[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you don't sound like your family is the right group for a destination wedding. [b]Even if OW doesn't go, you'll be on vacation with your freshly-divorced parents.[/b]  Why would you want that? It's begging for more intense drama and will also make you more responsible for your devastated mom, who will be out of her element and not even have friends with her.

With a family like yours, you're better off not traveling all together.

I 100% agree. Even if OW doesn't come, a small destination wedding with both your mom and your dad will probably be highly uncomfortable for everyone.
If your wedding were bigger, there would be a buffer, and if it were local, it would be easier on your parents. I don't think you need to elope - it doesn't have to be small destination wedding or nothing. I would rethink your plan. As PP said, honeymoon in your dream destination.

+1000.

I'm an earlier poster who ended up inviting the boyfriend and all was fine. But our wedding was local and large enough to provide a lot of buffer. My parents were able to have their friends and extended family there that they don't see very often, so that helped pull their focus off each other. I don't know how I would have handled a small destination wedding. That's asking a lot of everyone involved (and would have definitely stressed me out!).

I'm curious to hear how the talk with your step mom went. [/quote]
