Get Together or Keep Apart?

Q. My parents are divorced can I invite them both without spoiling my day?

A. Always very difficult. It seems that more and more couples have some kind of family politics. The main thing to remember is that it is your day and that the other guests will be aware that your parents are not together so they will accept that they will be separated for the day. If either of them do start to create a problem, the bestman should step in and have a quick word to remind them why they are there. I am used to this situation and have had to do this on a few occasions but weddings are very emotional times and as long as you make sure that they both feel important then most people put differences aside.
