Dad Brought Narcissist StepMom To My Wedding Despite Telling Him Not To , Now Surprised We Did This.

[@lindawoods8125]

I would have apologized to my guests telling them that they would be a temporary hold up. Then I would have called the police and had my dad and stepmom removed.

[@patriciahughes4213]

Exactly. There would have been a change. My mother would have been asked to walk me down the aisle. The moment daddy dearest smirked his butt and his wife's butt would have been tossed. It would have been epic. Also would have asked the wedding photographer to capture the police escorting them out.

So how messed up is it that OP had already forgiven dad years ago? OP’s own behavior is obscene.

[@SapphWolf]

​@@Jasonfallen71 It's natural for children of abusive parents to want to try and convince their parent to love them enough to not hurt them anymore. It's counter productive, and she should have kicked him to the curb with monster-in-law when she turned 18, but it's understandable behavior.

I would have called the police to remove them both and disowned my father. I would have contacted the leadership of my Church and started the process to have him excommunicated from the Church for allowing the abuse. I would have gone full scorched Earth. And postponed the wedding to another day. To Hell with anyone inviting other than just the close friends and family who support me and my partner.

[@naturalPaths]

If I resisted the urge to have him and his wife removed by the police, I’d have asked my FIL to walk me down the aisle. That nasty couple would Definitly have been excluded from the reception, police as necessary.

[@reneecoop6103]

OP got what she deserved because ain’t no way these events should have happened. First of all if that women showed up 30min prior no one thought to call the police 🤔 matter of fact nobody stoped her from even walking through the got damn door! And secondly you still allowed this men who constantly disrespect you and will choose his wife over you to walk you down the isle. Let bffr it’s ok to forgive but NEVER forget he shouldn’t even had an role in the wedding to begin with. Then you allowed them to go to the reception afterwards! Like I can’t feel sorry for OP.

[@annkupke4263]

That is why I am not inviting my youngest sister. She was very rude to my fiancée when I brought him to meet my youngest sister. Many, many years, I have helped her out never said anything rude to her kids or her nor her boyfriends. In fact she got married to some guy just so she could get my niece to live with her. My younger brother was sick and second wife had a record so he could not get his daughter. Her mother lost custody. My younger sister and that husband got divorced so she been divorced twice.

But I am a petty person. I did have a piece of crap at my wedding and I warned all my cousins not to dance with him unless they wanted to treat the family with basically se* on the dance floor.

Sounds like you should go no contact with father and stepmother, try every way possible to stay in contact with your half-brother, he could be a good egg.

I would have had a announcement made that the wedding would be delayed for at least 30 minutes while waiting for the 0olice ti arrive as there were a couple people that needed to be removed and escorted out. 1 unwanted/uninvited guest and 1 who was not an invited guest. Then had mom walk me down the aisle.

[@stacykeirstead8121]

This actually gave me ideas for my own wedding. My fiance's father is an abusive nightmare and addiction has ruined his brain. Addiction is a serious medical issue and I'd look past it and want to help him if it wasn't for the years of mental and verbal abuse my fiance dealt with from childhood and adulthood. We are completely no-contact but I've decided I will have security at my wedding, either professional or some large family members to keep a lookout

I was a guest at a Tex-Mex wedding in Texas and an aunt of the bride showed up in a white dress. The groomsmen and bridesmaids huddled together and then spread out to talk to a bunch of children. Moments later the kids rushed back into the church with mud on their hands and ran up to the "aunt" to hug her. No more white dress. haha, got to love Texas.

[@MsArtistwannabe]

My daughters niece had a good sized wedding. Her niece did not invite her or her grandparents on her dads side. She didn’t even want her own dad there but her mom said they wouldn’t be hosting the wedding if she didn’t. My daughter was a bit hurt because they did a lot together and saw each other regularly. Omg, the grandparents were really upset. But I know why grandpa wasn’t invited. He’s a total jerk.

[@Swnsasy]

Why? You didn't say why they weren't invited if they were so close?

My biological mother refused to attend my wedding due to her jealousy of my stepmother. Even my own younger sister did not attend yet she was supposed to be an attendant like I was at her marriage.

So because she doesn't know how to shut her mouth and be polite she is not invited or she can attend but she will not be bridal participate

I didn't lose respect, because I was once like OP in some ways.

I just knew he would come to my college graduation, because that was big deal right, but no. None of my family from his side came, and my college was just down the street from his family home! It took me that long to realize that my dad didn't deserve that title. My stepdad, the man that paid for my college education had been my real dad since I was 12. It also turned out my stepmom had kept my dad from me and my brother, but it wasn't like she had taken him by physical force to keep him away. He just didn't care enough.

I’m glad you asked. Sometimes undesirable behaviors persist because people allow them to do so. When you worry about pleasing other people, you’ll always be plagued with disappointment & frustration. I would’ve let my father & his elderly harpy know that they weren’t invited to the wedding and reception. If they had another moment of total insanity & defied me, the consequences would be swift. They’d be removed by Law Enforcement as quickly as they came. If this offended people, they could follow in behind them. I would’ve posted men at the doors to make sure they wouldn’t get in. Her father never chose his daughter. If that were me, I’d embrace his decision & cease all contact with him. I honor the choices people make for themselves. In return, the have no choice but to honor mine. I don’t tolerate drama. People need to understand that they cannot change other people. We can only do so for ourselves.
