Parents Not Attending Wedding.

That is tricky, i can understand why you would not attend, it makes sence to me, but i would be devistated if my mom didn`t come to my wedding. Maybe there is a way to come to a compromise. Perhaps if you asked her to move in with you until the wedding and possibley to go a little slower. And you can say that you won`t bad mouth him. She probably knows, but may need to be reminded that you love her and worry and you are willing to give him a chance if she will slow down and consider your feelings. Hope it works out for you.

I think you should remember that men come and go in life but family is forever. Everyone makes mistakes in life but don`t shut your daughter out or not attend her wedding just because he doesn`t meet your standards. I`m sure your dead right about his character and you have good reason for not liking him but don`t let this man come between you and your daughter. When or if the wedding fails or their relationdhip deteriorates who will she have to turn to if you shut her out now because of him. Remember she`s your daughter and your not going to like all of the decisions she makes in life but if you want to keep a relationship with her then you better accept her choices in life, besides she is an adult.

You must remember that the reason for attending a wedding is that you support the union and the commitment taking place. The union also means a marriage between 2 famlies and he is someone that I would not want as a friend, let alone in our family. If the event was celebration of someone joining a cult or another distastfull organization would you attend because the participants wanted you to? I do try to communticate to my daughter and told her that we were not going because we do not support the union, not because we don`t love her. Why would anyone support the union when they know that their child could be getting into a dangerous situation? Is that showing love for your child or just denial?

She is a grown woman and whether you support her marriage or not, it is her decision to make. Part of being a parent is allowing your child to make mistakes so that they can learn and grow from them. Whether you like it or not she is getting married and this man will be a part of your family. Attending the wedding doesn`t mean that you agree with her decision, just that you are being a loving father and supporting your daughter to make the choices in her life (good or bad) that will allow her to grow. Denying her your presence at her wedding because you don`t agree with her choice of partner is denying her the unconditional love and support that a parent should have for their child.

Sarah, I couldn`t have said it better myself. Darrel you are being quite bullheaded about this situation. Your daughter is not joing a cult, she is gettting married. Just go to show her that it is not about her wrong choices in life but the love you have for her. Come on life is too short to act this way. God forbid you or your daughter die tommorow and you were acting this way towards her. How would you like for her not to come to your funeral because you didn`t come to her wedding. You are being very stubborn and believe me when I say it will end up hurting you more in the long run than you could ever imagine.

Sounds like he is a big loozzeerrr. I feel sorry for your daugther. But, you should go and give her support so when the times comes, she will figure out all the mess she got into. Let her do it on her own. THen, you can just say, it`s your decision and will respect that. No matter what, You always be there for her when she needs you.

The more you put her down, the more she will stay living her life as is. Soo, time to back out and she will come out eventually. Hopefull soon.

Hope that helps
