How to acknowledge Step Parents in the Grooms speech.?
I get married in 2 weeks (19th July) and I’m having a few issues with how to address step parents in the Grooms speech.
There is no anonimity between the parents – we can have all 4 in the same room without them battling tooth and claw.
The issue is; which order do I thank them?
Obviously I need to thank the father of the bride independantly but then do I say mother and stepfather (of course by name and not relationship) and then mention father of bride and step mother?
I don’t want anyone to take offence by thinking “oh he thanked them before us” etc etc…
All the other parts of the speech are in place – the funnys, the story of how we met, it’s just this thing dong my head in !!!
Thanks in advance…
P.S. Not getting married isn’t an option ! ;o)
The ones who put forth the most money get mentioned first, brides side first, then the grooms.
If you paid for it all yourself, then the brides side, and I would pick the ones you last lived with, then the ones you didn’t. then the groom’s side, same thing, the ones he resided with the most, then those he did not.
