Need help parents are divorced

OK, My parents divorced a long time ago and get along alright.So 1st question, Does the DJ introduce them together as the parents of kelly? Then the hard question, do they dance together? My mom is remarried but my dad is not. what do I do?

Re: Need help parents are divorced

My parents are still married, but my husband's parents are divorced and both remarried, so what we did was announce my parents first 'Mr. & Mrs. Parents of the Bride' , then 'mother of the groom escorted by her husband, X & Y' and then 'father of the groom with his wife, Mr. & Mrs. Father of the Groom'.

But when my cousin got married, her father was remarried and her mother wasn't. She didn't announce the step-mother, she had her parents walk in together as the parents of the bride, (first name) and (first name). And they did dance together, but it's only a little bit anyway. Do you have a sister that can escort your dad? Do what makes your parents and you feel most comfortable!

Re: Need help parents are divorced

I have the same situation, both of my parents are remarried though. I will have them both announced with their husband and wife, they will not have a dance together though, I would cut that out it would be awkward.

Re: Need help parents are divorced

They should not be introduced together. Your mother should be escorted by her husband. Your Dad can walk in with his sister, or a cousin, or your sister.
I don't think that parents should be introduced together unless they are married- or amazing good friends without spouses.
I am NOT doing any introductions as to avoid any problems.

Re: Need help parents are divorced

that may be the way to go, I don't want to make my father feel uncomfortable. Well, I'll talk to both and see what they say. Thanks for your advice

Re: Need help parents are divorced

I have similar problems and decided not to introduce to avoid the hassel and agravation.

Re: Need help parents are divorced

My parents are divorced too.
I'm not introducing them either. My dad is walking me down the aisle, my Mom is lighting our unity candle-I think they're getting recognized that way. I would NEVER make them dance together. Plus I LOVE my Dad's wife(I couldn't care less about Mom's 'friend')but I'd never want to make anyone feel weird or have anxiety about it.
Our best mans girlfriend was worried that he was going to dance with my MOH-I'm not doing that either. I want everyone to dance with the people that they love.

Also my Fi's Dad passed away 2 years ago & I don't want my FMIL to be sad.

Re: Need help parents are divorced

A word of advise- don't always ask people, especially parents, what they think. If your Mom says she wants to be introduced and your Dad says not to, then you are stuck in the middle. Better to decide with your FH and then tell everyone your decision. Asking always seems to get me into trouble.

Re: Need help parents are divorced

my parents are divorced and i am not close with my father. jen's parents and my mother will be introduced because they are most important to us.

added: no way my mom would want to be introduced with him anyway. my sister had it the same way at her wedding and it worked. later, jen's parents will have their dance.

Re: Need help parents are divorced

Don't pair them up if it'll be awkward. Especially if mom is remarried, she should walk in with her husband. You could always have dad walk in first, he can make a great grand entrance.
