How
do you deal with divorced parents who cannot get along?
The best
way to handle this potential problem is to sit them down
ahead of time and explain to them that this is YOUR day and
that you love each of them and want them all to participate
IF that's what you have decided to do!
When it comes time to have pictures taken, have them done
with all of the groups ie:
One of you with your mother (and her new husband, if she is
remarried) for HER, one of you and your father (and his new
wife, if he is remarried) for HIM, and one of you with your
mother and father for YOU.
Another
messy situation can be the first dances. If the divorced
parents get along well enough to dance at least part of a
dance together, you are lucky. If not, maybe you can have
the father ask his new wife to dance, while your stepfather
can dance with your mother. If only one parent is remarried,
and the other has not brought a guest to the wedding, how
about a special family member?
With a little planning ahead of time, and quite a bit of
patience, you can manage to make this situation tolerable! |
