Seating Scenarios
Q. My fiancé and I are having problems arranging the top table at our wedding as both sets of parents are divorced. What can you suggest so that we can have a peaceful day?
A. Nadine Williams says: It's very difficult to keep with tradition in these circumstances. Traditionally the bride's mother would sit with the groom's father and vice versa. However, if your parents have a new partner there is the dilemma of whether to include them on the top table, or risk upsetting them by seating them elsewhere. For this reason the top table can become a very long one. I would suggest having round tables for your reception, including the troublesome top table. Your table can just seat you and your husband for intimacy or you could add the best man and bridesmaids, possibly with their partners, to fill a whole table. You can then ask your respective parents and their partners to host a family table each. This can work well as everyone can enjoy the day with both sets of parents feeling more relaxed at the same time as being involved in the wedding by playing host. |
