Should I bring MY fiancé to my Daughters wedding?
My oldest Daughter is getting married. Her dad and I are divorced. The divorce happened when she was an adult. As the oldest. She is the trailblazer with regard to "family functions" such as College Graduation, weddings etc. and will probably be the first with Grandchildren etc.
We have spoken about the "awkward" part of inviting bother her Dad and I. I am and always have been, perfectly willing to be cordial and focus on our two beautiful children on such occasions.. it is NOT about me. Their Dad has not demonstrated the ability (to date) to look at it "this way".
I have responded to my Daughter that I will be at the wedding and will do everything in my power to help her enjoy this very special day. I have emphasized that it is HER and her Fiance's day and that she is not and never has been, responsible for myself or her Dad and that we both love her very much.
My question is this:
The invitations have NOT gone out yet, but I expect she is struggling with the idea of "invite my Mum and a guest" which would mean that I would bring my fiancé... or ask that I come alone. My fiancé is happy to come (he is very fond of my daughters and they seem fond of him) but will also understand if he is not invited... what DO people do these days? I cannot imagine I'm the only one in this predicament...
Thanks for any advice you can give.
