Guest bringing a plus one that may cause drama?

I've had a pretty chill wedding planning experience but I've finally hit a stumbling block and I'm stumped.

I only gave one guest at my wedding a plus one.  He's an old friend who lives out of the area now and doesn't know any of my new friends so I thought I'd let him bring a date if he wanted so he could feel a little more comfortable.  Problem is, the date he just RSVP'd with is my MOH's old roommate and things did NOT end well with them.  This girl broke her lease with my MOH and things got really nasty.  If she was my friend's girlfriend I would tell my MOH to deal with it, but she's not... she's his cousin.  I'm torn.  My preference would be to ask him to choose a different date but I feel like that's pretty crappy.  Any advice?

    You gave him a plus one. You cannot dictate who he brings because that gave him the right to choose anyone. Surely these people are all adults and thus capable of being civil for the few minutes they might actually be in close contact at the reception.

    I'm mesmerized by the cuteness of that gif.

    And I also agree with artbyallie.  Let your MOH know and tell her to keep her shit together.  Have a couple other members of the bridal party on the alert for drama and don't hesitate to remove people if they cannot control themselves for one night (the former roommate OR your MOH).

    are these people grown adults, or are they teenagers on an MTV special and cannot control themselves?

    I'm not concerned about my MOH's behavior at all.  I talked to her about it today.  I just want her to be able to celebrate freely without feeling like there's an enemy there. 

     

    I'm going to just leave it be.  But I may talk to my guest about it.  It just feels kind of uncool and inconsiderate that he would want to bring her as a date even though he knows who is in my bridal party and what went down.

    why not make it fun?

    you could do the "beat it" video where the moh and guest play the gang members and you play michael jackson.

    Really not appropriate and that's not leaving it be.

    They're adults, you gave him a plus one, this is who he chose. I understand that it is your best friend who has been wronged by someone, but it's not as if this girl broke up her marriage. I'm sure they're mature enough to handle it.
