My future in laws insist that they will be lifted in chairs during the hora. My parents insist that parents only go up if its a bar/bat mitzvah, the wedding is about the couple, not their parents. I tend to agree with my parents, PLUS my mother is deathly afraid of going up in that chair. What do I do? It seems awkward to have just the mother and father of the groom, but not my parents. Should I tell the future in-laws they are not going up?? I've only seen parents go up at one Jewish wedding and it was a huge traditional orthodox wedding -- nothing like ours.
