What to do?

My family is not for us getting married and My father passed away in 2001 and I asked my mom if she would give me away and her reply is "will you give your sister away and he said If I am there". What should i do tell them I am not getting married and go be hind there back or just have them come the wedding anyway. This is my first and only marriage and I thought family is suppose to be happy for us. What would you do?

Would they change their life and/or decisions to please you? I don't think anybody would. If they did, it wouldn't be for long. You need to think about what makes YOU and YOUR bride happy. They will come around and if not, they will regret it in the long run. As far as inviting them, I would. Then in the future, they can't say that you didn't and that's why they didn't come. Sorry if that sounds blunt but it is the hard core truth.; ▶ Reply to This
