i can't believe this! like really

Hello all we are 6 days away from our Big day. YaySmiley heart Smiley shame first off happy mother's day to all. So here it goes I'm a little pissed right now. My fiance calls his mom today and wishes her a happy mother's day. She isn't too fond of me because of a past situation regarding him. During our 9 yr relationship she was never supportive hardly ever contacted him I would say 2 times in the 9 years we've been together he explained she rarely if ever dealt with him as a kid and he's used to it and for me not to bother he PREFER I don't deal with them. Long story short she neglected him. He has depression and ADHD. The depression was behind her calling him a mistake. Now we got engaged in June 2019. At that time we both had facebook accounts so she saw the ring online and called him stating "Oh you getting married huh? Congrats!" in a sarcastic tone. So we pretty much let that go and didn't think much about it. We had to postpone once due to COVID. but in spite of her being a you know what. I still invited her and the family to come. Well she and the rest of his family declined because of COVID (which is understandable) but my fiance and I both know if it wasnt covid they still would not show. As a result we are ELOPING. His aunt swore up and down that she would come to our ceremony because she wants to be SUPPORTIVE since the rest of the family isn't. The moment we told her NOT to bring a camera because we have a photographer she IMMEDIATELY called us the following day stating she can't come. We dont want our pictures leaked out like that. We feel if you can't attend either ceremony or celebration later you don't deserve a picture. So anyways fast forward to today he calls to wish her a happy mother's day and she then asks him "Are you guys still getting married on Saturday because I thought you wasn't gonna do it i haven't heard anything?" He says yes we are still doing it. She then asks "Are you gonna post any pictures online?" He states "No we will give pictures out to people when they come to the celebration of marriage on our 1 year anniversary?" She then replies "Oh you not posting anything?" and he said "No we don't have facebook accounts anymore we are not activating accounts just to post wedding pics". We both spoke about this afterwards We both feel that she didn't dealt with HIM being your FIRST BORN and ONLY son. Its just sad he told me this is why he doesn't want me dealing with them because he knows how they think and he don't want to be bothered with them. He has told me the only time he wants me to contact them is if he was to die. That's his wishes and I will respect it. Just need some advice I believe as a wife to be did I handled this right. Any suggestions.

    Sorry this is a situation for you guys. I would say let him lead the way and follow his lead. Respect is wishes and don't push "family" (his family) things on him.

    That really stinks, I’m sorry. I say, if your fiancé has asked you to stay out of it, respect his wishes and leave it to him to deal with. Let him deal with things his own way and when he needs your help, help him. You can still let him know that you’re there for him, but if he doesn’t want you go contact his family, don’t.

    I would definitely follow his wishes. It’s really hard to deal with family drama, and it can be especially difficult in regards to major life events like weddings, but he knows his mom better than anyone, so if he doesn’t want you reaching out or doesn’t care about her being involved in his life then you just have to let it be. I really respect you guys for not budging on your choice to not post pictures online, and I actually love that you guys are giving pictures to people to the first anniversary of your marriage

    We just feel its only right on our celebration next year. If people are nice enough to take time out of their day to celebrate with us why not give them a picture it makes sense. His family is a trip.

    I think you did fine. You sent out invitations so no one can say you tried excludeing them but your also not breaking your back for them. You threw the rope down the hole for them to climb out, dont waist your time pulling them out if they wont try climbing. My familey is similar, my family doesnt "need" females so they only ever acknowledge females when they are marrying into the family or have managed to become pregnant. My parents were very abusive in multiple ways so I have nothing to do with them. My partner and I have decided we will send out invitations with a picture of us both that way they can clearly see we are both females and that there will be no reason for them to show up at all. We are not even going to plan for anyone from my side of the family to show up that's just how families are sometimes. And sometimes it's better that they are the way they are because if they were to show up it wouldn't really be a happy wedding anyways.

    I don't get it. What's wrong with what she asked? And what does the last sentence mean?

    Ok since you copied and paste the second part of what I said. You might want to copy the first part as well because the answer is in the FIRST part Smiley smile . (Make sure to read it first) Or better yet some of other posters responses might help you with the answer to my last sentence.
