So here is the deal... My parents are still married but have been illegally separated for atleast 8 years. During that time period my dad has been in a steady relationship with the same woman. I am getting married next year and my mother has made it clear that his Girlfriend is not family and she has to know her place (ie. she has no place) in the wedding. She has in fact given me a list...
-She is not to be recognized or walk down the aisle at the ceremony
-She is not allowed at the rehearsal dinner
-She is not allowed to sit at the same table as the parents during the reception
I am really at a loss. I never planned to recognize her in any way in the first place, however; I think it is a bit overkill for her to have to sit at a separate table or to be excluded from the dinner but thee last thing I need to think about on my wedding day is a confrontation. What to do?
