My Family Refused to Come to My Wedding after Seeing What My Fiancé Wrote in the Invitations. Am I Wrong for Taking Their Side?

Michael and his fiancé Natalie planned their wedding, but Natalie sent out invitations with strict rules — no hired staff, guests had to help clean up, and everyone had to leave by 10:30 PM because they had an early honeymoon flight. Michael’s family and friends were upset and felt disrespected.

Michael confronted Natalie, who insisted the rules were necessary to save money and keep things organized. This caused tension between them, with family threatening to skip the wedding. Despite attempts to talk, Natalie refused to change the rules, saying if loved ones can’t support them, maybe they shouldn’t come.

The stress and disagreements led Natalie to leave temporarily, and the wedding was put on hold as Michael and Natalie struggled to find common ground between love, loyalty, and practicality.
