My fiance feels guilty because he thinks that it's his fault that his uncle is here in the first place. Apparently, he mentioned to his dad a while back that it would be nice if his uncle could attend the wedding. This is what prompted his father to look for his uncle in California -- and his brother immediately jumped on the bandwagon with a lot of "he's family and it's our job to help him" rhetoric.
So, I think the reason that my fiance agreed to it is that he feels as if he's the reason that the uncle is here now.
(The uncle is a very nice man, by the way. He made some poor decisions earlier in his life which led to where he is today, but I really do get the impression that he's trying hard to start over. I just worry that his health problems will prevent him from keeping any job that he gets, and that he won't ever be able to get by on his own steam.)
