Someone Always Causes Issues At A Wedding
I don’t think it’s possible to have a wedding without some major incident or family drama going down…correct me if I’m wrong.
This Woman’s Sister Got Married, And There Definitely Was Drama
This woman says her uninvited cheating father showed up with his new family at her sister’s wedding after abandoning them, so she refused to let them all in.
Her Dad Left Their Family When She And Her Sister Were Teens
She explained that her dad ended up leaving their family after he met his now-wife when she was 13-years-old and her sister was 17-years-old.
He Left To Be With Another Woman After Cheating On Their Mom
He left them all so that he could be with this other woman, and he packed up to move in with her 2 hours away from them.
She Didn’t See Her Dad Much After That
She feels he literally walked out on their family, and she ended up only seeing him every other weekend for the rest of her childhood.
She Felt Her Dad Abandoned Her
She felt abandoned, and she suffered from bullying and slipping grades as she grew up. She wishes she could have been there more for her, but he wasn’t.
She Doesn’t Blame Parents For Getting Divorced For Certain Reasons
“I’m not blaming parents who get divorced. People get divorced for legitimate reasons. (Abuse, miserable marriage, getting cheated on, etc.),” she said.
But Her Dad Cheated And Walked Away
“He left because he was cheating. He could have fought for 50% custody, but he didn’t because it was too inconvenient.”
She Felt Unstable After Her Dad Left
“I also hated those visitations. I needed stability during that time, and I felt really unsafe and insecure. We had to move out of the house where I lived my whole life.”
Then Her Dad Stopped Coming To See Her
When she was 16, her dad stopped coming at all. She did not feel comfortable going to his house because she absolutely hated seeing him with his new wife.
Her Sister Also Couldn’t Find It In Her Heart To Forgive Their Dad
Her sister never forgave him, and she did not see him after running into him in court 12 years ago.
When Her Sister Got Married, She Did All The Planning
Anyway, her sister tied the knot not too long ago, and she was put in charge of the entire wedding. The entire thing was huge since her brother-in-law is from a very prominent family.

The shocking part of this is that her dad just showed up to the wedding without telling anyone and with his wife and 3 young children with him.

When she found out he was standing outside, she ran all the way to the front door, trying to deal quietly with everything before their family and her sister knew what was going on.
She Was Worried Her Sister’s Wedding Would Be Ruined
She was concerned this was going to ruin her sister’s special day and cause her mom to be upset in the process.
Her Sister’s Former Best Friend Secretly Invited Her Dad
“It turned out that my sister’s former best friend/stepcousin ‘Dorothy’ contacted our father and gave him a fake story about how my sister really wanted him back in her life and that the only reason she didn’t send him an official invite was because of our mother,” she revealed.
And Told Him A Crazy, Fake Story
Dorothy apparently told their dad that her sister failed to tell him herself because their mom watches her emails and phone calls.
Her Dad Believed The Whole Story
This is obviously the craziest fake story, but her dad bought it, and Dorothy said she was told by her sister to send the invite to him.
She Had To Tell Her Dad It Was All A Lie
To say this entire thing was awkward was an understatement. She told her dad that Dorothy got into a blow-out fight with his sister a month before the wedding, and her sister cut all contact with Dorothy over it.
Her Dad Realized He Was A Pawn To Ruin Her Sister’s Special Day
“It finally dawned on him that he was used as a pawn to ruin my sister’s wedding,” she continued.
It Broke Her Dad’s Heart To Hear The Truth
