One thing younger generations are finally getting right is making their wedding ceremony about themselves, not anyone else. But weddings used to be family events where you were expected to invite everyone in your bloodline, whether you knew them or not.
Culturally, many countries still follow this tradition, hosting gigantic celebrations with hundreds of guests the bride and groom may have never even met. But nowadays, more people are saying no, because they believe their wedding should be about them (plus, money). Unfortunately, not every parent sees it that way. One woman shared her wedding nightmare on r/TwoHotTakes, and netizens had plenty to say.
Big weddings were always marketed as the desired ceremony for any young girl
But a young couple disagreed, and while they wanted a small wedding, the bride's parents heavily disagreed
Readers urged the woman to immediately cut contact with her toxic parents
A year later, she updated the post with news about her wedding ceremony and about her parents
Everyone congratulated her on both her decisions, and her marriage
