I wanted to follow up and let you know what the results of my horrible guest list adventure.
My mother never followed through and made her list, so after five hours, a few crying sessions, and almost loosing my lunch, the list is final. I made it on my own, and I'm not changing it for anything. I feel i have given her the chance to participate and since she didn't she no longer can submit complaints. I did explain to my father that he need to let his mother know that she will not be attending the ceremony but will be more than welcome at the reception, he was fine with it.
So all in all I'm proud of myself and now i just need to stick to my guns and stand my ground. besides "it's my wedding!" Thank you so much for validating me, it helped my confidence. I realize that some people will have hurt feelings, but they will get over it. I need to do what is right for me.
