I have divorced parents and for my brother's wedding, my dad walked in with my Step-mom and then my mom walked in with her FI. So I think it is whatever you and your FI think would be best for them and you. I am only having the bridal party introduced by the DJ. The reason being is that I plan to let the parents and grandparents go inside after they finish with pictures and then go outside to take fun shots with the bridal party.
I never been at a wedding where they introduced the parents at the reception as they walk in.. my parents are divorced and my dad is remarried.. I am really glad that hasn't been a tradition around here! lol. . . something else to worry about.
My mom always says she is fine with it but I know it sucks for her... Big time!
My opinion. . don't ask them to walk in together. Do them seperate. Are they remarried?
The dad is dating but his mom is single, the reason I asked was because Fi's half brother (different mothers) had his parents walk in together at his wedding a few years ago and they've been divorced for a long time before that
In this case I would ask them and see what they say... It would be nice if they did walk in together since they are both not remarried.. maybe give them the option that they walk in together or alone.
I am hoping my parents will stand up together to thank everyone at the reception. They are the ones that had me ... I am their daughter whether they like eachother or not.
I think my parents do a good job of trying to get along though. . so this will be hard if they are less willing.
Ya his dad cheated big time and put FI's mom through depression, its been 15 years and she is still affected by it! I know it will mean alot to FI and also myself to see them walk in together, I hope they wont be upset with us..lol
I haven't been to a wedding where the parents were introduced at the reception before either.
I would not have it done personally. I hate it for your FI's mom. I understand how she feels. But hopefully she can work through all this. I did. It wasn't easy, but it worked.
You never really forget it, but it dulls over time. But at a wedding, I'm sure it will stir up emotions and bring alot of pain back for her. I say seat them as far away from each other as possible and make sure your FI is VERY supportive of his mom on your wedding day.
I under no circumstances would walk in and be announced with my former husband. It would not happen. I would never personally agree to it. I am good with sitting in same church with him, at events for my child, but I am not with him anymore and wouldn't want to be introduced with him. Please do not do something that would be hurtful to his mother.
I sorta agree with Bellenga here - if there are a lot of hurt feelings on her part, I would introduce them separately. Perhaps you could have each parent walk in with a sibling, (if he has siblings?) My FI's parents are divorced, but they are still amicable. We aren't introducing our parents though, so I don't have this issue.
I dont think I would ask her, considering how they divorced, it will be so hard for her... I don't think I could walk in with my ex if he had cheated on me!! I think they should walk in separately, with either a grandparent, or sibling, etc. Thats what a lot of people do now, and it wouldn't look odd or anything, it's understandable.
Why don't you just skip it? There was a lot of things I didn't do because of the divorce issue or other family stuff.
The parents by no means HAVE to be introduced.
We also skipped the receiving line because of blad blood between my mom and dad.
There are lots of ways to get around the divorce stuff. I would suggest not announcing the parents. Explain to his parents and they will understand.
I think they should be introduced separately...with a guest or not. It's better to keep the peace and if they don't consider themselves a couple anymore, they don't need to be announced together. they are still announced as father of the groom or mother of the groom!

My FI's parents have been divorced for 15 yrs now and havent talked since. They had a nasty divorce and are really fighting it for our wedding day to see each other. I know at the reception the bride and groom's parents get introduced and walk in together, do they have to walk in together? I would kind of like them to but dont want to force it upon them
