I am stepmum to the bride. I found out today that my husband will be going to the wedding venue with the bridal party and his ex wife to do photos etc before the wedding in the late morning and he will stay at the venue till the ceremony at 3pm. I will have to find my own way with other guests to the venue. I feel a bit slighted that I am not being asked to join in for the formal photos at any stage. My husband and I have been together for 10 years. I am trying not to take it personally but I need to know this is normal otherwise I will get upset. My husband is not on speaking terms with his ex wife and Ii don't talk to her either as we have had many issues with her in the past due to her alcoholism. I don't want to make it about me as it is my stepdaughter's day with her husband and I get on well with my stepdaughter. I just don't understand why it has to be for such a big amount of time. I would have thought we would to to the venue together. Anyway, am I being paranoid? Thoughts please?
