[quote=Anonymous]She needs to at least make an appearance. I was young when my dad remarried- he just eloped with his long term girlfriend then let us know that he was married. I resent, to this day, that he didn't think his children were important enough to be present at his wedding. It also permanently damaged my relationship with my step mom because I feel like if *I* married someone with kids from a previous marriage, I would make it a huge priority to include them and make them feel very central to our lives. I think your DD doesn't need to know that her presence isn't a big priority for her dad (timing, not being a part of the wedding, etc. as you point out). She needs to feel important and included, whether it's reality or not- even if she doesn't remember the event, she will remember that she was there. It can cause immense negative feelings toward you, her dad and her stepmom when she knows she wasn't there. [/quote]
