Brother Just Reconciled with Wife 1 Week Before Wedding...Seating Woes

Thank you for your feedback! Taking your advice and deleting original post. I'd hate to cause MORE family drama!

She should be seated with her husband, your brother, as he may be the only person garunteed to enjoy her company.   I think it'd be easier to re-do the seating chart so that they fit together, than to create drama by sitting the black sheep at a table of people who you think isn't going to like her anyway.  If she's coming, then you are hosting her as a guest.  It's kinda crummy that their decision a week before your wedding adds extra stress for you, but the best way to keep the peace is to keep them together.

seat her with your brother.  It does not have to be with your mother, but they need to be sat together.

This NOT about being nice to her, you can dislike her all you want.  This is about being supportive to you brother.  He decided to get back with her, you need to respect that and not take a stance and separate them.     

How would you feel if your own brother separated you from your husband?

Completely agree with the previous two posters. Your brother reconciled with her you don't have to like it, but you should respect it.

You most definitely have to let her come to the wedding and you should not separate your brother and his wife.  If you truly cannot seat them with your parents because they don't get along with her (and they can't suck it up for the hour and a half that will be dinner), can you swap them out for an aunt and uncle or some other couple you are close to?

Okay, taking your advice! Going to re-do things and have escort cards re-printed. Ugh.
