Not Welcome to the Wedding
Coffey Talk, with Relationship Expert Lissa Coffey
A Sweet Connection Member is Afraid of a Wedding Crasher and asks Relationship Expert Lissa Coffey for advice.
“How does my daughter tell her father (adoptive) that he is not welcome to her wedding and how do we do get him to leave if he finds out where it is and crashes it? Should she even tell him at all?”
Dear Worried About Wedding:
Things must be pretty bad with the relationship if it has gotten to this point. I vote for some kind of intervention, with the intention of healing the rift so that this is not a huge issue. But I don't know the details of the situation and it may be too late for that. If your daughter does not want to invite her father she should just not send him an invitation. If their relationship is this bad, they're probably not talking. How would he find out about it besides from her? If there are other relatives invited who feel he should be there, they should be told that he is not welcome so that they don't spill the beans. Explain that these are your daughter's wishes and that they need to honor them. If you think it's a real possibility that this man may crash the wedding and cause a scene, hire a security guard to stand at the entrance.
Love,
~ Lissa
