The late Elizabeth Edwards’ parents are fuming and will do anything to make sure her daughter Cate DOES NOT invite John’s mistress Rielle Hunter or his daughter Francis Quinn to the wedding.
A battle is brewing! John Edwards daughter with his late wife Elizabeth, who passed away of cancer in December at 61, is getting married, but it’s anything but a happy occasion. John’s mistress Rielle Hunter is demanding that Frances Quinn, the child she had with John in 2008, be included in the nuptials. And she doesn’t just mean an invite — Rielle wants Quinn to be the flower girl!
According to the National Enquirer, the bride Cate, 29, was open to the idea of letting her 3½-year-old half sister be a part of the wedding, but Elizabeth’s parents are “dead-set” against it.
A source says that “Elizabeth’s family is furious at the mere suggestion of it,” and that they feel the gesture would be a “huge slap in the face” to their late daughter.
And Cate‘s wedding date is fast approaching — she’s set to marry medical resident Trevor Upham on October 22 in North Carolina!
“Elizabeth’s family will never forget how she died brokenhearted because of his [John's] selfish behavior,” the source adds. “They refuse to let John’s actions tarnish Cate’s big day.”
But on the other hand, Cate is trying to follow her mother’s wishes, which were to keep the family together and look after her younger siblings, Emma, 13, and Jack, 11, if anything were to happen. And lets face it, in reality, Quinn IS one of those siblings.
What do YOU think? Should Quinn be invited to the wedding or should the Edwards keep Elizabeth’s parents wishes in mind?

This woman is a monster who has already done so much to hurt this family. She should have nothing to do with this wedding…I can’t believe he’s such a weak, worthless father that this idea ever saw the light of day..

Amen! It makes me sad for the little one to have a monster for a mother and a pathetic excuse for a father. She doesn’t have a chance in life. I wonder if she’ll end up harming others or if she’ll destroy herself. Time will tell and The National Enquirer will be there to report it all with color pix.
It makes me sadder for the other children to have had such a wonderful mother only to lose her and be stuck with him as their only parent. Hopefully Elizabeth was able to give them what they needed in the time she was with them.

I agree with you Leesa-because of the condition being illegitimate, life will be more difficult for her.I feel sorry for Quinn.Hunter has been demanding before and it does not surprise me if she did insist on her daughter being the flower girl. It is Cate’s wedding and nobody-father,mistress should not manipulate her into doing something she is not comfortable with.Tamtam, of course it is not either’s fault, but put yourself in Cate’s and ELizabeth’s familie’s place, how would you feel if a woman destroyed your marriage,family,had a child out of wedlock, demanding you leave your wife not caring about the other minor children, and demanding to push these two families together by force when they did not invite you into their family to begin with?Think about it-very difficult and no easy answers.

Rielle had it in for Elizabeth and now that she’s gone, Rielle is going after Cate. She doesn’t care that she’s only hurting Quinnie’s chances of ever having a genuine relationship with her half-siblings.
After all, she’s referred to her own daughter as “meal ticket” because she says she’ll never have to work again simply by having the baby. And it certainly is proving to be true since she rarely worked steadily before the affair and not at all since the affair.

To clarify, Rielle’s anger is because Johnny refused to leave Elizabeth while she alive and still won’t marry Rielle now. She thinks their marriage should have been the one at which Quinnie would be a flower girl.
If he won’t live up to his promise of the rooftop wedding, she’s going to do everything she can to ruin his life – so far, so good.

Amen to you also Mimi! I believe Hunter is just in love with money, fortune, and fame.In the long run, John will/has regretted ever getting involved with Rielle and having a baby with her.She planned this all along and took advantage of a man who was vulnerable. She wishes she was the one having the wedding, Quinn being the flower girl, and is very jealous of Cate(John’s daughter) getting married.John may eventually have to limit ties with Hunter otherwise the rest of his life will be turmoil.He is still responsible for child support of this child, but after she is of age, he is no longer obligated financially,emotionally, or otherwise tied to Hunter.Hunter herself may end up the lonely person when she gets old once her daughter finds out the truth.

I don’t trust tabloids, Especially the “National Enquirer”. This is just another headline to ruin the Edwards family name. Cate’s wedding is CATE’S wedding. The Media needs to stay out of it. Its a shame that a little girl is being used as a bread winner for stupid gossipers.

And being used as a bread winner by her own mother who sold exclusive photos to The National Enquirer of them (mommy and daughter) going to the first day of preschool at the Little Church on the Lane in Charlotte earlier this month. What kind of a mother would do that to her own three year old?

I doubt Rielle demanded anything. That is just a headline. If Cate WANTS HER SISTER to be in the wedding–than she should. It is her wedding and the little one IS her sister. And it is neither of their fault in how they became siblings. Her wedding…her sister….hmmmm…the rest of the family can go pound sand with how they feel about it.

Oh, you don’t know Rielle! She’ll demand anything and doesn’t care what she has to threaten to get her way. Believe me, I know!

First of all, this is NOT Rielle’s wedding and how dare her to think she can manipulate getting her child to be flower girl.She has some nerve! If I were Cate and knowing she had demanded this, I would NOT INVITE either to my wedding at least not Rielle. How disrespectful can you be to demand this especially if you were not even invited to be a part of their family, connived, and tricked yourself into getting pregnant with someone else’s husband!All I can say is ELizabeth’s family would throw her out of the wedding if she shows up;I would be ashamed after what I had put the Edward’s family through that I would not EVEN THINK of demanding my daughter be flower girl or even going to the wedding!

So you think someone should throw an invited guest out of the wedding because of how they feel vs honor the day? Wow.

How awful to deal with so much stress at a time like this! Could John not bring Quinn by himself without Rielle? I have half siblings that I fully include in my life despite the family history, and I’ve never had to even speak to their other parents.

The former mistress is just trying to get herself invited to the wedding. She doesn’t care about the children having a relationship. If she did, she would let the children be together privately, not at a big event, WITHOUT HER PRESENT to begin the long process of building a relationship.
Rielle still wants John, who obviously doesn’t want her, and will do anything to try to worm his way into his life even if it means using the children.
