have u asked him who he would like?
my h2bs dad sadly passed away 2 years ago but hes chose a guy who helped raise him (his mums ex) to be on the top table x

Quite a personal decision, should definately be decided by H2B x

I agree it's entirely up to him but another suggestion would be grandparents

best to ask him. my h2b's dad died when he was 14 and i have both my parents. we are having my parents and siblings and his mum and sister as we have to have 10 on our top table (

I don't have any family except for brother and son, K's family is huge. At our wedding and meal after there will only be 20 people because of this. I am having my brothers adoptive parents (long story!to make it more complicated he doesn't speak to them any more)one of my mother's ex's who she was with for 8 years, my brother, my son and 2 very close friends. I am in the lucky position of being able to choose my family. Everyone I have is there because I want them to be there not because I feel I have to have them there.

We are solving the problem of me not having parent by not having a top table at all. We are going to be on a round table in the middle of all the other tables and sat with guests. Most of our table will be filled with my h2b's close family but it won't look odd or unbalanced as it isn't formal. I would ask the h2b what he wants to do about it.

I definitely think h2b should be the one to decide who, if anyone, sits at his side.

hey i lost my mam in january so im not having a top table as such, im having round tables all around and going to put ours in the middle and on it will be my dad and my h2b parents and close family friends xxx
