Ann Romney banned her parents from her wedding ceremony.

52. Not an issue IMO

There's enough to excoriate Mitt and Ann over without having to include this aspect of it

Various religions and cultures have various practices and social norms which have to be accepted by those who enter into them. Some religions and cultures prevent the bride and groom from attending the wedding together, some religions and cultures have various procedures that the bride and groom have to go through before and after marriage and so on. I don't have to agree with all the practices of the various religions and cultures but, so long as they are not harming either the people involved, I will by and large respect them. If the Mormons don't allow non-Mormons into their temple, well I may not like the rule but I will generally not criticize them for it

Ann actually converted to Mormonism a while before Mitt and her got married (in fact she briefly broke up with Mitt even after converting to Mormonism) so getting married in a Mormon Temple was obviously in accordance with both their beliefs and they had to adhere to the traditions and practices of that Temple. They held a celebration shortly later that included Ann's family. I don't see the big deal
