Bride slammed by groom's family for not honouring his ex's 'simple' request

dailyrecord.co.uk:

A woman has been left baffled after her fiancé's ex-girlfriend requested to give a speech at their upcoming wedding, and the groom’s family are backing her.The bride-to-be, understandably, declined the ex's request, but she is still eager to speak, while her future mother-in-law has accused the bride of being "oversensitive" for not wanting the ex to have a speaking role on the big day.On Reddit’s popular Am I The A**hole (AITA) forum, she shared: "My fiancé was dating ‘Katy’ for years then they broke it off.

She still comes around since she’s close to his family. By how much time they had spent together, Katy seems to know my fiancé really well."That didn't bother me at first, but it became an issue when she asked that I let her give a speech at the wedding since she knows him well, and wanted to tell a ‘few funny’ stories about him."The woman said this request made her feel "extremely uncomfortable" so she apologised and told Katy she didn't think it was "appropriate" for her to deliver a speech.

Then, her future mother-in-law "got involved and started lecturing" her, telling her she needed to "stop being negative".The bride-to-be vented about the awkward situation: "[She] claimed I was making this ‘about me’ (but it’s my wedding!) My fiancé is choosing to stay out of it, but the pressure is on me now. "I'm being called ‘oversensitive’ and [told I need] to ‘loosen up’ as this could be a good opportunity to add more laughter and joy to the event, but to be completely honest on here, I don’t want his ex to take any part in our wedding, even if she's a friend of the family and they’ve known her since she was a teenager."Reddit users offered their verdict.
