Divorced parents! Help

My fiancés parents are divorced and do not get along . My family is in NYC his dad is in Europe with his step mom and his mother lives on the west coast so our families haven’t had a chance to meet in person and will meet for the first the week of the wedding. My fiancés step mom wants to coordinate a dinner of “meeting the parents” but wants to keep the mother of the bride out of that meeting. Idk how I feel about having a separate dinner before the wedding without his mother and my parents just meeting his actual mother at the wedding.



Is this even necessary? Thoughts?

    I actually don't think that's an unreasonable request at all. They are a couple and want to invite your parents out to dinner. I don't see why they should be forced to include his mother, especially if there are bad feelings there. It seems like it would be much more successful if everyone was comfortable. And perhaps his mother is interested in doing the same at a separate time?

    Meeting at separate times would be fine, but not both in the week before the wedding. You'll have too much going on and having to stress about 2 separate dinners and then the rehearsal dinner and wedding, etc. Can they plan on flying in for a visit sometime way before the wedding?
