Stuck with a little dilemma I thought I'd throw out to the collective wisdom.
Quick background, my parents separated about 15 years ago. My father remarried about 10 years ago, my mother however has not been so lucky although she met a great guy called Dave last year and they seem to be getting on well and he likes me too.
Now, obviously I'm going to have a picture of us and my mother and father, plus my father and stepmum, and one of my mother, Dave and his 2 teenage children. I've spoken to everyone involved and both my mother and father are happy to be in a picture together, as obviously it's a long time ago and although it was unpleasant at the time they are still living in the same town and frequently run into each other and chat about our wedding plans. All four of them (dad, stepmum, mum and Dave) are sitting on the top table with us.
I'm just wondering whether I should get a picture of just my mother with us as well, or whether that might seem wrong and treating Dave as 'second class' as they are not married. Alternatively I could do us plus my mother, and one of my father without my stepmum, but that might look strange to my stepmother.
Or have we missed some other obvious solution?
