Re: Debate- New twist on the wedding question

Your example isn't apples to apples, it's apples to oranges. In your example the person not being invited is related to one of the people getting married by blood. But to answer you, yes if it is what the bride AND groom want then it's their right. Of course if it's not what the groom wants he may want to rethink the marriage.

Second scenerio,no, it's not dad and SM's wedding. If the sibling chooses not to extend an invitation it would be THEIR right although unless the uninvited sibling is one to incite drama it's unlikely their sister or brother wouldn't want them there.

Just because someone married someone who has kids it doesn't automatically make them a step"parent". It makes them a spouse of someone who has kids. My XSO's daughter got married 5 months ago. She did not invite her dad or his wife to the wedding. She had her reasons. He moved away from the kids to marry this woman. Having spent 3 years with him and the kids I know that he had always promised them he wouldn't ever move until they graduated from high school. He broke a promise she took very seriously. His wife has NEVER been her stepmom. Guess who WAS invited to the wedding? It made me really sad to not see her dad walk her down the aisle but he made his choice and so did she. FTR she and her husband paid for the wedding themselves and being that she is JUST like her dad she'd have never asked him for help.

When we were together, you said you'd die for me. Now, I think it's time you kept your promise.
