Dear Polite One,

For my wedding program, how should I list my parents (bride) who are divorced and my father has remarried?

Multiple parents

Dear Multiple Parents,

List your mother first as mother of the bride.  If she has an escort, list his/her name next to hers as her escort.  Your father is listed under the mother as the father of the bride with his wife’s name listed next to his as his wife such as:

Father of the bride: Mr. Frank Jones accompanied by his wife Mrs. Jane Jones.  

Sincerely,

The Polite One
