Hey All,

My parents passed away when I was little and my Aunt and Uncle raised me (since i was 13). I am trying to put my wedding program together, and I don't want to call my aunt and uncle Parents of the Bride. Throughout the wedding planning, my aunt and uncle have been playing the parents role, but I want to leave specific things in memory of my parents.

Does anyone have an alternate title recommendation? Is it ackward to want to change it and title it something else?

You list what they are. Aunt and Uncle of the bride. If your parents are deceased, you don't mention them (unless you do a "in memory of my parents Joe and Jill. I am thinking of you on this day" sort of thing).

Agreed with Retread.

Don't put a section on the program that says "parents" just list names and relationship.

If you would like to honor your parents you can do something similar to what Retread put.
