Wedding Seating On Top Table - Is There A Correct Way??

[Smowball]

My son is getting married next year and his gf has gone into full bridezilla mode, but that’s his problem lol.
My query is the table seating. My daughter has told me that the gf is planning to have her parents at top table, plus me, and my sons dad (my ex), but not our current spouses, to whom we have both been married to for 10 years each. She wants them to go and sit separately with other guests, of which Mr Smow will only know about 3!
My ex has refused to sit away from his wife, and sons gf thinks he is being entirely unreasonable, but actually I agree with him.
Now she doesn’t know I even know about this seating plan yet, but I wanted to gently broach the subject with her. I’ve spoken to a few people who have been divorced and remarried and they all said that their current spouses were sat with them at the top table.
What do you think??

Snow, just read through again. I think the dogs, as ring bearers, should hzvd pride of plzcecon the top table. ;o)

Smow. Sorry, my tablet changed you to Snow.

I personally think it's wonderful involving her dogs. They are part of the family after all, or should be if looked after properly.

Barmaid,message me xx

I presume they will be led by bridesmaids or page boys, so no problem. My dog would be stopping all down the aisle to say hello to the guests! My dogs to me are family.

Please don't take this the wrong way but lots of posters offered support for you and your son who was attacked and I'm guessing are not all in email contact. I also had wondered how he was getting on but you have never updated that thread.

So long as the dogs are happy with it......I hate seeing dogs dressed up and my dogs would hate it but so long as the dogs are happy.....Smow, if it was me, I would think of it as a part of my wedding gift to the couple and just put up with it. Do something lovely with your current partner just for the two of you after the wedding.

Well I was panning through this with distain till I came to the 10.30 post from Smow! Yes put the dogs on the top table and let everyone else find their own place. Maybe play a game of putting sticky labels on their backs and others have to help them guess where they are sitting!

Prudie. I have been up to my eyes so I will try and update ASAP, just thought people were bored hearing about it.

[anneasquith]

Prude, I understand what you are saying .

[Smowball]

Prudie I’m genuinely not sure what I’m meant to have done wrong??

At my brother's wedding my Mum was next to bride's Dad and and my Dad next to bride's Mum. As there were five bridesmaids (including my self )we were scattered around the other tables. I ended up sitting next to a lady and her son , the lady complained constantly about everything, I'd never met her before, found out at afterwards she was the bride's stepmother. There was no way on earth she was ever going to be on the top table as she had had a long-term affair with the bride's Dad and the bride's Mum was the last one to know. She may have been a moaning Myrtle, and it was better to keep her away from the top table

[Prudie]

Who said you'd done anything wrong? You were in hospital watching over your son in a terrible state a couple of wees ago with lots of posts but you've never told us since how he's doing. I've just made the comment because when BM asked you said to message you for an update. We can't all do that but I'm sure many of us would like to know he's OK but you haven't mentioned it since.

[Smowball]

Prudie. I posted an update but I’ve just checked and don’t think it actually posted.

[Smowball]

I’ve had chat with Bride to be and am just going to go with what she wants. It’s her day, and it’s only one day so let her do what makes her happy x
