And ultimately, commenters decided that Rub could invite whoever they want into not only their wedding preparation, but life as well:

“You get to decide what type of relationship is healthiest for YOU when it comes to your parents. You expressed how you felt, and so did they. Doesn’t seem like they actually want to take responsibility for making a mistake, but are forcing you to ‘get over it.’ They had 16 years to make it right and chose not to. Now, they have to answer to family and friends about their involvement in your wedding and are trying to make you look like the bad guy.

I do think it’s important to work out these feelings and healthy boundaries in therapy if you haven’t done so already. But that is for your health and has nothing to do with them,” concluded user u/Jenuine_jeanna.
