    That is a tough one, but sure to God all of the adults can act like adults so it doesn't ruin your special day. I would talk to all of them and tell them how you feel. Be stern, but nice so they know you aren't going to take any crap.

    1) pretend they're all adults and assume everyone can fake it for 8 hours or
    2) elope

    Four parents, four corners of the room.  Easy enough.  And if you're afraid they'll misbehave you can always have each of them fitted with those shock collars they use for dogs and zap them when they get out of line.

    I'm confused. Why does your mother hate your FMIL for cheating on her husband? It has nothing to do with your mother.

    Seat them at 4 different tables that are far from each other.

    What do you suggest doing at the ceremony? Theres only two columns. I know that i can probably sit my fiancees family together on one side with no problem but there will be a big problem if my mom and dad have to sit next to each other. Plus i dont want one of them to be angry with me if i seat them a row or two back. Undecided

    Let them figure it out. You don't need assigned seating at the ceremony. Surely there will be someone else in the front row who can sit between them. They are adults and can choose their own seats.

    Make sure you have lots of photographers, or preferably a videographer, to capture it all on film.  Then comback here and post an update afterwards with the evidence.
