[quote=Anonymous]If this is not a troll, then this all has almost nothing to do with the wedding and everything to do with messed up family dynamics. And that is fine, but OP really needs to see the bigger picture here.

Clearly, if this aunt is so close to the special needs teen, then she should have some awareness that going on and on about a wedding that the teen isn’t invited to is hurtful. This would be hurtful to many grown ups without cognitive delays.

Second, it is pretty unusual for siblings not to be close at all but to then have some close relationship with the kids of their sibling. I’m not particularly close with either of my sisters. They barely know my Kids — which is fine, we are not close.

Third, someone marrying someone when they hate their kids and grandkids is next level crazy.

Fourth, the parents jumping on the “we are so mad about teen niece, we won’t go to your wedding either” is next level crazy.

I don’t think OP handled this particularly well, but my bet is there is years of history playing out in all this that could never be explained in one post. Ultimately, if OP typically keeps all these people at arms length then skipping the reception isn’t a particularly big deal. And if sister is so mad, then OP can skip the whole thing. Of course, there are many other choices that might have made sense, but they are not what OP chose to consider.[/quote]
