My parents were never married, and they have been separated for about 20 years. However, my mother, father, and his wife HATE each other. They cannot stand to be in the same room with one another, making holidays, birthdays, and weddings very stressful. I am planning my wedding for March 2010. My mother is paying for my dress, my father and step mother are going to contribute about $1000. We are having our ceremony at he same venue as the reception, what do you suggest for seating arrangements. I do not want to offend anyone, or make anyone uncomfortable. When my sister got married my mother ended leaving after the ceremony because she was uncomfortable, and sat in the back of the church during the ceremony. I want to make sure that my mother gets to be apart of the experience of seeing her youngest daughter get married. My step mother has been in my life since I was 5 and had a lot of involvement in my up bringing. HELP!
Also, what colors can you suggest for an early March wedding? I am thinking a champagne and black, but I would like to add an accent color.
Thank you,
Crystal
Answer Hi Crystal:
In this type of situation the mother of the bride would sit in the front row and the father of the bride and his wife would sit in the second row.
I am sorry that your parents are not civil towards one another but they really need to get over it and learn to get along for your sake. It's been 20 years and that has been more than enough time to put the past to rest. Sorry if I sound harsh, but it really irritates me when family can't get along for just one day for the sake of someone else's happiness.
As far as colors go, I personally would use a bright bold color since the champagne and black are more on the muted side.
I hope this helps. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me again.
