The article explores two dilemmas faced by individuals about relationships and social etiquette. The first case involves a person who is asked to officiate a friend’s wedding to someone they dislike, where advice is given on whether to be truthful about their feelings. The second case deals with challenging in-law introductions during visits, emphasizing the importance of planning to avoid awkward situations. Both scenarios highlight the nuances of maintaining friendships and family dynamics with honesty while managing personal discomfort.
You should certainly tell your friend if your objections contain information she does not possess, and which would constitute a substantive reason for calling off the wedding.
If your dislike affects only yourself, then you might find a reason that is less fully truthful, but also less likely to dampen your friend's enthusiasm on the day.
What really boils down to is that these sets of future in-laws have never met each other, creating a complex social situation.
I think it would be best to introduce everyone over dinner after which, everyone can retreat to their own spaces rather than being jammed together.
