Wedding Invitation?

I was reading my brother's wedding invitation the other day and the first line got me upset. It started off as, "Please join Mr XX & Mrs XX in honor of their.... etc." The thing is Mr XX, my father has been deceased for 3 years. I find it to be inappropriate to include him as he will not be present. I miss him so much that just reading that line upset me. Is it appropriate to include a deceased parent in that manner?

    It is inappropriate but it is done. As upsetting as it is let it go. Your brother and his fiance I am sure are embarrassed and it would be most considerate not to point out the obvious mistake

    They are probably doing this to HONOR your father's memory, and to acknowledge his roll in raising your brother to be the man he is now, despite his inability to actually attend the wedding.

    ~~It is your brother's invitation and he feels important that your dad's memory be included. It doesn't matter what the etiquette is or how other people feel about it. It's important to him obviously and thatis all that matters!~~
