Parents Want To Bring Throuple Partner To Estranged Daughter's Wedding

Now, at 27, OP admits that her parents have not been present throughout her life. Her father, 46, and mother, 56, left her with her grandparents, and visited once a month, if that. OP considers her grandparents to be her real parents.

OP is getting married in March, and her grandparents wanted her to invite her parents to the wedding. When she extended the invite, her father asked for a plus one. Confused, OP asked why, to which the father responded that they have a third member in their relationship -- a man in his 30s. OP refused to let this man come to her wedding, believing that their relationship would steal the spotlight.

The parents are angry, accusing their daughter of being prejudiced against polyamorous couples. OP insists that this is not the case; she simply doesn't want her parents using her wedding to "debut" their third wheel. OP has also been telling people why she won't give them a plus one, as her parents have been calling other relatives to complain.

Commenters argued that you shouldn't need to give a couple a plus one if they are being invited together.

A wedding isn't the appropriate time to introduce your child to a new partner. It would undoubtedly take most of the attention off the main event and call into question whether you actually respect the feelings of the betrothed.

No one took issue with the fact that the parents are in a polyamorous relationship. It's the fact that they want to get so much attention from the family that makes them wrong.

Commenters also agree that, as the bride, OP has the right to refuse guests.
