Your parents are getting married, not your grandmother. They decide.
Etiquettewise, it is apropriate for a young lady to bring a date to the wedding. But if you are 14, I agree with Grandma. If you are 16, then it is okay
However, do they feel you are too young to date or has your boyfriend treated you badly/made you unhappy. They may not want him there if so.
Also consider that if you have a role in the wedding such as being a bridesmaid, etc, you may not have a lot of time to hang out with a date.
I would give you the advice from someone who has been there - if he goes, don't put him in the family photos (posing with the family). because if you are not together in a few years you will always have to look at a picture of him standing next to your parents forever.

You go to the wedding reception. Your boyfriend isn't a member of the family and there is no requirement for a date. Just tell him that you will be involved with the reception stuff and leave it at that.

It IS your parents reception, but as others have said, he may not be around long enough to make it worth the hassle. Keep in mind that you are putting a stranger before your own blood.

If your grandma is planning and/or paying for the wedding, she has the ultimate say about who is invited and who isn't. Keep it a family affair, go have a good time and be there for your parents, and plan a fun date with your boyfriend for afterward.

Get over it. You can live without him for a few hours. Stop thinking only of yourself and concentrate on your parents for the evening -that is the best gift you could give them - a few hours of selflessness.

Then he doesn't go. It is not required that you have a date. If he wasn't invited then he doesn't go. This isn't just because you are underage, it would work that way for anyone who was not married or engaged. Inviting BF/GF is at the convince and pleasure of those throwing the reception.

Because your boyfriend won't be around by the time the wedding comes anyway - listen to your Gramma, and spend your spare time learning to spell. (start with Gramma, boyfriend, and reception)

Respect your grandmother's descion, but ask your parent to talk to her about it. Tell them that you would really prefer him there for this wonderful moment in their lives. If she (or they) still arent persuaded, then sorry babe. You're outta luck. But, make sure you keep your guy filled in on all that's going on so far and your progress on getting him in there. It might not hurt to have him stop by and give granny a visit.....:] smile!

Do your parents care if he goes to the reception? Since it's their party- it's their decision. Not grandmas.
