Wynonna Judd Wedding Snubs: Singer Explains Why Ashley & Naomi Were Not Invited

Evan Agostini, AP

The famous Judd women -- actress Ashley and country icons Naomi and Wynonna -- have certainly weathered their share of family storms. Just last year, Ashley released a memoir that accused her mother of neglect, among other things, claiming that when Naomi's star was on the rise, she left her youngest daughter with drug-abusing caregivers. Then Naomi and Wynonna revealed painful family secrets of their own on their reality TV show, "The Judds," which gave an intimate look at the mother and daughter working to heal old wounds.

"We became closer than I think we've ever been," Wynonna told The Boot of filming the show, which also documented The Judds reunion tour.

Fans breathed another sigh of relief earlier this month when Ashley showed up as the first guest on Naomi's new SiriusXM radio show, "Think Twice," proving her relationship with Mom is not estranged in the wake of her tell-all book. But just after it seemed all three ladies made nice, Wynonna tied the knot and did not invite her mom and sister to the wedding. So is another Judds family feud brewing? Not exactly.

"We're getting ready to sit down with our life coach and re-evaluate what we want out of this relationship ... We just don't have a lot of contact right now, if any, because we're all doing our own thing," Wynonna Judd told Us Weekly magazine when probed about getting married without her mom and sister in attendance. "If I know Ashley, she would have re-positioned my dress, or Mom would have given me a Kleenex to stuff in my bra, or told me I have something in my teeth. I just didn't want that. I just wanted to get married!"

Wynonna and longtime beau Cactus Moser were wed June 10 on the singer-songwriter's farm in Leiper's Fork, Tenn. It's the same property where both Ashley and Naomi have homes. But Wynonna isn't even sure if her family is aware that she is now officially Mrs. Moser.

"Ashley's probably so busy with [husband] Dario [Franchitti] having won the Indianapolis 500, she probably doesn't even know," she admitted. "I'm getting ready to have a meeting with Ashley, and re-do our family contract and re-set our boundaries ... It's just really healthy."

But for now, Wynonna is more concerned about the health of her own household. That's why she kept the ceremony small, with just her children, Grace and Elijah, and her groom's kids, Cahl, Wyatt and Sunshine, there to witness the nuptials.

"I didn't want it to be about anyone but Cactus and me," Wynonna explained. "To me, at the end of the day, it's the children, Cactus, and me ... I was so concerned about making this feel special for them, everything fell away."

i hope ashley doesnt read this crap.
WHINEona is incapable of settling herself down, she'll look for every opportunity to create disharmony - the irony.

Ashley Judd is the only sane one of the three. She seems to have it together and got a great education and is going around the world helping others. Wynona and Naomi are train wrecks. I'm so sick of hearing about their dysfunctional relationship. Seriously, a Life Coach? Are you kidding me? I think it's completely bizarre you wouldn't invite your mother or sister to your wedding but it is her third after all. This guy looks like he likes to drink a few. Just saying. He looks very rough around the edges and with her track record of men, this will probably end in divorce too.

How can anyone get married without their mother or sister there? Especially when they all live on the same property. I always thought in a way Wynonna was down to earth but not now I think she is very selfish......to me that should tell her new husband a whole lot about her character. And her quote "I'm getting ready to have a meeting with Ashley, and re-do our family contract and re-set our boundaries ... It's just really healthy." Healthy, no it's not, family contract and boundaries, what a joke! Just like her flaming red hair, YUCK!

Messed up doesn't even begin to describe what Wynonna Judd is. She's despicable.

Another "it's all about me" syndrome occasion. Invite or not to invite - it's her decision and one she will live with, who cares. I know we all have family issues but Ashley seems to have a chip on her shoulder so she throws her Mom under the bus. It's hard being a parent so maybe she should try it and then maybe she would be less critical.

I'm so sick of hearing about those Judds and their life coaches. Ashley seems like the only sane one of the three.
