Wedding of Divorced Families
My daughter is getting married. Her father and I are divorced. The groom's parents are divorced also. I am the only one of the 4 parents who have not remarried. The groom's parents have each been remarried for quite some time, the bride's father for about 5-6 years. The groom's parents do not speak to each nor do the spouses. I am not fond of my ex-husband or his wife but can be cordial when need be.
My daughter has initiated a meeting of ALL parents to come up with a plan of who is going to pay for what. Her first attempt to plan a meeting failed as the mom and step-mom of the groom declined.
My question is... Has there been any etiquette/rules of how this should be handled? Are the bride and groom supposed to be the ones initiating/requesting the meeting?
Thank you.
