving to a foreign country, studying hard, and working her way into a successful and respected career before she even met OP. So what is there to be ashamed of? That she's not "old money"? Or that she is a different race? Or is it because Mercy is young enough to still have children? Maybe Ava didn't want any chance of her father having another kid, which would reduce the amount of money and assets she could milk out of him.

@@fernandafefe2011we have no details on how he tried though. We only have one side of the story which is obviously going to be biased. Regardless of why it happened, being abandoned by every parental figure you’ve had in your life is going to mess you up. His daughter had an absolutely fucked childhood and ended up turning to drugs as an escape and his only comment is “this child is a pain in the ass” without at all acknowledging what could have led her down that path. From what it sounds like, he thought that she would just magically get over the fact that her mom abandoned her.
