I am trying to get together the engagement announcement for my local newspaper. Here is my dilemma...
My fiancee and I are announcing our engagement (we are paying for the wedding on our own).
My father passed away 3 years ago and my mother has since remarried but kept her married name from my father.
My fiancee's parents divorced when he was young and both remarried as well. His step-father has played a major role in his life and must be included in the announcement. His mother passed away 7 years ago.
I was thinking something along the line of ...
((bride's name)) and ((groom's name)) are pleased to announce their engagement ... ((bride)) is the daughter of ((mother's name)) and the late ((father's name)). ((Groom)) is the son of Mr. ((step-father's name)), the late ((groom's mother's name)), and Mr. and Mrs. ((groom's father's name))
How do I word the newspaper announcement so to include everyone?
