Wording the wedding program for Stepmother and Ex Stepfather
Hi,
I'm currently working on my wedding program. Here's the situation. Warning: it's confusing!
My mom is close to my dad and stepmom (Lauren) My mom also lived with a guy for a long time but they broke up 13 year ago (he was like a stepdad Charles).
My stepbrother is escorting my stepmom to her seat. My "ex stepdad is escorting my mom to her seat." (he was never married to my mom)
My fiance's mother is attending alone (divorced) and is being escorted by his sister, dad is not attending.
How do I word this? I was thinking of not including the "stepparents" in the program or including only the "real" stepparent (Lauren)? Charles is also wearing a tux to escort my mom, but did not contribute to the wedding.
I was thinking:
Brides Parents Corey Johnson Alison Johnson
Groom's Parent (or should it read Groom's Mother?) Kelly Mason
Please help.

Dear Confusing,
It sounds as if you have the typical family. So many of us have one big blended family these days :)
Let's make this easy. You could probably just mention your parents and your stepmother (because your mother is close to them) and your groom's mother as parents. List all bridal party members as bridal party members. You really don't have to include their relationship if you don't want to.
