While Dog's big day was a special one for him and Francie, it's been marred by controversy after it was revealed that the bounty hunter's daughter Bonnie and step-daughter Cicily were not invited to the ceremony.

"My only guess or idea would be that he’s just not really on the same path as me and my sister," Cicily told TMZ when she revealed that she was not invited. She also said that she and Bonnie share a resemblance to their late mother, Beth, which could have played a part.

"What I’m seeing personally is just my dad is having a hard time dealing with the fact that maybe he’s not going to be able to replace my mom and that me and Bonnie bring a lot out from my mom and he sees our mom in us."

"I feel like that scares him," she continued. "Yes, he can move on. Yes, he can get married again – that’s not the problem. I just think he’s too scared that we remind him too much of my mother."

Since then, Bonnie has accused her father of racism and homophobia and has alleged that he had an affair while still married to Bonnie's mother.
Chapman has denied all of Bonnie's claims.
