Jennifer Aniston Estranged Mother Invited to Justin Theroux Wedding Despite Prior Snub
Jennifer Aniston will reportedly invite her estranged mother to her and Justin Theroux's wedding, according to a new report.
Theroux, who proposed to Aniston on his birthday Friday, has reportedly convinced Aniston to invite Nancy Dow to their wedding ceremony after not inviting her to her 2000 nuptials to Brad Pitt.
"Nancy and Jennifer have had their ups and downs, but they're going to let bygones be bygones and she will be invited to her daughter's wedding ceremony," a family insider reportedly told RadarOnline.com.

"She was told of the invitation by her son, John, which she was obviously delighted with. Sadly, the initial fallout between Nancy and Jennifer in 1999 meant that she wasn't on the guest list for the 2000 wedding to Brad Pitt -- something that always haunted her," the source went on.
The 43-year-old former "Friends" actress reconciled with Dow in 2008 following their 12-year estrangement, although the relationship has reportedly remained tense. Aniston urged her mother to never discuss her private life to the press, but Dow blatantly ignored these requests and in 1996 did a tell-all TV interview.
"Nancy's reasons for doing that have always been suspect, but Jennifer and all those 'Friends' stars were under such a microscope. It's easy to see why they were so gun-shy. When Nancy did that interview, Jen just went ballistic," a source previously said.
Theroux, 41, reportedly has strong family values which prompted him to persuade Aniston to invite Dow to their wedding ceremony.
"But the pair has healed their differences and, with the help of Justin, Nancy will get an invite this time around. Justin comes from a tight-knit family, who he is very close to. He preaches family values to Jennifer and he said to her he'd love a private, low-key ceremony with all their family members present," the source said.
"She agreed, said she'd forgiven her mom for her past discrepancies and that Nancy should be a guest at her second wedding," the insider added.
Despite recent reports that the pair had split, the couple are very much still together and Theroux's representative confirmed their engagement.
"Justin Theroux had an amazing birthday Friday, receiving an extraordinary gift when his girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston, accepted his proposal of marriage," Theroux's representative Ina Treciokas said Sunday.
