So I was unaware how frustrating wording invitations would be, but I should have known. Anyway, my fiancé's father is passed but we are still acknowledging him on the invitation. This however has his mother convinced that I need to acknowledge my parents as well. The problem being that my mother isn't assisting in anyway mostly because she's half way across the country but also because she hasn't been a prominent part of my life for 15 years. Now for my father its more complicated as he was never part of my life and isn't even invited to the wedding. I spoke to his parents (whom are giving me away) and while my grandmother didn't demand he was acknowledged she just repeated my MIL2B in the sense that I don't want to look like an orphan and I cant acknowledge one parent and not the other. I've decided that since I'm obviously biased in this situation that I would ask for outside opinion.
