Absent dad and wedding

I’m getting married next year. My dad’s been in and out of my life. Lately talks to me once every year or so and we never see each other. He only comes to events such as daughters first Christmas and occasionally others. He’s ignored my last message to meet. I invited him to my wedding because I worry something will happen to him and I’ll regret but he won’t even see me beforehand. He’s paid for his room so intends on coming.
Im not sure I should even bother anymore. I have happy memories of him when he used to interact with us and he is a nice guy on the surface but fails as a dad to all four of his children. Is it worth the invite? I worry I’ll regret it but I don’t want the whole day about him being there.

You’ve already invited him, so I’d leave it at that. Is he walking you down the aisle?
