Question I (the groom) am getting married and my parents are divorced. My mom has not remarried and my dad remarried 5 years ago. My dad and his wife live overseas so I do not consider her a step-mother - moreso my dad's wife. How do I handle the program? I'm inclined to have "Parents of the Groom: Jane Doe and John Doe" and not include my dad's wife. Is that okay? What about the processional? Should my dad and his wife just be seated with the other guests? If my dad had not remarried would he be a part of the processional or just be seated with other guests? Thanks!
Answer Hi John:
It is okay if it won't hurt anyone's feelings. If you think your dad will be hurt that you left out his wife then I would word it more like
Parents of the Groom: Jane Doe and Mr. & Mrs. John Doe
As for the processional, your father would only be a part of it if he and your mother were still married. I would have them seated with the other guests but in the front row next to your mother if they get along. If not, then etiquette dictates that they sit in the second row.
I hope this helps. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me again.
