How to deal with divorced parents

Ashley, on June 6, 2019 at 2:44 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 3
What is the best way to deal with divorced parents while planning a wedding? Both parents are remarried and have been for years. I want to include my step-parents without taking away from my actual parents, both of which I am very close with. This issue mostly surrounds the ceremony itself and attire.

    Just treat your step parents like your bio parents. For example, if you want mom's to all wear purple...then have all the moms wear purple (including your step mom). If you want all dad's to wear grey suits, then have them all wear grey suits (including your step dad). Also, give them corsages and boutonnieres too. You can have your step dad escort your mom down the aisle, and an usher escort your step mom down the aisle (or give her a corsage and not have her be escorted but already sitting). Have your bio dad walk you down the aisle. Your parents will still get the traditional roles, but your step parents will be recognized as well. If your parents have a problem with this, then shame on them...because they should be able to all come together for your big day.

    Just include them naturally. Whatever you ask your mom and dad to do... Ask the same from your step parents. Since my dad is walking me down the aisle my step mom will walk down with my mom. (my dad is remarried, my mom isn't) of course they won't lock arms just walk side my side. and I am asking them to all wear same color.

    I have a stepfather and my fiance has a stepmother. My fiance is escorting his mom down the aisle, his father is escorting his wife, my mother is being escorted by her husband, and my father will escort me. I will assign seats for them at the ceremony so they aren't all together. Stepsiblings & siblings are in the bridal party. Stepparents are getting flowers too.
