ok,this is the situation...complicated! my h2b WAS a JW(Jehovah witness) but is not any longer.His parents still are and various members of his family.They wont come to the wedding(not allowed!!!) so his side will be a bit depleted! I can mix the sides up at ceremony,thats not a problem but how do I arrange the top table? Also to add to this,my dad left my mum(who still holds a torch)24 yrs ago for someone else.I would like my dad at my wedding but dont feel I can invite his partner as she was my mums friend and I dont want to hurt my mum.She has to be my priority,and I dont see much of my Dad these days.He may decide not to come anyway. My brother lives in Denmark and I would love him to give me away but dont want to hurt my dad either.Can they both walk me down the aisle??? And how do I arrange the table?
Oh families!!!!!!

its been hard work but finally marry my soulmate 22.11.14

I'm having my step dad and my 9 year old son walk me down.

As for the top table you don't need to go traditional. As we have seven kids between us, we are having us as a new family on the top table

Our wedding day - 6 October 2012

Dont invite your dads new partner, if he doesnt like it explain why, then its his decision if he doesnt want to go,that problem is then solved. Have your father (assuming he attends) and brother either side of you when you walk down the aisle. There are no hard and fast rules these days.

You say your dad left your mum 24 years ago, is this the partner that he is still with? If it is, I think it is a little rude not to invite her if they have been together for 24 years, its not like it is his new flavour of the month. You dont have to have her on top table though, maybe seat her with your grandparents? And as for walking down the aisle I see no reason why they couldn't both do it :) It is your wedding after all, do it how you want to xxx

Got together 14.02.2008
Got engaged 31.12.2010
Will become a Mrs on 30.08.2014 xxxxxx

Just have you ,hubby, bridesmaids and best man on the top table, have your dad and partner host a table and your mum hosting a table, your dad and brother can both walk you down the aisle xx

I agree with what Jonathan. If you don't want dad's oh there don't invite her its your day first & foremost. If you think your dad may decide not to come, try not to worry about him too much, if you want your brother to walk you down the aisle do that. What is the relationship like between your brother & dad? You don't want any extra tension whilst walking down the aisle.

Thanks guys,yes they have been together 24 yrs but she is the 'friend' dad left my Mum for after 34 yrs of marriage!! This is my 2nd wedding and at my first,my Dad asked my Mum for a divorce...great timing!!! I would feel like I was rubbing salt in the wound as they havent really seen each other since they split.
My Mum never remarried or had a relationship after and they are both 81 now!! so no...my grandparents are no longer with us! Apart from our immediate family(siblings and partners)and 2 cousins,1 aunt,there are no other relatives to put Dads partner with.I have a good relationship with my brother tho dont see him much as he lives in Denmark.My relationship with my Dad is a bit distant.He is not very good with communication with me,sees more of my sister.
