Sister and FH both left their spouses to get married.
His second marriage, her third. There are young children involved in both. This has been so hard on our family and we were so relieved when they had mentioned going to Vegas to tie the knot. Now my sister tells us that her FH has changed his mind, so they are planning a wedding instead and would like both families to be involved. My sister has only been divorced 6 months. My parents are against it under the circumstances, but they do not know if they should protest. So they turned to me for advice...and I am turning to you. Any ideas?
Thanks for any advice you can offer.

My sister wants my dad to walk her down the aisle and all of the other traditions associated with a formal wedding; although, she and her FH will be paying for it. My parents would rather they elope under the circumstances of their relationship. Do you think they should be honest with her about how they feel and encourage her to elope?

Your sister is entitled to have whatever wedding she wants (as long as it is legal), but your parents don't have to approve, participate or pay. I'm always on the side of honesty. They should let her know how they feel. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

I see your point. It is not okay to encourage her to elope as she can have the wedding she wants. But they should tell her how they feel about participating in the wedding. Then it is up to her if she continues with the traditional wedding or not. The wedding will be legal as both are recently divorced. It is the moral issues my parents are struggling with.
