The MOB and FOB are divorced for 7 years now. The bride thought the seating would be the father, step-mother, mother, then brother. The MOB is going crazy saying that she wants her own row in front. The wedding is outside and the bride doesn't think that it would be right to allow the MOB family to sit in front of her father. Also, the father has raised the bride since she was 16. To make matters worse the mother married the groom's oldest brother! I have no idea how to keep the peace and make this day "my" day not theirs!

Dear Cma,
Etiquette would have the parent and significant other of the parent who 'mostly' raised the bride in the first row. This is written is all etiquette books. So, if she has a problem with your plan, you could remind her that she very well could be in the third row if you abide by strict etiquette. She is welcomed in the first row only if the bride's father and his wife, is fine with her doing so.
