    I just stumbled upon an etiquette website and had to post this on here for discussion... it caught my eye because my FILs are divorced ... but it ended up just making me laugh. Has anyone ever heard these rules before? That if the bride's parents are divorced, the mom throws the wedding and the dad does not attend the reception?? Crazy ... a funny read just the same though :P

    "When Divorced Parents are Not Friendly.  There is perhaps no situation which brings distress as the wedding of a daughter whose parents are divorced and bitterness prevails.  It is especially unhappy for the bride who loves both parents and their families.  Yet the wedding of their daughter must be given by her mother.  Her father rides with her to the church, if driven by limousine, walks her down the aisle and shares briefly in the ceremony.  After giving her away, he takes his place in one of the farther-back pews behind his x-wife.  But he does not attend the reception given by his x-wife and possibly her present husband.  It is also very probable that no member of his family including the grandparents, aunts or uncles of the bride do not even get to go to the church. "

    Insane! Most divorced parents (not mine though) can hold it together to celebrate their son or daughters wedding!
