Hi guys,
I'm writing our ceremony programs, but I need advice on the best way to handle wording when it comes to divorced parents. My FH's parents are divorced, and his dad remarried when he was little but he's not close with his step-mom. For the processional though, the order will be officiant, followed by FH, followed by dad and step-mom, followed by his mom, etc. So my question is: Do I word it the first way, or the second way? Which one makes more sense with the processional order?
1.
Parents of the Bride: (Dad's first name) & (Mom's first name) (Last name)
Parents of the Groom: (Dad's name) & (Mom's name)
2.
Parents of the Bride: (Dad's first name) & (Mom's first name) (Last name)
Mother of the Groom: (Mom's name)
Parents of the Groom: (Dad's name) & (Step-mom's name) (Last name)
