Ok, this may not be the correct board to post on but it does involve etiquette!

My best friend has recently got back together with her husband and I was party to the situation when it wasn't good.

Obviously I want her at my wedding, but her husband isn't really 'liked' by the families and can get quite obnoxious at times..

What do I do in this situation?  I really want her to be part of the wedding Undecided

    It sucks but you can't dictate who she brings as her guest.  I would just have a heart-to-heart w/ her beforehand and make sure she knows that his behavior has been an issue in the past and that as a friend, its her job to keep him in line at your wedding.

    That's one of the hard parts of knowing the details of someone else's marriage trouble.  If they're currently together, you must invite him.  Even if they were separated or divorced and you invited her with a plus one, you'd have to accept it if she chose to bring him.

    Also, if this helps, it probably was much easier for her to vent about problems than to discuss normal or good situations, and you've only heard her side of the story, so he's probably not as bad as you think.

    You have to invite her husband, despite your feelings for him. You don't get to pick who she chooses to date/marry, and it's rude of you to exclude her chosen partner.
