Seating divorced parents, step parents and parent's significant others at the wedding ceremony
I have read every comment possible regarding seating of step parents, but still have one question unanswered. I understand that father of bride and new wife are advised to sit in third row or can sit in front row along with other family and mother of the bride.
I am the mother of the bride and I am not married but have a significant other of 2 years I want to sit with me. My question is, as the mother of bride, I am the last one escorted in, but should my significant other already be seated or follow behind me?
Also, is it proper to have him sitting in seat 2 of front row next to me and have father of bride and step mother sit in row 2?
Lastly, do I exit by myself or with him? It seems odd that he should exit before father of bride and step mother? Please help.

Dear Roxanne,
He would already be seated in the second seat from the aisle before you are escorted in. You are the last one to walk down the aisle before the procession begins. If you are in good terms with the father of the bride, then he and his wife could sit anywhere in the first row with you. If not, then they would be seated in the third row closest to the aisle.
