listing deceased grandparent, living step-grandmother in program
I've seen a few similar questions, but nothing that quite fits the situation. I know that you recommend doing a in memorium for deceased grandparents, however my cousin wants to list her deceased grandparents with the rest of the wedding party. Both her grandparents are deceased, however her grandfather remarried before he died, and his second wife is still living. Should we list her deceased grandparents as "the late Mr. and Mrs. J. W" and the step-grandmother as Ms. EW? Thanks.

Dear NutMeg,
Only the couple's family should be listed if at all. This is really only supposed to be a document that helps your guests know who the principal players are and what they will be viewing.
If for some reason you must list them, you wouldn't mention the step-grandmother. You would list each on a separate line, which indicates that they were divorced. But, I wouldn't do it. It is confusing.
