FH's grandma: to include or not include in program?

Long explanation for a simple question: I'd like to print out the programs this weekend and am thisclose to being done. The only thing left is to finalize the page with the the list of everyone (grandparents, parents, officiants, readers, bp, etc). Because both my grandmothers have played a large role in my life, they will be escorted down the aisle before my mother, so I'd like to include them in the program.

FH's grandfather will not be coming to the wedding (and FH's family does not get along with him at all) so we've already decided to not include his name on the program.

Meanwhile, his grandmother has been a pain in the butt and has still not decided whether or not she will attend the wedding (She's an uber-devout Catholic and thinks it's against her religion to step foot into a Protestant church, while fmil is still trying to convince her otherwise.) His other grandmother has alzheimers and will not be attending and FH already said to not include her in the program if she isn't there.

Obviously if she attends, FH would want her to walk down the aisle before my grandmothers, but if she doesn't attend, I wouldnt' want her name in our program. Should I include her name and hope she comes or just leave her off because she won't commit and I don't want to wait on printing the programs any longer? Or do I print all of our grandparents names, regardless of if they'll be there or not? Or do I do just all of the grandmothers, regardless of whether or not they attend, and leave out FH's grandfather?

I'd include all Grandmothers, whether or not they attend....just leave out estranged Grandpa.

That way there's no worry about who's showing up, etc.

I'm including all grandparents - whether or not they attend. Hopefully they will

I agree--put them all in, easier that way.
