Couple have 'serious argument' before wedding after bride-to-be bans partner's grandmother

A couple have been left in a furious row after the bride-to-be banned her fiance's grandmother from attending the wedding.

Taking to popular Reddit page 'Am I the Asshole', the 28-year-old explained that she was banning all kids from her wedding as she wanted the reception "to be a huge party for your adult friends and family".

However, based on the same reasoning, the soon to be married woman said she would not like her partner's grandmother to attend because it will be too loud.

And the decision, she says, has led to a huge argument between her and her man just days before they are set to walk down the aisle.

The woman said: "My fiance (30M) and I (28F) are getting married next month. Everything is going great, but we've been having a serious argument about having his grandmother at our wedding.

"We've agreed to not have kids at our wedding, as we want the reception to be a huge party for your adult friends and family with dancing, loud music and an open bar. However, for precisely the same reasons that we don't want kids there, I don't want his elderly grandmother at our wedding either. I said she can come to the ceremony but not the reception. It will be extremely loud and I want it to be a party atmosphere, and she will be extremely out of place. For context, none of my grandparents are still alive, and he still has his last living grandmother.

"This has caused a huge fight, since she said she has always dreamed about being at her grandson's wedding (he is her oldest grandchild and she probably won't make it to the next family wedding). Which is why I said that she's more than welcome at the ceremony, but she will just be too out of place at the reception. She and he both insist that she will be fine and wants to go to the party. But I just know it will inevitably lead to us dealing with her and taking care of her, and I just want to get drunk and let loose with my friends.

"She's now really upset and won't talk to me, and my fiance is also angry. I think I am within my right to make this request, I am the bride after all."

Do you think she has a point?
