The family feud that ended in a bride banning her own mother from her wedding.

Hundreds of guests watched as British actress Samia Ghadie married the man of her dreams recently. But there was one very important person missing: her mother.

According to The Sun, the 34-year-old had banned Patsy Ghadie, 66, from her nuptials with dancer Sylvain Longchambon following a long-running dispute that lead to an ultimatum about her attendance.

It reportedly all started when Patsy was relegated to the back of the church for the christening of the couple’s first child, Yves, last year, leaving her feeling isolated and unwanted. The incident placed a lasting strain on their relationship, which culminated in Patsy not earning a place on the guest list.

Ghadie previously told OK! Online she wanted to keep numbers low.

“With all the planning that’s gone into it, I want to be able to try and enjoy the day as much as we can,” she said.

“We’ve also tried to keep our guest numbers down as much as possible to our really close friends and family.”

And it wasn't just the ceremony that Patsy was excluded from. Ghadie, a star of hit UK programme Coronation Street, reportedly also left her mother out of the wedding planning, hen's party and, sadly, even dress shopping.

Also struck from the invite list was Ghadie's brother Tariq, with whom she has also feuded in the past.

With her father, Jospeh Ghadie, having passed away from cancer in 2009, it was left to her six-year-old daughter from a previous marriage to walk her down the aisle.

"Freya walked me down the aisle," Ghadie told OK!. "I didn’t want her to give me away as she’s never going to have to give me away in her life, so she walked me down the aisle as Sylvain is getting Freya as well."

Despite the family tension, Ghadie told OK! the day was better than she could have imagined.

“It was absolutely magical to spend it with friends and family who we love,” she said.
