I am getting married in June and would really like to have my Step father involved.?


Question: However I really don't want to have my fathers wife involved. If I could I wouldn't even have her their, how do I do this without starting a family war.
Answers: Have both your dads walk you down the isle. Then have your birthparents light your candle so that it is lite when you and new hubby go to light your unity candle.
It is going to start a battle. You really can't invite him and not her. This type of invatation would cause some major rifts between you and her. But like Abbey might say,
It is your wedding.
Just plan the wedding you want and involve the people you love and respect. If your step-mother is so immature that she can't see the problems in your relationship, isn't that her problem?

I'd talk to your dad and explain the situation first, before I invited the step-father to participate. Let *him* feel out the situation with his wife and go from there.

It's supposed to be *your* day and most mature people will recognize that and, if their feelings are hurt, attempt to work on their relationship with you, not get all hung up on it.

Good Luck!
talk to everyone involved and explain your feelings. remember this is your day! so celebrate it the way you want. just let them down gently.
It is your day, and you do what you feel is right. If you want your step-dad involved, but not your Fathers wife then so be it.
I like the one girls answer, Have both the fathers walk you down the aisle.
When the minister (or priest) asks who gives this woman to be married, have all of them (step mom included) say we do . That gets her involved but not in a big way.
You can have your step father involved any way you want.
It is your day!!!!
