Stumped with program wording

I think my situation may be unique and am having difficulty figuring out how to best "title" my family on our programs. His family is more traditional, however, my mother passed away when I was a child. I basically was raised by my two aunts (mother's sisters). I would like to list them, just not sure how. I would rather not use "Parents". I don't have a relationship with my father, so they would be the only ones I'd list. thanks!

Re: Stumped with program wording

  • I would list them first on the program as your aunts. My father's not in my life so my uncle is walking me down the aisle. I listed him with the parents names at the top of the program. People who know you will know and understand why they are listed at the top of the program and their significance in your life.

  • I agree with PP.  I think that's a great idea!
    My FI's father passed away and I listed him on the program as "The late (his name)" and then I listed his mother's name because they were divorced and she remarried.
    I would list them at the top under Aunts or something simple like "This all wouldn't be possible without my lovely Aunt ___ and Aunt ___"  or something along those lines.
    My little cousins and I are uber close, I couldn't include them all in the wedding, so they're "helping me" (guest book, ribbon wands, etc.)  So I included them under bridal party as "Lovely Little Helpers".

    Good luck!
