My father is an alcoholic, and on top of that, is wheel-chair ridden because of a series of strokes. I love him to death, and my mother is deceased, but with his issues of alcohol abuse (and since alcohol is being served at the reception), and his mental instability, should I have my father at my wedding? He can't get measured for a tux, he can't drive himself to the wedding, and would need a babysitter.
I also don't want to look like a complete b**** by not having him there, or going up to the staff at the reception hall and tell them, "Hey, you see that guy over there?? Don't serve him any alcohol!"
My brother said he would take him to the wedding, but, my brother's in the wedding party and it would be inconvenient for him to bring him and then have to take him back home immediately after the ceremony.
My father has disowned his side of the family and isn't on good terms with my mother's side.
What do you think? Can you think of any compromises?
Thanks for the help!
