AITJ for not wanting to attend my mother's wedding?

So a little bit ago, I (22m) got an invite to my mother's wedding and when I told my dad, he told me that I had to go and that I should take my fiancee as well so she can meet me my mom. I told him that my mom's barely been in my life that I know she doesn't love me. He got mad at that and pretty much ordered me and told me I'm disrespecting my mom's and his pain if I don't go.

My mom and dad are from a country where your parents can force you to go and be married far too young. My mom wasn't 13 when I was born and my dad wasn't 14. When my mom turned 18, my dad helped her escape to Canada and she's lived in Vancouver ever since. She's come out and she's getting married to a woman. After my dad married my stepmom, my dad moved us all to Toronto.

Since then, I've seen my mom like ten times. She calls every now and then and sends emails but it's clear that she doesn't want to be in my life. She gives me 20k every birthday for my education. But like, she's getting married and she sent me an invite in the mail? She couldn't even call me to tell me? Am I being the jerk about this?
