Friends on groom’s guest list not welcome by bride
DEAR ABBY: “Chad” and I have been
engaged for more than a year. Our
wedding is in six months. While final
izing the guest list, I discovered that
Chad wants to invite some people with
whom I am not at all interested in
sharing my special day.
“Michelle” was a close friend of
mine through high school and college,
but we have not spoken to each other
in four years. I know Michelle’s par
ents really like Chad, and I remember
Michelle’s mom telling me that if I ever broke
up with Chad she’d like him to date Michelle.
Chad knows Michelle from high school and
college only because he was dating me. He
occasionally speaks to Michelle since they are
in the same profession, and he likes her parents
enough to take the time to visit them when he’s
in town. I do not want to come across as the
jealous fiancee, but 1 am uncomfortable with
the fact that he so badly wants Michelle and her
parents to be at our wedding. When I told him
how I felt, he said he has known them forever
and considers them good friends. Abby, 1 do
not consider Michelle a friend at all, and her
parents mean absolutely nothing to me and my
family.
This is the only disagreement Chad and 1
have about our wedding. It's important to me to
have only people there whom 1 truly care about.
Should I put my foot down and deny them an
invitation, or suck it up and pray they're busy
that weekend?
SICK OF THE LIST IN FLORIDA
DEAR SICK OF THE LIST: Take a giant
step backward and let’s look at this situation:
(1) Chad and Michelle have a casual busi
ness relationship.
(2) Chad was never romantically interested
in Michelle, regardless of how much her par-

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(April 30). The lengths you'll
go to make a dream come true
this year are amazing, and so
is your stamina! You may
even be written up in a com
pany report, local newsletter
or national publication
your story inspires many. New
employment at the end of
summer is competitive, but it
pays great. Travel in
September is divine. Love
signs are Libra and Virgo.
Your lucky numbers are: 6,
43,2, 11 and 13.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You easily win over love and
affection because you recog
nize that nobody wants to be
chained down. You offer love
and freedom at the same time.
This backward approach
makes sweethearts want a
commitment from you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You have outstanding luck for
wheeling and dealing today!
You’re very sharp and will
recognize if someone is trying
to hide information from you.
Go slowly. You don’t want to
scare someone off before he
or she is ready to talk!

ing a lot. If 1 ask where something is or have a
different opinion about something, he claims
I’m trying to make him look stupid, that he’s
"always in the wrong," and that 1 accuse him of
things "all the time."
Abby, 1 do not think my husband is stupid. I
think he’s smart. 1 have never thought the
things he’s accused me of thinking. He blows
everything out of proportion to show how
wrong, wrong, wrong 1 am. The most benign
comment can start a fight that leaves me in
tears. His previous wife belittled him relentless
ly. but I don't. We have five children under age
5. and for their sakes, history must not repeat
itself. Please help.
CONFUSED IN IOWA
DEAR CONFUSED: There's an old saying,
"Once burned, tw ice shy." Because of the way
his first wife treated him. your husband is
hypersensitive to w'hat he perceives as criticism.
He's playing old tapes over and over in his head
and reacting to them, instead of what's going
on with you. With five children under the age of
5, this may be difficult, but I cannot stress
enough how important it is for you both to find
the time for marriage counseling. Do it for your
children’s sake. You may need to be more
diplomatic, and he definitely needs to learn to
live in the present. Please don't wait.
Under the stars’ gaze
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Responding to life’s disrup
tions sometimes takes too
much energy. Observe without
reacting at first learn what
you can. then ignore the rest,
and move on. Knowing what
is and is not your problem
uncomplicates your life.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). Polish networking skills,
and boldly speak with those
you hardly know. A hot tip
could make you some
money. New people are
attracted to your style
you’ve got so much of that,
though you may hardly think
about it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
may be tempted to call about
one of the numerous drug
commercials on television.
Laughter is still the best
medicine. Don't take chances
with your health. Singles
have the sweetest date
tonight!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
If the current outlook isn’t so
pretty, adjust your view of
the world. The answer may
be to relax and have fun. You
know you’re attractive, and
that puts you at ease. Nothing
is too serious, and there are no
misunderstandings, either.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Psychic batteries are charged.
Don’t give an inch if you're
right. Learn something; it
might mean more money, but
it definitely means more self
esteem. Singles: Reassess
your priorities, or someone
does it for you.
(3) Chad wants to invite them
all on HIS special day, so they can
have the pleasure of watching him
commit the rest of his life to you.
(4) If I were you, I'd offer them
a front-row seat and popcorn!
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I
both had failed relationships in the
past. 1 thought we had learned from
our mistakes, but we’ve been argu-
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Relationships are trickier
to navigate than even the
toughest of your challenges at
work. You have luck for sec
ond tries, so jump back in. and
apply what you learned the
last go-around. A Leo appreci
ates your sense of humor.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). New people are fea
tured. People with the right
credentials may not be as
qualified as the ones with no
credentials at all. Guard
against premature false judg
ments. Even when incorrect,
they can be hard to shake
later.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Loved ones readily
respond to what you say.
Practice what you preach, and
you'll be fulfilled. The after
noon brings the opportunity to
test your assumptions to make
sure you've correctly inter
preted your situation.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). There seems to be a new
way of doing just about every
thing (due to ever-changing
technology). Your mental
agility makes this as good a
time as any to learn. Chances
are. you won't even need the
online manual.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Put your values at the center
of your relationship. There's a
wise Taurus in your realm
who can point you in a power
ful direction. Someone sweet
has you laughing out loud
tonight. Sharpen your humor
on this person.
