So, no, I'm not being prissy or throwing a fit about stupid wedding details. Basically, my stepfather is an ass that abused my older sister and I all throughout our childhood. Up until now, he has maintained that he would not be at the wedding. Fine by me, my mother was going to ride with one of my younger sisters. Today, however, she texts me, and says "we will all be coming to the wedding, including Jerry. We will not be staying for the reception though." I'm hurt and pissed, because for 1, I've already paid for all of their meals, I was going to have the parents sit at a "parent table" with the officiants, and those are just the practical reasons. We won't even touch how much it hurts to know that she can't stand up to him enough to even stay to eat dinner. Then there is the issue of the actual ceremony. We are having a very family/community centered wedding, and are passing our rings around in a locked jewelry box for our guests to bless. I don't want the jackass touching my rings! I don't want him putting his negativity towards me, and it's not about me believing in voodoo or whatever. (I don't) Anyways...I'm really considering uninviting them. I already know how it will go. They will show up late, and sit in the back instead of sitting up front. Jerry will glare, and grimace, refuse to pose for any pictures, and will ignore anyone who tries to talk him, and then they will leave as soon as the ceremony is over, without stopping to say hi, bye, or kiss my asss to anyone. I don't want that. For what it's worth, I know it seems like I'm being overly dramatic, and that normal human beings wouldn't act this way, but this is the man that refused to get in the car to drive me to school, making me so consistently late that I was suspended. Anyways, what would you ladies do?
