MOB and FOB at wedding?

Sandy, on June 11, 2010 at 2:09 PM Posted in Planning 0 17

Some unspoken issues have began and due to lack of communication, the parents are considering not attending the wedding or reception. MOB and FOB had been really close to bride and FH. Overnight everything changed and nobody's talking--any clues? Texting doesn't help--emails don't either--and phone goes to voicemail. Would like some closure--any help would be great--will take all advice, no matter what!

    Sandy, is this still going back to the venue issue as you originally posted in the answers section? A few of us tried to help you there but unfortunately without further clarification around the issue I am not sure there is much else we can say . . .

    Still the exact same issue and is getting no better and making FOB and MOB physically sick--FOB does have serious medical issues which this is making worse

    Father and I were very close with bride and the groom--really excited, everybody was! found a venue Bride and groom super excited which made FOB thrilled. all weekend Bride telling everyone -- FH even came to house Sunday and talked about venue. Monday afternoon Bride still so excited--then nothing--silence absolutely no communication Bride and FH treat MOB and FOB like we have the plague! but no one will talk to MOB or FOB bride is a big daddy's girl and it is hard for FOB more than MOB I have no clue what to do MOH is getting big fancy wedding 2 weeks later with all the fixing but we just can't afford that!! I am getting desperate for advice and I tried to leave it alone but were so close to both cannot understand the distancing and not talking--I'm sure not just stress!

    Sandy is the MOB (correct me if I am wrong). Thank you for clarifying, I was under the impression that there was a disagreement over the venue but I am not so sure the issue is even related now. I agree with Brian's first comment, I'd go there, even if it means sitting on the porch waiting for them to come home. But I would be very careful not to be too judgemental (no 'you did this' 'you didn't do this') as it might just set them off further. I would just tell her/him that you and her father are very worried seeing as you haven't spoken in so long and explain to them that whatever is the issue, you just want to work through this like the adults that you all are. And hope for the best.

    Do you think she is upset that she can't have the grand wedding her MOH is having? If that is the issue than maybe for her sake its better to move the wedding up a bit, then she won't feel so over shadowed. However, at the end of the day, its about being married to the person you love and not the cake or the flowers or the dress.

    SOOOO confusing and hard to read...I'm not great with "text-speak", but unless you are one on the people listed, I agree with Brian, stay out of it.

    Thanks for all the advice I think her father and me will just forget the whole thing It's a no win situation anyhow so we will just let the issue be done and won't talk anymore about it. And to Analy, I am the MOB if that means anything

    @LovelyQ no need to freak the woman out! I'm sure the authorities would have called at this point since this has been going for at least a week (prob. more, I don't remember the first post). I think you're smart to let it be for now Sandy.

    Everything was very good with us. We really saw the FH like our own son and was very excited for daughter and him. I would be able to tell the bride anything and the groom was always there for anything we needed. One afternoon things were fine--next day, total silence except that FH didn't like to be surprised by venue but acted (and said) it was okay. Guess not? I'm sure there is something FOB and MOB don't know but I'm not psychic so just will back away. But appreciate everybody's help especially Jess H and Brian!

    Ok, ya, that is what we were asking! We needed to know who you were!

    This all seems really....fishy? to me...I feel like there is a LOT not being said. I mean, what mother BACKS AWAY from her child, that she has had a "great" relationship with a few DAYS before her wedding?!? I'm with Brian and Lovely, you NEED to find her and talk to her.
