    Why would you list their relationship in the program?

    Ask her to be a reader or something. What do you mean by houseparty?

    Seriously, your father's family will get over it. If they start to cause a scene, tell your father to have them either calm down or leave. It's really that simple. There's no need for them to be rude about it.

    Any other job besides reader is a pity role and I wouldn't use it. Just carry on with business as usual and everyone else can deal with it.

    I don't see how her title would be anything other than "reader" in the program (unless you're listing how everyone else in the wedding is related to you, which most people don't) and if people wonder who she is, you can just say, "A very dear friend of the family" and leave it at that.  None of that would be a lie, and you wouldn't be treating her any differently than anyone else in the wedding.

    Ditto "Friend of the Bride," or just don't list the relationships at all. 
    This is a neglected planning bio.
    This is a belated married bio, with no reviews yet because I'm lazy.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

    brooke,  you really in SD now?

    I have another surgery scheduled for mid January with a 12 week recovery time, on crutches and brace.  When that's done, perhaps I will come to visit you.  I adore LaJolla and spring is great there!

    Reader sounds good. Maybe include her in a few family photos, if she's considered one of the family?

    There's no need to list her relationship to you in the program, or make mention of it.

    If you are listing everyone else's title in the program, you could put "Friend of the Smith Family" (that's how I would've labeled my sister's boyfriend if there was a need to do so in our program, so it's not like it's a "straight vs. gay" thing).

    If people see your sister and her GF together, and they raise a stink about it, tell them to STFU or get out. If they persist, have them escorted out and lock the door behind them.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: My sister's girlfriend : Did you read the OP?  She has a role in the wedding and wants to know how to list her in the program without outing her to half the guest list.

    <div>I read that she "would like to include her" but was unsure of how. I was not under the impression that the girlfriend already had a role in the wedding.</div><div>
    </div><div>Of course, if she's listed as a reader, it's completely unnecessary to identify her by anything besides "reader" and her name.</div>
