My FI and I are just getting started with the planning. We believe we have a venue (yay!!) which everyone has said was the first step. We have recently been talking about the guest list.. A couple has come into question that I feel should be invited, I have known them since I was 5, the husband is now my boss and mentor. He has been amazing at helping me get my foot in the door for my career. Unfortunately there was some drama between him and my future Father in law. They no longer speak after being friends for about 10 years. When the FI and I were talking I mentioned I felt it important to invite them knowing what had happened, he agreed and said if it is important to you than I am ok. The future father in law has recently told my FI that he would rather have someone who is not invited do to a different falling out than this couple. He did say he would be ok if they came he is an adult and would just focus on us.... But if he didn't come then he wouldn't have anything to worry about. I am torn about what to do, I feel strongly they should be invited but don't want to ruffle any feathers with my future in laws or my FI. He stands by his dad, and also has ill feelings about this couple because of that happened with his dad but has said if I believe they are that important then they should be invited. Should I just take that as it is and stop over thinking the situation? Any advice on the subject would be greatly appreciated. I knew the guest list would be difficult but I didn't realize it would hit this fast.
