    The reasonable explanation for her absence is, "MOG is not here because she is horrible and tricked her son in such a way that she got our honeymoon hotel reservation information and cancel our suite. We now have no where to stay on our honeymoon. We uninvited her and frankly, I don't ever want to see her again."

    Easy enough explanation but do you want to spend the entire day answering that to everyone? OR would you rather just assign someone to cover her for the day to prevent further damage from her, enjoy the wedding day and then go NC

    My mother and sister have both called places (doctor's offices and the like) pretending to be me. They know my birthdate and my social security number, so no one questions them. Their motivation is snooping/needing to know everything about my life. They also both open my mail (and try to pretend it's accidental) so I've had a PO Box for years now. Fortunately(?) they don't usually try to sabotage me/do weird things like cancel hotel reservations; they're just nosy control freaks. But I've had enough of a taste of this kind of behavior that I would go nuclear in OP's shoes. I'd have the text msg screenshots printed on giant posters and placed in a corner of the wedding, along with a poster-sized printout of the hotel's cancellation email, along with a written explanation of the "exhibit" as if it were an art piece. If anyone asked why the groom's mother was absent, I'd point towards the corner with its printed explanation of the story XD

    That is illegal!!! But I also know it’d be hard to prove, and also you probably don’t want more drama though… I’ll be super pissed on your behalf.
