So my parents have been divorced for about 20yrs now but they do not speak to each other and there is stil alot of tension between them. (Needless to say I'm worried about them being within arms length of each at the wedding). But right now I'm concerned with my bridal showers.
I've had the same step-mom for almost 20 years. I've had a questionable relationship with my mother my whole life and I'm starting a new relationship with my FMIL.
This is my fiance's second marriage (first marriage was 10yrs ago) but my FMIL is convinced that no one wants to buy gifts for a second wedding so she would rather have a "family reunion" with no gifts required. This is my first wedding and that sounds depressing.
I don't want to have 3 separate showers but I don't want to have just one big one and make my mother and step-mom deal with it when they obviously hate each other because I want it to be a happy day without worrying about a fight breaking out. I don't know what to do?? Why is my wedding getting ruined by divorces??? HELP!!??
