I have been spending many nights and days running around for this wedding, as a mother should be.

First, the grandparents if included , then the bride's mother, then you and your stepson, then the best man, followed by the groomsmen and bridesmaids, then the maid of honor, then the flower girl and ring bearer, then the father of the bride and the bride. As far as seating goes, I would recommend that you sit with your husband where the grooms parents would sit! Hi Brittany! I believe your thinking is on the right track!

No matter what, those kinds of decisions are always up to the bride!
