Momma bear of wedding guest... With an update - Carolyn Hax

I started reading this letter to Carolyn Hax and was just
stunned. I loved Hax's reply and was even happier to see it had
an update from the original poster. I've gifted the article so
you shouldn't hit a pay wall.

Good outcome! Yeah, the mom was way over the top in her
reaction.
Planning a wedding is a fun game that very few people get 100%
right. You always end up leaving someone off the list or
including someone you shouldn't have.
I think the bride handled it quite graciously. A little
understanding and forgiveness go a long way.

I read this article today also and thought Ms. Hax's reply was
great. This Mom's update was great too. She was so far off in
her response to the wedding invite. I would call that a
"tempest in a teapot". Glad she has changed her outlook.

My first thought, reading through the original letter was the
same as Carolyns -- everyone else is fine with the situation,
why hold a grudge? Let it go already.
I liked Carolyns response. Very politely and succintly put at
the same time gently letting the LW that she was in the wrong.
Great response from the LW.

A great example, I think, of being kind while still holding
someone to account and pointing out their errors.
