How do I word wedding invitation when parents are divorced
Both bride and groom's parents are hosting the wedding, but bride's parents are divorced, and bride's mother re-married and divorced again! Which way should I list them?
Asking the blessing of God
Mr. Bride's father and Ms. Bride's Mother
and
Mr. and Mrs. Groom's Parents
request the honour of your presence at the marriage of their children
Mary Jane Smith
and
Jonathan Micahel Johnson
OR
Asking the blessing of God
Mother of the bride
Father of the bride
Mr. and Mrs. Groom's Parents
request the honour of your presence, etc.
My etiquette book did not provide for a situation where this occurred, but it did state that when parents are divorced the mother of the bride is first. Well, my mother and I don't get along well but I do want to include her on the invitation. What to do? Which way is proper etiquette (if any of those!)
Thanks for your help!

Dear Catti,
Your mother's name is mentioned first and on a separate line.
