I was asked 3 mos ago to escort my neighbor to her daughter's wedding at a United Methodist Church. I have known the family about 5 years and the Mom - so I accepted. The Mom has been divorced for 19 years, and I am not involved with the Mom - simply a friend. The day of the wedding, in fact 65 minutes before the event, I received a text message from the Mom saying there was change of plans, and that her two sons were to escort her to the pew, but that I could walk behind them. I wrote back and said that wasn't acceptable. I choose not to attend. Subsequent to the event, the Mom claims that her daughter, the son in law - or the son in laws family had no say in the matter, but that the ministers wife said it was not customary for a friend to escort the Mom. The Mom is irritated with me for "not supporting her" on her daughter's wedding day - but I say "sorry, my committment was to escort you." Personally, I have never heard of such a thing. Any takers?
