My parents have been married now for 31 years. However, my dad had a previous marriage that resulted with three children who are older with children of their own. Even though it was years ago, there is still some tension about her. I might have my neices and nephews involved in the ceremony, so it would be nice to have their nanna see them. But I dont want to cause grief that she's there but I don't want to disrespect my parents either. What do you propose?

You don't mention whether or not you are close to this woman, or even have any contact with her. If she is not important to YOU, then don't invite her, especially with the tension you mention in your family. There will be plenty of other, more appropriate opportunities for her to see her grandchildren...this is not exactly their soccer game or school play, this is your wedding.
You don't mention who the tension is with, but you do say "but" you don't want to disrespect your parents. That implies to me that they are the ones that want her there. If they do, and you do, then have her! No one else in attendance should have the poor grace to say anything about you and your parents' choice.
Good luck!
