OK I am going to a wedding in July (my g-friends older sister) and I have been asked to accompany their mother, as she is divorced and the father will also be attending with his new wife.
I have been advised that the mother and father will be polite to each other, but no more than that (they haven'r laid eyes on each other in 18 years). However, the mother and new wife have a history of hostile encounters where the new wife basically provokes the mother, often leading to actual fighting.
I've been asked to lend moral support in this situation and to step in if things get ugly. Whilst it is doubtful anything will happen (happy day and all that), how should I break up any violence?
Whilst I am 'on the side' of the mother I do not want to get too physical as they are obviously both ladies (and the mother is now frail) but at the same time I do not want either getting hurt- either by each other or myself!
Ideas?

Sit away from everyone as far as possible and happily eat and get slowly drunk after the wedding.

You tell both women to remember it's their daughters wedding and her happiness on that day is more important than what they have to say at that given point. Also remind these women that it is not the time or place for violence. Remind them of their manners in a polite way. It's very difficult to argue with someones who's being mannerly toward you. Do not under any circumstances get drawn into the argument and if need be remove them until they have both calmed down. Pacifism is they way forward here!
Good Luck Mate!!!

Sounds like a very interesting situation. Just go w/ the flow. You can't help what happens. Just remind her it is a wedding and to act appropriately. Just tell the mother how you feel because the physical part could get a little complicated but, have fun.

A great way to get your ex back is https://tr.im/Pl0eK
They might realize they need you and come crawling back!
If you do get back together, don't let the same issues that destroyed your relationship crop up again. Have a good, long talk about how you're both going to make it right this time.

Take it easy!! In all probabilities the ladies would be mature enough to realise there is a more important thing going on than the BOTH OF THEM!!
Best thing to do would be to protect the mother-in-law from the other mother-in-law if you get what I mean. Girlfriend sure gonna appreciate you standing up for her mother...

Being that they are "frail" I don't foresee any violence. But I would keep the women at a safe distance from each other. If ugly words should come into play - I would remind everyone that this is the "sisters" day and not to ruin it.

Many girls break up with their significant others, is because they need time to figure things out. Don't take it personally, if you want her back, you have to show her you can help her. If you love her then you'll let her go, that's it. Not everybody who you date in high school you end up staying with, the chances are extremely unlikely. So if she doesn't want to, then you need to let her go.

If they start trouble calmly remind them that they're at that wedding and ask them to please not ruin the day for the newly weds. Suggest that they just stay way from each other for the rest of the day if they can't handle being civilized for a while on this occation.

have 911 ready on the speed dial of your cell phone and whipp it out and say if there is physcal confontration you will dial the number and let the authorities settle the matter. And there will be pressing of charges... That should make them think twice unless they are drunk, Keep GF Mom from becoming inhebrated would help out tremendously.

Keep the one that your assigned to, busy! When ever you see the other, then direct the one your with, away from the scene. If not, then try to intercept the other one and misdirect her to another place...
But, if they are there to antagonise and fight, then take them to another room and remind them that THIS IS A WEDDING, and not friday nights fight!! Get with your Father and explain what you will be trying to do, and enlist his help.
I wish you well..
Jesse
