Hi everyone, I'm about 3 months out from my wedding day and starting to get the actual nerves about potential drama kicking in. Long story short, I have some family members that have been openly unsupportive about my choice to marry my fiance (who is amazing, just not the right political party) since we got engaged. In fact, not a single extended family member even congratulated us on our engagement because my fiance didn't ask "for permission" (which I did not want him to). Also important context- I am the youngest and only girl in my family, also the first one of my generation to be getting married. Anyway, my fiance and I were planning to elope overseas, but due to COVID had to cancel those plans. My mom begged me to let her throw me a big wedding (and she is footing the entire bill for it, for which I'm very grateful). Because she is paying for it, and she wants me to invite these family members, I did. I know they will come too, because it would ruin their image as a loving and supportive family to other people if they declined to come (sounds harsh but it's the truth).
I can't help but worry that on what should be the best day of my life, the fact that these family members are there is going to cause me undue stress. I want to completely focus on my fiance and our love and not even give these people a second thought. I know family drama is common at weddings, so any advice for enjoying the day and not paying mind to unsupportive people is appreciated.
