At the reception when the wedding party is introduced and walks into the room, I do not want to walk in and be introduced with my ex-wife. Is is appropriate to walk in with my girlfriend of 14 months and be introduced that way? Although we are not engaged, we are planning on getting married but want to wait until my daughter is marrried so not to rain on her parade.

You do not need to be introduced along with the bride's mother. She would be introduced first and make her entrance. You would be introduced second and make your entrance separately from her. DO NOT be introduced with your girlfriend. She should already be in the room and seated. She would only be introduced if she were married to you.

you could no longer have a marriage reception without a marriage. He don't have even gotten engaged in the previous his divorce replaced into very final. His spouse could make the divorce technique depressing if she found out. the wonderful thank you to do this is to have a marriage that's no longer legally shown. this is, i think of, what you're calling a dedication ceremony. i'm assuming your daughter needs a non secular ceremony. for this reason, have her communicate to her clergy member of decision. they may be very understand-how. If she might like a civil ceremony or the clergy member products, ask a kinfolk member to officiate, and the couple can write the ceremony. yet have the ceremony in a various venue than the reception; i've got in no way seen one-room weddings that have been stylish.

I haven't been to a wedding where the parents are introduced, only members of the wedding party. I would recommend sitting down with your daughter to discuss whether parents are going to be introduced. If so, the two of you could be introduced separately, so you don't have to walk together (i.e., introducing Mr. Jones, Father of the Bride and his guest/escort Ms. Smith).

We didn't introduce the parents at the reception at that time. We just had the Maid of Honor, bridesmaids, best man, and groomsmen and us be introduced. My dad gave a speech during dinner. My dad and his gf have been together 10 years (not married either) and I did not introduce her. She's not my blood family and thats who I wanted IN the wedding. She was however in some of the family photo's.

If they are going to introduce the parents, you could be introduced separately ("Introducing the father of the bride, John Smith"), but definitely do not do so with your girlfriend. She is not technically a part of the family yet, and not related to your daughter in any way, so she should not be introduced with you.

No. Absolutely not. Your girlfriend should be seated at your table prior to your arrival and no mention of her should be made during the "announcements". If your daughter is set on "announcements" (I can't stand them), then you should go first and then when you are halfway to your table, your ex should be introduced. If she's remarried and the new husband had anything to do with raising your daughter or they are close, then he can be introduced at the same time. If he had nothing to do with your daughter or they are not close, then he should be seated at the ex's table and NOT introduced. But no, you and your GF should not be introduced together.

I am going to have to get on the suck it up band wagon. It isnt about you, its about your daughter and when they introduce you the emcee will say "Lets give it up for the brides parents. Bill and Susan" Dont make it akward on your daughter or anyone else.
However, if you decide to make this an issue with your daughter, DONT ask to walk in with your girlfriend. She is not your daughters mother or step mother and she has no bearing on your daughters day except to be your date. Dont try and make her anything more than that.

Definitely not. The main attraction is your daughter and her husband. The bride should introduce her mother and her father separately. The best way to do this is after everyone is sitting and then stand up when the bride announces each parent's name.

No, if you don't want to be introduced at all that is.
You have to think of your daughter. She needs you and your ex to pull together on this day; you are her parents and should be introduced at such. You really should leave your honey at home, or at least talk to your daughter as to how she feels having her there.

The wedding day is not about your girlfriend of 14 months. It's about your daughter. You should enter seperately, or just exclude the parental announcements.
