I see no problem with it. They have to expect you to move on. I wouldn't be hanging all over this man or anything but I'm sure you wouldn't anyway.

Does your invitation say "name" and guest or just your name? If it has your name, then you may need to reconsider bringing a date or ask your niece. Since you are widowed and your family has not met this man yet, the bride and groom probably did not anticipate you bringing a guest when they decided on the guest list. You should make sure first, in order to avoid any problems with the # of meals served and the seating arranging. A simple phone call should solve the problem.

Your husband would want you to be happy, so bring a date. Or ask his niece what she thinks. Two years is a long time to be a widow.

I wouldn't hide it but unless the invite said and guest it is unacceptable to invite someone if it said and guest then you could bring someone but being that this is your husband's family is really not appropriate they may be a little shocked that in two years you were able to move on they may not think that is long enough and be a little offended that at an event for his side of the family you bring a new boyfriend but you know them better then we do.

I'd say after 2 years is fine to bring a date but be sure to tell them he's coming so they can have enough food and seats for everyone I hate weddings where they invite people and don't allow them to bring dates its so boring just to sit with people and talk about nothing and not have a dance partner

Well the person you would need to ask is the bride. Most people when sending out invitations to people who are single usually put your name "and guest" on the invitation. If you are close with this girl I am sure she will be happy that you have moved on found someone else. Just get her alone and fill her in on the situation. I am sure you are worrying about nothing.

obviously you won't remain single for the rest of your life right, i mean you have feelings too, you respected your husband for 2 years and i'm sure that he would want to see you happy and moving on with your life, my advise is yes its' ok to have a date but keep it casual for jus that day, don't make too much of a scene, later on in life it's ok but as it's the first time take it slowly, it's what i would do remember you are taking him where you in laws will be also so try to keep it friendly best of luck

I wouldnt it would bring up unneccesary drama and whispers. This is your late husbands family why MUST you have a date. Go by yourself or with a female friend or a child if you have one. Dont bring up a sore subject to these people on such a beautiful day.

It is fine if your invitation is for two. I would just call your in-laws and your niece just as a heads up to let them know ahead of time so there is less drama and gossip. They should be fine with it.
Good Luck!

As long as you know before the wedding that this is going to be ok with his family. It's not fair to the bride and groom to have a distraction or drama on their special day.
