“Full or minor excluding my parents from bridal party/wedding (also legal action??)”

Jury deliberation

• JUROR #1 · 15H AGO

  I’m with it. It’s your day…if your family is going to upset you on your special day I wouldn’t even have them there.

• JUROR #4 · 15H AGO

  It’s lovely that you want to have those important roles filled by the people (your friends) who were actually THERE for you in your life. You owe your parents nothing, and if they can’t handle not being in a specific role- on a day that they should only be filled with joy, their only goal to see their child happily married- then they never deserved those honors to begin with. Your parents should be asking you how they can support you, and be ready to do so in the way that you wish.

  Chosen family all the way

  Your parents ditched you when they did whatever BS they put you though, you're just returning the favor. Maybe someday they can realize what they did and properly apologize. Best wishes for your special day <3

  I find in favor of the plaintiff! Your life is yours. You have the right to choose who to have around you. Parents aren’t a transactional relationship, You do not owe them anything. They bring you into this world, and are tasked with caring for you. It’s not like you grow up with a debt to your parents for having raised you. Also, this is YOUR WEDDING!!! This day is as about you as they come. Do what makes you happy! Whatever happens here, you’ll remember forever. For better, or for

  Make a firm decision and stick with it. 2. sounds like it could be really unpleasant for everyone. If they're there and not allowed to act as parents at normal weddings it'll just make your wedding very awkward.

• JUROR #40 · 5H AGO

  Since the initial family rupture in late 2021, you've consistently chosen friends over family for major milestones. This pattern is established. What's new here is the legal action consideration, which feels reactive rather than necessary. Your parents created the drama, yes, but excluding them from witnessing your wedding (option one) already delivers the consequence. The bridal party specifics feel like you're still negotiating with them through absence. Note this is the th

  I wasn't going to comment but since we're all here, your friends showed up when it mattered and that counts for something real. Parents had years to be in your corner and they chose the drama instead. Walk yourself down that aisle or let your actual people do it. Your wedding, your choice, full stop.

  I feel bad even saying this but I think you get to choose your people here (and I say this as someone whose parents were also pretty rough, which maybe biases me). The bridal party thing is genuinely yours to decide, those friendships sound like they actually showed up for you in ways that matter. That said, completely excluding them from the wedding itself feels like a different choice and might create more drama than it solves, but like, that's also your call to make and I'
