How should you word the engagement announcement (for the newspaper) when the bride is the daughter of her mother and deceased father, and the groom is the son of his mother, his late father, and his step-father who his mother married after his father passed away. His mother has his step-father's last name.
Ms. Jane Doe is the daughter of Mrs. Joan Doe and the late Mr. Jack Doe. Mr. Sean Young is the son of Mrs. Emma Jones and the late Mr. Chad Young. He is also the step-son of Mr. Frank Jones.
Is this right? I just made this up. Or should it be Mr. Sean Young is the son of Emma and Frank Jones of Atlanta, Georgia. He is also the son of the late Mr. Jack Doe.
Neither of these seem right to me.
