Wow...your Mom sounds so much like mine that it's scary!
For instance when I moved out of state my Mom wouldn't
speak to me for 6 months. Mind you we didn't move because
we wanted to we left because my husband had lost his job.
Your Mom is using a very damaging weapon called guilt in
order to get her way. I am sure she is a hard person to talk
to and the only way I could release my emotions during my
move thing was to sit down and write my Mom in regard to
how her actions were affecting me emotionally. I would explain
to her that this was suppose to be a happy time in your life
and due to her behavior and refusal to attend it has now
become a very unhappy time in your life. You didn't choose
your father she did! Now that they are on the outs it should
not affect you. Both should be there equally when it comes to
supporting your future and your happiness should be their
only focus. I don't know any Mother in this world that would
miss her daughters wedding for something so petty.My
thoughts are with you...
