I'm the groom for the wedding, but my parents are divorced and both have remarried since their split 20+ years ago. This hasn't really been an issue, until wedding planning. My father has been fighting me every step of the way, and my step-father is taking the "whatever makes you happy" route. Needless to say, it's nerve recking.
I love my biological father very much, he is and always will be my dad, but he's refusing to rent a tux for the wedding. I have seen every possible ettequite I could find, showing that he doesn't HAVE to wear a tux, but if the brides father is wearing one than so should he.
It was brought to my attention tonight by him that my stepfather shouldn't wear one so that he doesn't "show up" the bio father, but I disagree with that.
My fiance has never been able to get along with my bio father because he only does anything for himself and is at this point, after several major bumps in the road with him, ready to keep him out of the bridal party because he himself stated that he is "not a part of the wedding." I don't want to hurt anyone, but don't know what to do.
