Another wedding invite dilemma

HI I posted the other day and can't locate it...
The situation is :
Below is the wedding invite wording I want.

Since my FIL's are only contributing, my parents suggested that I write a more traditional wording saying 'son of Mr. & Mrs.__________'
since the FIL's and my parents don't speak (issues )

This is what I would like:

Please join
Mr. & Mrs. Jack _________
and
Mr. & Mrs. Glen _________
when their children
_______
&
_______
exchange wedding vows
and become husband and wife
at half past ten in the morning
September tweltfh, two thousand four

The Sans Souci
Sea Cliff, New York

What do you guys think - should I do what they suggest?? I like this - it's different...
anyone?

I like both of them to be honest - I think it just comes down to your personal preference. If it was me though - I'd go with your version.

Wait - I'm confused - your in-laws are contributing to the wedding, or aren't???

Honestly, the wording shouldn't have anything to do with who's contributing. You should do what you think is best. I had both sets of parents on top, because I thought it was right to acknowledge both sets of parents equally.

Inlaws are contributing but not as much as my parents would like...they are paying what they think is enough even though when it comes time for FSIL's wedding - it'll be a huge expensive affair + my parents and his aren't speaking - such a horrible start! We aren't even married yet!
I couldnt' even write down all the screwed up things that have happened since we got engaged!

I spoke to my parents a few minutes ago and told them I liked that wording and that was what I wanted...so they said whatever I want is fine with them...PHEW

Everything is an issue! UGH!!!
