My girlfriend doesn’t want my family at the wedding what do I do
Hello: backstory. My GF mom died 4 years ago, unfortunately I never got the chance to meet her. I am a huge family man.
My nuclear family and I are extremely close, I love them with all of my heart and sharing wedding day with them is extremely important to me.
Recently we’ve decided to get married and when talking about the wedding my GF doesn’t want my family anywhere near it and just wants to elope because she feels having my mom there will only remind her of what she doesn’t have.
I’ve suggested therapy for us but no luck. I feel so stuck and I can’t bring someone into my family who doesn’t want to be part of it, that’s a non-negotiable.

- It seems like she hasnt processed her mothers death and tbh if family is super important to you this may not be the time for a wedding. Im not saying end it but she really needs therapy and especially if she is going to heal enough to be able to be part of your family the way you hope.
She needs a therapy to process her grief. Problem is not the wedding, wedding is not mandatory after all, problem is she and her relationship with your mom. You wife should be able to be around MIL , and future grandma
