My future husband and I were friends with a another couple. Recently, the friendship between the wife and I has dissolved because she does not like my future husband. We invited him to our wedding since my future husband has been friends with him for a long time. The invitation was addressed to both of them. We received the response card back and both will be coming. I concerned that she is coming for the wrong reasons and wants to try to make our day stressful. I don't want to let her know that she is accomplishing her goal. I want to know the best way to handle her at our wedding reception. I want to be the one that approaches her. What should I say to her? How do I approach her? I don't want to be mean. I want to give her the impression that it does not bother me that she is there.
I think you've already answered your own question. Just do as you say here and act as if nothing is amiss. Be cordial since you did invite her. Who knows - maybe she got the message that she is welcome and things could be on the mend. Even if that is not the message you wanted to send, just be the bigger person and greet her as you would any other guest.
