Miss Manners: Wedding seating arrangements for extended family
My son is getting married. Besides me , he has his maternal grandmother, paternal grandmother, paternal step-grandmother and paternal great-grandmother. Some of these have living spouses, and some do not.
Who sits where? What order are we seated? He is blessed with longevity in his family, but leaves his mother perplexed.Even if it were common to have families as lucky in longevity as yours, there would be no corresponding seating chart. No good would come of ranking an entire family that closely. It is customary for the couple’s progenitors to sit in the front row of their respective sides. If the row is not long enough, other relatives should file in politely behind them, without making a fuss over exactly where.
Miss Manners appreciates your family’s apparent lack of old feuds among these relatives -- it is simpler when there is no need to scuffle for advantage.If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
