Hello all,
I've still got a long way to go for my wedding but me and the OH have been planning our seating arrangements and I've decided that I don't want my father on the main table. I don't have the closest relationship with him, not since him and my mum split when I was 7; 25 years ago. (In fact he doesn't even know I'm getting married yet). I see him a few times a year and the amount of times he's seen my 4 year old son I can count on two hands. When I told my mother this she kind of freaked out about it saying it was disrespectful. My OH whilst respectful of my decision and will back me slightly agrees with my mum. I know my dad is not the most forthcoming person and needs to be pushed otherwise he'd just end up a hermit. But for me having him there on the main table with me feels like a sham as I see that table reserved for people that have had an important role in our lifes. (Both my OH parents will be there as will my mum and the usual suspects).
I just want to know whether you think i'm being too harsh by not having him there. I mean he's getting an invite and he should just be happy to be there.
