Brody Jenner is 'deeply hurt' by his dad Caitlyn's decision not to attend his wedding.
The 34-year-old, who is set to wed fiancee Kaitlynn Carter in Bali this week, invited his father to the ceremony.
However the 68-year-old opted against going, reportedly because of a 'lucrative business opportunity'.

An insider told TMZ that the rift between Caitlyn and his youngest son goes back to when she married third wife Kris Jenner.
All four of Caitlyn's older children blame on Kris for being 'selfish' and Caitlyn for being 'an enabler' in allowing allowing Kris to put a wall between a dad and his kids from other marriages.
Despite their difference, the source said Brody fully expected his dad to be at the wedding, and the snub will only deepen the rift between them.
It was also reported that Kylie and Kendall did not even bother RSVPing to the event; the insider claims Brody does not blame his two younger half-sisters, as they were very young when the 'wall' went up, preventing a real relationship.

Caitlyn recently admitted she found it 'tough' to maintain a relationship with her children.
The I Am Cait star said her children - Burt, 39, Casey, 37, Brandon, 36, Brody, 34, Kendall, 22 and Kylie, 20 - have all 'moved on'.
She told Broadly last week: 'I spend a lot of time by myself here in the house. I have a lot of children, but sometimes just because of circumstances, maintaining a close relationship with your kids is very tough. They all have lives. They've all moved on. We're just human beings; we're going to be here for a very short time. We come and we go and at the end, when it's all said and done, hopefully your family is going to be there.'
Brody is Caitlyn's youngest son, from his second marriage to Linda Thompson; Linda accepted her invite, and has been documenting the celebrations leading up to the ceremony on social media.

The wedding party have certainly been making the most of the celebrations - with a series of unique experiences, including playing drinking games at a pool party, visiting a monkey-filled forest and undergoing a blessing ritual.
Along with Burt and his older brother Brandon from Caitlyn's marriage to Linda, the former Bruce Jenner also fathered Casey and Burt with first wife Chrystie Crownover,
As the patriarch of the bustling Kardashian family, the father-of-six was for many years a close and loving stepfather to Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Rob.
But following Bruce and Kris' divorce and Caitlyn's announcement of her transition, she published a tell-all book about her experience, leaving her estranged from her stepchildren.
