I'd end a theraputic relationship with anybody who was so hands off that they would not attend my wedding. How she feels is valid, but it's not the only valid perspective...and it may be worthwhile to go, just to avoid the conflict disrupting the theraputic relationship.

I mean, she could go to the wedding but not the reception and if anybody asks who she is, just say she's a friend of the bride's from around town.
