DF's half sister just began her first lesbian relationship about a week ago. She texted DF today to ask of she could bring a guest to our wedding. DF said "sure, who's the new fling?" her reply "well let's just say it's between two ladies." they text back and forth, he asks if her parents know. DF's father and his wife are devout mormons, this isn't gonna go over well... She says "nope but they'll find out at the wedding though lol"

Here's my thing... I don't care if she is a lesbian but my wedding day is not the time to tell her parents who are not going to take it well. Any other day I'd stand up to her parents and have her back but not on my wedding day...

I say she needs to come out before the wedding or not bring her GF. DF says its their business and we should stay out of it. I foresee drama...

WWYD? Tell her to come out before or not bring the GF OR just let it play out because it's their business?

    I think that's horribly rude, she knows its going to cause drama. Why would you purposely bring it to the wedding!

    Eta it meaning drama

    I'd probably ask her to tell her parents in advance so she doesn't give them a heart attack at the wedding

    I would just wait it out and see what happens. One can only hope they would have common sense and wait 'til after.

    I would tell her that your wedding is YOUR day and she can come out any other day.

    And if it doesn't work out this day I've been planning for over a year could be ruined.

    Quoting Momof3smoochies:

    Tell her if she wants to bring the gf she has to tell the entire family before your wedding. I would be livid if she did that at my wedding.

    How about she does this AFTER you get back from your honeymoon....and if she insist on coming to your wedding...not to bring the GF.

    That's really Selfish on her part. Tell her that if she wants to bring her date then she needs to make sure to introduce he parents to the idea pre-wedding!!! And not meeting for brunch before the ceremony either!
