My biological father past away years ago, and my mother will not be at my wedding either. An older couple who I refer to as my "Mom" and "Dad" will be walking me down the aisle. How can I include my biological parents' names in the program and still include my "Mom's" and "Dad's" names. Is it even appropriate for me to include biological parents' names in the program since they are not there during the wedding? If not, where can I have their names mentioned? Thank you.

Dear Bride,
All of this is your choice. But, it may be best to list your chosen Mom and Dad as honored guests. Then if you choose to name your parents you could list an 'in memorium' to your father and state that your mother XXX was unable to attend. But, this is entirely your choice. If it were me, I wouldn't list the mother because she wouldn't be there.
