How could a only child of a single parent (till she was 9) get married and not include her mom?

Only child, only daughter, wedding plans were ';sort of'; set for next spring in Key West and she decided to get married in North Carolina on vacation. She didn't tell me for 5 days afterward and is now sad because she made me sad. What did she expect me to feel?How could a only child of a single parent (till she was 9) get married and not include her mom?
A lot of people end up just eloping because they don't want to deal with the hassle and stress that a wedding causes. I have an uncle that did the same thing. Him and his gf went to N.C. for a vacation came back home to MO ten days later and were married. She probably didn't think you would be as sad and upset as you were. She was probably thinking this was a way not to deal with the stress and hassle but still be able to get married, and in a place she obviously enjoyed, and maybe even that it would be an interesting story for her kids someday. I'm sure she didn't mean to hurt you or she wouldn't be sad that it did.How could a only child of a single parent (till she was 9) get married and not include her mom?
What is done is done. I would suggest have a nice reception for her and make it as special as a wedding (flowers, dresses, etc). That way most of the typical wedding day stress isn't there and you can all just sit back and enjoy. Everyone can dress up and dance the night away.
mom, it was your daughters wedding day you should be happy/supportive with whatever decisions she made/makes to celebrate it her way only child or not
I think she was being selfish not thinking of the consequences of how it would make others feel.
Maybe she has pictures?
