Wedding blowout, father-daughter relationship

Discussion

My wedding is in less than a week. My fiance and I have paid for everything on our own, not that it matters much but that we feel very proud of ourselves for being able to do this on our own and not having too much family involvement in our wishes. I come from a pretty toxic family situation and my father can be very narcissistic. My mother and I have been on very good terms the older I get. Over the holiday weekend, my father exploded in violence and hatred. He attacked me for disagreeing with him and basically calling him out on his behavior. I'm now visibly bruised a few days before my wedding. He proceeded to have physical altercations with other family members and in the interest of safety I had my mother stay at mine and my fiancé's home. Of course this didn't please my father but I didn't care about that at the time. My father has yet to apologize or try to remedy any of this and I'm not sure how to move forward with the typical father-daughter aspects of the wedding. Do I black list him? What should I do if he shows up with no communication prior?
