Divorced parents and plus ones… any advice?

Hey everyone! This post is about my dad who has been divorced for almost all of my life.For background, DH and I are already married (covid elopement) but having the “real” wedding in Nov 2021.I’m having a hard time with my single father feeling entitled to a plus one. DH and I are paying for the entire wedding ourselves and no one in my family has contributed. Which is ok! This will be the third attempt at the wedding (so many covid postponements lol), and this time we have cut the guest list to be very lean and close friends/family only. We did this for covid safety mostly.My dad has never been given a plus one. Mainly because he hasn’t had a long term relationship and I’m not about to have a random person at my wedding. For all 3 of my weddings (original, first postponement, and now second postponement), he has tried to sneak 3 different women into the guest list. For example, he told a woman she was invited and purchased her plane ticket. I found out 4 weeks before the wedding and was livid. He just tried to do the same thing with my upcoming wedding (different woman but invited her and bought a ticket and “hoped” i would be ok with it).Every time I have told him no, I am met with him screaming at me, calling me selfish, and that I don’t want him to be happy. I’m one outburst away from excluding him from the wedding all together (we haven’t had a good relationship in years. He has a criminal record of mistreating women).How can I set this boundary for good? I have told him he’s not entitled to anything when it comes to an event my husband and I are paying for, and it’s not my responsibility to make sure he has “company.” I tried to tell him the wedding is 6 hours of his life, but has been a part of mine for 3 years now and I need him to respect my decision.Thanks all! via /r/weddingplanning https://ift.tt/3e5uddS
