I'm way ahead of the game but this is what i'm THINKING of for invitation wording....
''In this Dance of life i'm glad to have my last Dance with You.''
You are cordially invited to attend the wedding of
Adriana Lee daughter of Peter J. and Diana S.
to
Steven Edward son of Bruce W. and Cecelia W.
at blah blah blah.'
Both of our fathers are deceased and his parents are divorced and his father remarried. (the S. and W. are last names)
My mom is ok with the wording and FH could care less lol. I think i should ask his mother her opinion but i don't know how to go about it lol.

Re: invitation wording
This is definitely respectful of both sets of parents. I think you did a good job.

Re: invitation wording
I think that is the best way to address an invite when there are deceased/divorced/remarried parents involved. Despite whatever happened, you and FH are still the daughter and son of only two people.

Re: invitation wording
i don't know how that works with deceased parents. FH's dad passed away & when i told my mom i wanted to include his name on the invite my mom said you don't do that.

Re: invitation wording
My Mom died when I was 18 and I could never imagine sending out a wedding invite without her name on it so we are doing this:
Maria Louise Jones daughter of Margaret Elizabeth Jones and the late Mark Allen Jones and John Matthew Smith son of Mr. and Mrs. James Michael Smith request the honour of your presence at their marriage
or
Emma Marie daughter of Stuart Foster and Meredith Foster, in blessed memory and Walter Christopher Hough son of Theodore and Harriet Hough request the honor of your presence at their marriage Saturday, the eighteenth of June Two thousand and four at six o’clock Greenacres Country Club Somerset, New Jersey
