Okay so long winded explanation here, but the question is whether I can cut a groomsman's girlfriend out of the wedding...

SO the groomsman was dating one of my former bridesmaids...they had been together for about 3 years. He cheated on her with his new girlfriend. My bridesmaid backed out of the wedding to not be around him and this girl - totally get it, she's a reader now. This woman is an instigator. The one time I met her, she wanted to take pictures of us together to send to my former bridesmaid - HER WORDS. I told her no. She has a meltdown. Throws a drink. I ignore and go home. The next time I see her is at a bar with friends. She is telling everyone I hate her and that she wants to fight me. As an attorney, I know better than to get involved so I decide to ignore, and move away from the situation. At this point she is pushing shots on everyone. About an hour later, I notice my future sister in law is missing and I go to look for her. She is passed out on the bathroom floor. Turns out new girlfriend went to the bathroom with future sister because future sister wasn't feeling well. Long story short, they had an exchange, and she thought it was funny that future sister passed out while throwing up and LEFT HER THERE. In the meantime, she tells someone, again, she wants to fight me and former bridesmaid.

I don't need to go into more detail here...do I?

I gave all the bridal party plus ones, however, I do NOT want her there for fear of her causing a scene. How would you all handle this? I fully expect the groomsman to back out if we inform him she is not welcome.

    I would take her off the guest list! My personal preference is to only invite people who my FH and I are close with and this includes plus one's unless someone is married than I would of course include their spouse or serious gf/bf. However, I definitely would NOT include someone who has disrespected me, my close friend or future sister in law. I'm sure my FH would agree. This is one of the most important days of your life so don't hesitate to uninvite toxic people who have threatened to fight you.

    I've dealt with people like this, there is no point in trying to "talk it out". They have their own agenda and if she's this adamant about behaving like this towards you the last thing she is probably willing to do is talk.

    You need to discuss this with your FH first and foremost because whatever decision you make should come from a united front.

    If it were me, i'd definitely tell the groomsman that she can't come because it's just going to cause drama all night and you don't want that. If he decides to drop out then that's his choice. But, i'm one of those people who has zero interest in dealing with people like that so my choice would be harsh.

    No questions asked this girl needs to go. She sounds cray cray, and if your groomsmen has a problem with it he can kiss you butt and not be in the wedding 🤷🏼‍♀️

    She doesn't deserve to be there PERIOD. Your fiancee should tell his friend that and why, and if the groomsman backs out it sucks but from the sound of it he's no prize. I say cut her out of the guest list. I would without a second thought. I'm to old for drama and games. She is not your friend, has proven that more than once, and I get the feeling she'll do something to disrupt your wedding if she is there.

    WHAT?! As grown adults, this is actually the most absurd thing I have heard. It is YOUR special day and you have every right to no accept this girl's presence there. Talk to the groomsmen about ti and if he doesn't understand, then would you want him standing up there anyways? BYE HONEY.
