Bridezilla Bans Uncle from Wedding, Demands Gift

A mother writes to advice columnist Amy Dickinson about her daughter's request to exclude her conservative uncle from her wedding due to political differences. The mother complied with her daughter's request, but now feels upset and embarrassed that her brother did not send a wedding gift. Dickinson points out the bride's hypocrisy in wanting to exclude her uncle but still expecting a generous gift. She advises the mother to have a conversation with her daughter about the consequences of her actions and to inform her that the uncle will not be giving a gift.
