Ask Amy: The bride has a ridiculous reason for barring this man from the wedding

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:54:45 GMT

Dear Amy: I never thought I would be coping with some silly wedding drama, but our daughter (out of state) is planning her wedding, and she would like to exclude one uncle (my sister’s husband) from attending.My sister and her husband are the only relatives who have actually visited with my daughter and her fiancé.As per my daughter, this uncle has not offended them personally; however, they fear that he has strong views, and that if he drinks he may say something upsetting to their guests.I know this exclusion will cause a lot of confusion and pain. My daughter will invite other aunts and uncles as couples.Although my husband and I are giving a substantial gift which will likely cover the wedding costs, we are not directly paying for the wedding, so this is not our decision.I am open to your advice. Sad MomDear Sad Mom: Your daughter need only read through any one of a thousand wedding advice sites, peruse her local bookstore’s wedding section, or – better yet – explore her o...
