DEAR DEIDRE: DESPITE my sister having been with her fiancé for three years, our over­protective dad has always thought he wasn’t good enough for her.

Now I’m worried Dad will ruin her wedding.

My sister is 27. I’m her 21-year-old brother.

Whenever her fiancé is around, Dad can’t help but make sarky comments.

He is always comparing him to her ex-boyfriend. It’s so awkward.

God knows what he’ll say in his speech, especially with a drink or two down him.

My sister wants me to make sure he doesn’t say anything inappropriate.

But he won’t listen to me.

He says it’s his job as a dad to give an embarrassing speech. It’s stressing me out.

I know my sister is really looking forward to her big day.

I don’t think she will forgive me if it goes pear-shaped.

DEIDRE SAYS:  It is commendable how much you want your sister to have a lovely day at her wedding.

But there comes a point when you have to accept that you are not responsible for someone else’s actions.

Talk to your sister about your concerns regarding your father’s speech.
