What does the Bible say about who has to be invited to your wedding?

[apmercer]

If someone is about to get married, who should be invited to the wedding?

For example, if you have a close relative that continuously and deliberately blasphemes and swears, and they know that it offensive, should they get invited to the wedding or not?

Obviously people like this I have forgiven, but should they be present at a special occasion like a wedding?

Bible doesn't say anything about who to invite to the wedding.
In Bible times it was most likely the parents that did the inviting.

 

[JojotheBeloved]

In Bible times weddings were arranged by the parents of both the bride and groom. The parents did all the inviting and planning. It was a multiple day celebration and the entire community was welcomed. Other than that, we don't know that it says anything in the way of advice.

The bible says nothing about what has to happen for a couple to be married but churchs push it like its gospel. To me its the top item that causes churchs to completely loose all credibility with me. Dont tell me I have to have a certian cermony or sign a legal document when its not in the bible.

When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. 13 But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind. 14 And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you;

I'd say invite the blasphemer and let him hear a good preaching. I'm glad I invited my mocking atheist granddad who later got saved and other atheists. Some weren't so respectful, but at least they heard the gospel.
