Hi, I am not sure how to list my parents on our wedding program. My parents are divorced, my mom has remarried, and my dad has been dating someone for several years, though they are not married or engaged.
Re: my dad, normally I would write their names as John X and Jane Y. But here's the issue: my dad's girlfriend will also be the bride's personal attendant. It seems silly to list her twice, but it also seems silly to not list her name next to my dad's, because everyone will be wondering who he is sitting with. What do you think?

Think about it this way, If you went to a play and someone played 2 parts, they would be listed twice. I say list her twice.

Hi. I work as a church secretary and have typed up many wedding programs.
What I would do would be to list it as:
Parents of the Bride:
[your mom & step-dad]....not as Mr. & Mrs., but
Stephanie and James Smith
then list your father:
Timothy Johnson
so it would look like:
Parents of the Bride:
Stephanie and James Smith
Timothy Johnson
Don't worry about your dad's girlfriend. If they were married, it would be different. I would only list her under personal attendant, if you so choose to. It doesn't matter if she sits next to your dad. People are smart enough...they will figure it out!
Good luck and I hope you have a beautiful wedding!

I don't think it's that silly to list her twice. She is your father's significant other and she happens to be part of the wedding, therefore you would have to mention her in both spots. If they were married you could list your fathers name and wife and then put her name under attendant, but because there not - I don't think you have any other option.

I am getting married in December and had the SAME problem, in fact, I am having my dad AND my step dad walk me down the aisle. On my programs, i didnt list there names individually, just "parents of the bride" and my invites, they say "Together with their parents Stacey L Madden and Ryan A Fischer request the honor of your presnece etc etc"

It is up to you what order you put them in but it should be something like Mr. John Smith and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jones. Since your dad is not married or engaged to his girlfriend, her name should not be on there. It will be obvious enough who she is with during the wedding and your friends should know who she is. Don't worry over it - it is your wedding and you should be the one making the decisions.

For brides parents you would write:
Mr. Your Father's Name
Mr. And Mrs. Mom and Stepdad
Bride's personal attendant should have her own entry.

In weddings sometimes people get listed twice, it's no big deal, you need to list her as your special significant other and also as your assistant.
Good luck and God Bless your marriage.

Since dad's g/f is not his fiancee or wife, list her only as a personal attendant.

I think it looks good for the msot part. My only suggestions would be to at least one more hinge movement. The only one in there right now is your deadlift. Maybe add stiff legged deadlifts on your first routine and kettlebell swings on your core routine to balance it out more.
