I am the Mother of the Bride, divorced from her father. My question is about cermony seating for my date for the wedding. This is someone that I've only been seeing for a few months. Is it appropriate for him to sit with me at the wedding or with other guests? The father and I get along just fine. Would he still sit with me as well at the ceremony?

I'm guessing that your relationship with your date is not so serious as to have progressed to the point where he is your fiance. In my opinion, since he is a relatively recent addition to your life, he should not be considered a member of your family, and more importantly - not a member of your daughter's family. Remember that this is her special day - not yours. My advice would be that you seat your friend some place other than in the front pew with you and your daughter's father. He should sit with your other friends, a bit further back.

I agree with the above. Additionally, you could ask your daughter what she prefers.

I had the same issue at my wedding. My mother brought a date whom she soon after broke up with. Since he was in the front with her, he's in all of my church wedding photos - you know how expensive those are.

Not to say you will ever break up... but you see the point I'm getting at.
