[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter's wedding is end of August. I'm a father-of-the-bride who doesn't want to attend his own daughter's wedding. They've been living together for over five years. What are they celebrating? Just sign the paperwork. The groom-to-be is a former frat boy who wants a six-figure bachelor party. It's selfish of them to drag me out of staying at home. I'm 74 years old going on 75.[/quote]

Ouch, sorry. That really sucks. You should definitely stay home and ignore any guilt-tripping you might receive.

That said, there's a TON of judgement in your post that has nothing to do with COVID. If I were you, I would make sure you just stick to the facts when you decline (we're in the middle of a pandemic, you're in a high-risk group) and avoid mentioning [b]anything about the wedding, the groom, or the bachelor part[/b]y. You'll just alienate your daughter further and will not win over any converts.[/quote]

And the 5-year cohabitation[/quote]
