Mom won't attend wedding
Throwaway account. I am planning a super small wedding. For this reason I wasn't booking far out, a couple months or so. I was kind of looking in my home town area but I don't like where I live so I wasn't really happy about it, a few places I didn't mind didn't have my date which I am particular about. I managed to find a spot about 6 hours from home that was perfect and had my date available. It was all I needed and much prettier then where I live. Plus I love that it can create a fond memory of the destination. I told my mom this and she was super unhappy. Calling me selfish with it being so last minute (2.5 months) and now saying she won't be there. She really insists I'm being really selfish about it. Just dead set in saying it's my fault and I'm being terrible. My fiances family was totally happy with the location and are traveling a decent bit further with no issue. My fiance himself agrees he didn't really want it in our home area and loves the venue we picked. Am I wrong to have expected her to want to make it work? We are really close so it was surprising to see her reaction to this extent. Would you have just settled and booked something close to home to make parents happy?
