Ex Step Daughter and the Wedding

The Future Mrs. Gierman, on July 7, 2014 at 11:42 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 12

I am so thrilled that my 21 year old step daughter.. (I refuse to call her my ex step daughter. She did nothing wrong) will be coming to the wedding. I am being demanding for once in the wedding. I am going to demand that she sit in the family row with my 19 year old daughter and my sister and I am going to demand that she sit at the family table at our reception. Does anything thing this is strange or wrong?

    No - as long as she is comfortable with it I think its a nice gesture.

    Not strange or wrong at all. Even if you're not still married to her father, she was/is your step-daughter. To me, that's family. :-)

    I see nothing wrong with it, especially if you have a good relationship with her. Like you said, you divorced her dad, not her and think its a wonderful thing that you are still able to maintain a relationship with her

    My FH's ex-daughter is helping put together our reception. Not weird at all. He raised her and her brother and they still call him Dad.

    I think that is awesome. I agree with you that just because your no longer in her fathers life, it does not mean you are no longer in hers.

    @Antoinette - My ex husband and his family were in my daughters life since she was five. We divorced when she was seventeen. They do not even acknowledge her in public and she is so devastated. I can't imagine not having a relationship with Kat.

    My ex husband doesn't even speak to his own daughter. I love his daughter like she were my own flesh and blood. I am paying for her hotel room that night and want to honor her as if she were my own kid.

    I think it is great! My exs daughter is in my wedding. You can divorce an adult but not the kids.

    Not wrong at all! Good for you! When you make a commitment to someone you make a commitment to their kids as well. Even though it didn't work out with your ex husband (for what i am sure are good reasons) It's awesome you are still honoring your commitment to his daughter and still see her as part of the family.

    Nothing wrong with that. My "ex" step daughter, who I raised came to my wedding and brought her baby. I sat her at my Dad's table with the rest of my close family.

    Nothing wrong with that at all. My ex-step mother is sitting in the family row for the same reason.
