OK help on this etiquette question!! Complicated sitatuation..
I am very close to my MOH's mother, whom I've known for almost 20 yrs. My MOH is not close at all to her father, whom I know has emotionally and physically abused both her and her mom. Her father and mother are still married and live together.
Originally - because of our small guest list - I had not invited either of her parents. However, my MOH has asked whether her mom is going to be invited and her Mom really wants to come and help for the wedding in some way. She kind of put in a "polite request" (not awkward at all) for her mom's invitation. Of course I would love her to be there for my special day.
Here's the question - Must I invite her father too when I was propositioned like this?
