I just posted another seating question, but this one popped into my mind and is pretty personal.
I have one cousin who has had substance abuse issues in the past. She is now recovering, but when she was using she hurt a lot of our family and broke relationships. She could be volatile, inconsiderate, and occasionally downright mean. As a result, many of my extended family members no longer speak to her, including my siblings.
I kept a decent relationship with her that was one-sided for a while but has become more two-way during her recovery. I love her so I invited her to my wedding.
She told me yesterday she booked her hotels. Now it's occurring to me that I don't know who will tolerate sitting with her. Her siblings would, but they are in a different age group and would probably want to sit with their closer cousins that won't sit with this cousin. I don't want to sit her with parents. Should I sit her with the one other cousin who tolerates her and maybe a couple friends she knows (we grew up going to the same HS). I'm worried it will be obvious from the seating chart that the family didn't want to sit with her. Do I just ask my family to maybe tolerate it for a day?
