wedding @ church
My fiancé's parents are divorced and my future mother-in-law is not very close with her son, but his father does help out a little more with everything. Do i seat the father and mother in the same pew at the church, i know properly its the mother then father behind. Both have relationships with other people but not married.

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
Place them where the groom's parents traditionally belong and let them work out their personal issues themselves. It is not your business nor your concern on your special day. Its YOUR day, not theirs, so leave them to solve their own problems, or at least set them aside for a day.

The situation will differ between families.
I went to a wedding recently where the bride's family was divorced. The parents both sat in the same pew, but with others between them.
I would suggest that you speak to both parents separately. Ask them if they would prefer different seating. You'd be surprised by how accommodating most will be: they're adults, so they should really be able to hold their tongues for one day.
Also, it would probably mean a whole lot to the significant others of the family if they were seated with the parents. First off, it's no fun being stuck in a corner at a wedding where you don't really know anyone, and secondly, it's really nice to put them on par with the actual parents. Just a thought.
