I am getti ng married next year and my mums partner is walking me down the isle. The top table will have him and my mum etc. My fiance's parents r dead, who do we have to represent his side? I want the table to be balanced.
CommentAuthorb2bnicola

Quite a personal decision, should definately be decided by H2B x
CommentAuthorLisaB
I am having my aunt and uncle sitting next to me at my Wedding as my mum passe away a few years back and my Dad isn't a part of my life. I would say like luvlifejen perhaps an aunt and uncle or his siblings. It really is up to him, but I know what you mean about having the table balanced!
I agree it's entirely up to him but another suggestion would be grandparents

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.
Got married 11/11/11.

You can it how you wants is your wedding. You can take less chairs away. Invite someone else who means something to you. Whatever you want its your wedding.

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.

My Dad died 6 years ago this year and I'll be having my Mom walk me down the aisle as she's raised me during my hard times. I haven't really thought about the top table because it confuses me!
CommentAuthorOuttahere
I definitely think h2b should be the one to decide who, if anyone, sits at his side.
CommentAuthormrscooper2beee
Things are the same for my h2b, his parents have passed away. At the wedding there will only be a few of his close friends and quite a lot of my family, but im hoping to just spread it out so he feels better. Its such a shame, i wish i could have met his parents and have thier blessing and have them there to celebrate our day. However he does have some close freinds who i know will be there for him.
CommentAuthorBlondie83
