Long story short you can not put my fiance's parents in the same room. They divorced when he was nine-months old over is dad cheating on his mom. His dad is married to the woman he has the affair with and now it's just flat out drama city. I'm scared to have a shower or get-together before the wedding due to them fighting and starting another feud. We have already had a sit down about the wedding and told them what will happen if anything does happen at the wedding; and of course they were blaming the other person for things that have not even happened yet. My mom flat out does not like his mom or step-mom and she has good reasons too. Those two have put me in tears more this past year then I have every been in my whole life.
Anyway, I would like to host a luncheon at my home with the families so everyone gets to know one another. I'm not looking really at a shower because I have everything I need. Yes, there are things that I would like, but I don't need anything that I can think of. My sister's husband is stationed in Col. and they have a new baby so she can not afford to throw a get-together and my mom refuses to throw one because she thinks they are pointless. Any ideas or suggestions?
