formal wording of parent's names on wedding program
I have searched the posts, but cannot find the topic that I need.
My parents are still together. His parents are divorced and both remarried.
We are having a very formal wedding. All the other bridesmaids and groomsmen have their entire name spelled out. For example: Alexander Paul Goodman
We want to list out the parents and grandparents like this. How do I list the formal names of couples without using Mr. and Mrs. ?
So far, I have:
Parents of the Bride
Bobby and Samantha Smith
Parents of the Groom
Clyde Alexander Johnston and wife Sherry Johnston
Evelyn Nicole Freeman and husband Gary Freeman
My mother, Samantha, believes the parents of the groom are more formally listed because we included their middle names. How do you list the couple Bobby and Samantha Smith as formal as groom's parents names? And, do I put in Sherry and Gary's middle names too?
Thank you

Dear Jamiaca,
If your wedding is very formal, you would be using titles in your program. It would be Mr. and Mrs. Bobby Smith. But, if not, then your effort is fine with a couple of suggestions. I would list your groom's mother first, because she will be seated as special. And, if you are listing middle names, all should be used.
