I’m (32F) getting married soon and we’re planning a small, intimate wedding 8 hours away. I recently told my brother (28M) that his baby won’t be able to attend, and now his wife (27F) is upset and has decided not to come. For some context: I’ve never been close with my brother’s wife. We’ve never had a real connection. She’s just not what I look for in a friend. She’s nice. Just not my cup of tea. Now that I’m planning my own wedding, I set a clear boundary: no kids. I want the focus to be on me and not on a baby needing attention, especially since our parents are very involved grandparents. I know that’s important to them, but I’d like them fully present that weekend. It’s not about being spiteful—it’s about what I want for my wedding. My brother wasn’t happy about it, and now his wife is staying home because they don’t have anyone to watch the baby. That’s her decision. I didn’t ask her not to come—I just don’t want the baby there. Not my problem. I’m being made out to be the bad guy for sticking to this boundary, but I’ve been consistent from day one about keeping a distance. Am I wrong for holding this line for my wedding?
