I’ve run into a challenge while figuring out introductions into the reception.
My parents are divorced, and my dad remarried (she and I have a very strained relationship, I don’t consider her my step-mom). FH’s mom is remarried, and we’re not sure if his dad will be coming to the wedding (he’s not at all in FH’s life).
I was going to have my parents announced, then his mom and step-dad.
When I shared this with my dad, he was concerned about it looking like something it’s not, as if they’re together (and he didn’t say it, but possibly doesn’t want to upset his wife?).
I could just announce my mom by herself, my dad by himself, his mom and stepdad together… and then his dad (if he comes?).
I’d hate for my parents to walk in alone, though. Maybe the moms together, and the dads together? But then his folks miss out on being announced together (miss their pic, doing their quick dance, etc.).
Hoping there's a better solution I haven't considered. What would you do?
