Question

Ladies,

FI parents are divorced but are still really good friends. HIs father re-married and FI's mom and step mom are really tight (weirdest thing ever).

Anyway,

I am trying to figure out if i will have his parents walk down together since FI said they won't mind.  I don't feel like looking for an Usher for her and who the hell will the dad walk in with? We don't really care about adding his step mom to the program. He said his parents won't mind. Now i am trying to figure out how to list his parents on the program. I am thinking

Parents of the Groom
Mr. David Sam & Mrs. Janice Brown

What would you do?

    If his parents truly don't care then yeah his parents could walk down together and the step-mom could just seat herself like the rest of the guests.  Or, could his dad and his wife walk down together and have your FI walk your mom down the aisle before taking his place at the altar?  I've seen this done before. 
    As far as how to write in the program, since his mom isn't married it could say Mr. David Sam & Ms. Janice Brown.

    Both moms should be escorted by an usher and the dad follows.

    On the program It would be all 3.

    I'd make the dad walk both women down....who told him to get married twice...lol...
    pehaps nstead of him stating his parents won't mind the best way to find out is to get his mom and dad together and ask them what they prefer?

    I say whatever everyone is comfortable with. My Fi's dad was married before he & FI 's mom came together and he has two other children with his first wife. In both son's wedding he walked down with their mother and not his wife. FI's mom was fine with that and so was his ex wife.

    Mmmmm... I say have dad escort his current wife in and have FI escort his mother... and have them on the program as...

    Parents of the Groom
    Mr. and Mrs. John Q. and Janice Public
    Ms. or Mrs. Joanne Public

    or whatever their names may be... but the easiest way I think is like I described.

    Let us know what you decide
