My parents will be celebrating 26 years of marriage this June, but my fiance's parents are divorced. His parents aren't so hostile that they can't speak to each other, but things are pretty uncomfortable between them.
I've already talked to my fiance about managing the seating arrangements etc and am not really worried about that. But there are a few things I'm not sure how to handle. For example, I want my parents to have a dance together at the reception, because they deserve it: they have been a beautiful example my entire life of what a holy, loving marriage looks like. I also would like to honor them by having them announced together as they enter the reception.
But how do we go about announcing *his* parents? Do they walk in by themselves? I feel bad because I don't want to make things awkward by calling attention to the fact they're divorced, but at the same time I don't think it's right to make my parents give certain things up (their dance, being announced together)--especially on a day that's a celebration of marriage!
Does anyone have any advice? Thanks!
