One of the Girls in the Office got Married the Other Week and there were 8 Parents of the Bride & Groom at the wedding. The "direct" Parents of the Bride & Groom had all re-married and all attended the Wedding with their new spouses.

How common is this nowadays ??

 

Wonder how the reception went after a few drinks?

 

A bloke in the office had the same earlier this year - he was one of the new partners, apparently the place settings were a nightmare (hardly surprising)

 

friend of mine had the same but with the grandparents too. only his parents were still together.

 

Not Well apparently

 

Imagine the kids they have, 8 lots of pressies from the grandparents at christmas and b'day's it'd be a nightmare having to arrange loads of different trips to visit them all

 

My step brother got married this year, same thing. Funniest thing was the wedding invitation, Mr & Mrs BLah blah x8, more common then you'd thing. My step sister got married two years ago, she had two Dads give her away! Sign of the times.

No fights at either party.

 

Yet another reason to sod off somewhere warm and get married on the sly

 

Or just not to do it at all !

 

well that was my thought
but i thought i would get flamed for it.....

 

I'm getting married soon

have

Mum + Pete
Dad + Sandy
Mary(wife no.2 for Dad) + Robin(new bloke)
Dad + Mum for bride

Mum + Mary = Bad
Pete + Dad = Bad
Sandy + Mary = Bad
Dad + Robin = V.BAD
Mum + Mum 2 = friction
Mum + Bride = occasional friction

I'm going to get plasterd and disown the problem starters if anything kicks off

 

Musical inlaws - my favourite

 

I would suggest doing what we did - my wife to be's parents were just divorced, so the invites came from us.
"Lisa and Kieran would like to invite you to celebrate their Wedding..."

In fact we paid for and organised everything so we dictated who went where
