AITA for not wanting my fiance's grandmother (98F) at our wedding?
My fiance (30M) and I (28F) are getting married next month. Everything is going great, but we've been having a serious argument about having his grandmother at our wedding.

We've agreed to not have kids at our wedding, as we want the reception to be a huge party for your adult friends and family with dancing, loud music and an open bar. However, for the same reasons that we don't want kids there, I don't want his elderly grandmother at our wedding either. I said she can come to the ceremony but not reception. It will be  loud and I want it to be a party atmosphere, and she will be extremely out of place. For context, none of my grandparents are still alive, and he still has his last living grandmother.

This has caused a huge fight, since she said she has always dreamed about being at her grandson's wedding (he is her oldest grandchild and she probably won't make it to the next family wedding).

        A lot ... but that one sounds plausible.

        Also, kids love loud music and dancing! Kids and old people make weddings better.

        My fiancé's daughter was killed the year before our wedding and my family was upset we were putting a small table with her picture and a verse in the reception hall so we felt she was included (step-mom thought it was morbid). Fuck them, we had the table and it was lovely.

        Every wedding I’ve been to with no kids or grandparents ended by 9. Every wedding with kids and grandparents went on past midnight

        For the groom's sake, I hope this goes viral. That dude needs to run his way out of that field of red flags.
