My Dad is a painful memory of my past. Do I invite him to my wedding ?

magerrima asked:


My father is an alcoholic person who only brought pain and sadness to our family. My parents had an awful divorce 10 years ago. My brother lives with my dad, so if I invite only him, he won’t go because of my father. If I don’t invite neither my brother nor my dad, my mom won’t go because of my brother.
However, my mom already said that she will not sit on the same table as my dad, in case he’s invited.

This is so confusing ! Please help !

Another point to consider is that I decided that I will walk down the aisle by myself. If he’s invited and goes to the party, he will be for me just like any other guest. It sounds bitter, but even 10 years later I can barely look at his face. In the other hand I’d be self conscious if I don’t invite him at all to my wedding.

Am I contradicting myself ? Did anybody go through a similar situation ?
This has been harder to decide than the gown of my dreams !

My dad wants to give me money for our wedding?

Thriftmaster asked:


my fiance and i are paying for everything ourselves and i wouldn’t dream of asking my parents for a dime. however, my dad told me last night that he wanted to give me 1,000 dollars in february for my honeymoon. The thing is, i really want to use that money on the catering since we’re just going to the beach for a few days for our honey moon and that won’t cost too much. so two questions:

1. do you think he’ll mind that i spend it on something else? should i even bother to tell him?

2. the wedding is in June. Should february be early enough to pay for the catering? i would say yes, but i have never worked with a caterer before. we know who we want, but i haven’t met with her yet.

thanks!
total: i’m not trying to “deceive him”. honestly, i really don’t think its a huge deal.

SMALL and CHEAP wedding ideas?

We want to get married on a beach with just 10 or so people, but all the wedding planning books and sites I’ve found are for big weddings… we want to keep it really simple and intimate and I’m having a hard time thinking of things that we could do for a reception, and ways to make the ceremony special (but not cheesy). We will probably be getting married on a small island with his dad presiding, and I don’t really want to deal with bridal parties and showers. Does anyone have any ideas or know of sites that could help us figure things out?

I’m getting married but my mom refuses to pay for it?

Nola is nice (trust me!) asked:


What do I do now? She doesn’t want me to marry my fiance because he doesn’t have a good enough job. So She says she won’t pay for the wedding yet I know she has the money for me to have my dream wedding because when my dad died she got a lot of money from his insurance policy and put some in a savings bond a long time ago and said it was for my wedding one day. I know it still exists because I’ve seen it but she won’t let me use it. And I know legally I can’t get it because my name is nowhere on it. But I was really depending on her to pay for the wedding because I really can’t afford a big wedding since I’m a senior in college and I graduate in May and I was planning on getting married in June or July. I offered to let her pay for it and I’ll pay her back but she said no because she doesn’t want me marrying him and thinks I should consider someone more well off! What am I going to do? Right now, I can’t even afford to buy a dress!
