Seating chart during ceremony -adoptive parents/birth parent additional plus parents

Sunny, on March 19, 2023 at 7:53 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 3

My soon to be husband was adopted at 5 years old. During his teen years he had a difficult time connecting with his adoptive parents. He meet a man who has become a second father at 17. (My bf is 43 now) Fast forward to his mid twenties he connected to his birth mom (who has many issues and causes problems) his best friend since his teenage years has died and his mom as taken him in as her other child. He has sense created a healthy relationship w his adopted parents after years of them being distant. I am come from a family that my parents are still married and it’s not complicated on how to do my seating during the ceremony. How should I do the seating for his side regarding parents. (His birth mom thinks she should only be the only “parent”) again here is his “family structure” : Adoptive parents-birth mom and husband -second dad who is more like a any parent/dad in his life, his bff friend mom and her husband. I guess my big concern is his birth mom throwing a fit if she’s not recognized as his mom and walked down the aisle or sit in the first two chairs. HELP! Lol

    If birth mom throws a tantrum, have security remove her. Adoptive parents are valid as parents so put them in the first row.

    His birth mom forfeited any right to special treatment when she gave him up for adoption. She's fortunate he contacted her and wants her in his life at all. If he wants to honor his adoptive parents, or have no one from his side walk down the aisle at all, that's up to him. I'd probably just seat all of the special adults in his life up front on his side.

    You don't have to have any caregivers walk down the aisle, and you don't need a ceremony program with titles. For anyone who has a tantrum, have security escort them out. As for seating at the reception, ask your partner. You don't have to worry about this now. Relationships could also change for better or worse through April 2024.
