How should I handle my daughters future father in law at the wedding?

December 20th, 2010

I am doing all of the planning for my daughter upcoming wedding. Her future father in laws is giving them fits because he thinks they should wait until they finish college to get married. He has even tried to bribe them with his money. (which I might add, is loaded to the max) He has went as far as to tell my daughters future husband that he will be cut from his will if he gets married now. He is telling everyone that he is embarrassed about this ‘whole ordeal’ Frankly, he is driving everyone nuts!!! He is only mad because he can no longer ‘control’ his son and make him do what he wants him to do. He will not give us an invitation list for us to send to his side of the family, he says he will not attend the rehearsal nor pay for it he also says that when the minister asks if anyone has any objections that HIS mother may have something to say!! I understand him wanting them to wait until after college to marry, but that discussion has been over for quite some time now. They are determined and quite able to handle themselves on their own. I am thinking about hiring a security guard for the wedding and reception and dare anyone to say a harsh word to my daughter on her wedding day. I don’t want to have to ask anyone to leave, especially the Father or the Grandmother of the Groom, but if they decide to make a scene, I will have to. My future son in law is aware of this decision and feels really bad that we have to worry about such things on what should be a joyous event. Oddly enough, his ex-wife, the grooms mother, is all for it and is in the process of buying them a house! Does anyone have any suggestions as to what any of us should do. Do you think I am being to harsh myself? I just don’t want anything or anybody to ruin my daughters wedding day!
