When a wedding is on the horizon, it's not unusual for that stressful planning process to either drive a rift between parents and their children or to bring existing tensions to a boiling point.

Less common, however, are family problems that develop just from the simple act of going to someone else's wedding. But as one dad's story illustrates, even peripheral drama can bring families into some thorny ethical dilemmas.
