@afuturemrsl: I don't feel uncomfortable, it's just not possible. She lives 600 miles away. Its a little last minute to drive 1 hr 1/2 to the airport and fly here for Friday.
My maternal gma wasn't originally invited, but then she decided it would be nice to spend my mom's b-day with her.
@mrscandy, I think it's a one and a half hour drive plus a flight.
@divergirl: I don't know what your relationship is like with your dad's mom, but surely she would understand that you want to go dress shopping with your mom, right? I think most people understand it's a special mother-daughter experience. So hopefully she would understand that. Maybe send her pictures afterwards and ask her opinion on a couple of dresses? Or is there any other way she could be involved from a distance?
Oh, and I would tell your dad to stop interfering and causing trouble on purpose (and actually, I'd be tempted to tell him to deal with his mom, since he's the one who purposely upset her.).
Yes you are right it is an hour and 1/2 drive plus the fiight here... sending her photos are a good idea just so she knows I'm not excluding her.
so I called him... he wouldn't even talk to me when my mom said I needed to talk to him. I basically told him that he needs to stop being so childish and think about who he's affecting when he says these things...
I'm just annoyed because he knows my gma's personality and know's she doesn't need a reason to think she's being excluded.
So I guess in adittion to being having some personal issues. He is mad at my mom for going dress shopping without him. And purposely excluding him.
We planned this trip about a month ago, and he was supposed to come, but said he couldn't ask for Halloween off because it's supposedly a big time for people to ask off to go trick or treating w/their kids... Anyways we both asked him to come, and offered to make it the weekend before or the weekend after so he could come. He just didn't want to put in for the time off... and I know there are going to be people saying well he has to work... Let me explain that when there is something he wants to do ie golfing with his buddies, or a baseball game, he ALWAYS mangages to get the day off.
I just feel super crummy about this whole thing.
You could always call your paternal grandmother before the trip and ask her opinion about gown styles and ask her about what it was like when she got married, etc. Just letting her know that you care and want to share this experience with her in whatever way you can over the distance will help undo the harm your dad has done.

So my Mom and my Gma (her mom) are flying up Friday for my mom's b-day and to look at wedding dresses. My parents are feuding and when my gma (his mom) came by to drop off my mom's bday card, he told her about the b-day plans. KNOWING that she was going to be hurt she wasn't included.
Just to give you some background I live 600 miles from my parents and my paternal granparents. So now I have a gma who's upset she's not included, and a dad who did it purely out of spite. I'm so frustrated...why would he do that??? I'm just grrrrrrrr....
How do you fix that?
