AITA for not wanting to invite my dad’s new fiance to our wedding?

I am getting married in a few months in a very intimate setting with fewer than 75 guests.

Both sets of our parents are divorced and single.

At the start of our wedding planning, we agreed that none of the parents would have a plus-one.

None of them were in a relationship at the time.

This man met his dad’s new girlfriend.

About four months ago, after our guest list was finalized and save-the-dates were mailed, my dad started dating someone.

The day we met his new girlfriend, he asked if she could attend as his plus-one.

He also offered us $50. That is only a fraction of the cost per person.

We told him that at that time, we were not sure if we could accommodate her.

RSVPs had not been confirmed yet.

His dad asked again if he could bring his girlfriend to the wedding.

A few weeks later, he asked again. We gave him the same answer.

Things were quiet for a while, so we assumed he was respecting our decision.

However, a few weeks ago, his girlfriend texted my fiancée.

She asked what color she should wear to the wedding.

He and her fiancée were shocked.

We were shocked.

We sent a polite reply reiterating that we still did not know if she could attend.

This was because the guest list remained unconfirmed.

She never replied, but my dad texted me days later.

He said he did not want to create drama, but he really wanted her there.

We repeated the same stance. He simply said, “Okay.”

He then learned that his dad and his girlfriend are now engaged.

Then about a week later, he sent me a photo of her hand with an engagement ring.

He included the message, “I did a thing.”

For perspective, they have been together for a maximum of four months.

If they do marry, this will be his third marriage.

AITA for still not wanting a near-stranger at our intimate wedding?

Finally, sounds weird to me, says this one.

Some decisions don’t change just because the status of the relationships does.
