Hello Ladies!

 

I need some advice on wording for my programs!

Fiances parents are divorced for over 15 years. Fmil still has her married name and ffil is engaged.

I heard that I can word the program by saying:

Mother of the groom_____

Father of the groom accompanied by his fiancé_____

does this sound right to anyone?

 

Thank you for your help!

    @Eileen0423 I think yours is fine. It's a smart idea to include FIL's fiance.

    @allisonmarie658 Regardless of personal feelings, it's really rude to not include your FI's father's spouse and kind of immature. Good luck with that one. Make sure father in law and step mother in law know ahead of time so that there won't be a big blowout on the wedding day.

    My DH doesn't see his stepmother as a parent, and I don't see my stepfather as a parent. But they are our parent's spouses, so we accept them as such.

    @itzMS -- I understand your point and think talking to FFIL about it would be a good idea. FI is really adamant about not bringing any attention to FFIL's wife because of the situation there but I think you're right that we should talk to FFIL before anything gets printed.
    Maybe refer to FFIL's wife as "Wife of FIL" and not use the word "Stepmother" ?

    It does seem wrong to totally leave her off though.

    @CMGr -- what about if they are remarried as per the discussion above in listing only the (for lack of a better term) biological parents of the bride/groom? Is not listing the current spouse a slight even though they aren't the parent of the bride and/or groom?
    I'm not CMGr, but I think not listing the current spouse would be a slight.
