Seating Arrangement Question!!

Hi all, I am getting married in May of this year and I am having a problem with my mom. I had my seating arrangement laid out months ago and now she is having a problem with it. I want my mom, dad and stepmom sitting on the front row; well my mom wants (expects) her boyfriend of only 3 weeks to sit on the front row with my parents. I don`t feel it is appropriate for him to sit with my parents. Am I in the wrong for telling her that it is not appropriate? I`m not sure how things like this work. Thanks in advance for advice.

I am in no way Ms. Manners but I know that I would never have a boyfriend or girlfriend of a parent sitting with my parents, at least not a boyfriend of only 3 weeks (3 years, maybe). This is a place of honor. And always remember, it is YOUR wedding NO ONE can tell you what to do or not to do and if they try to make you feel guilty about something forget it. You have more important things to worry about. Sit your mother down and explain it to her calmly and rationally, if she still wont listen have someone else that she will listen to talk to her about it.

Good Luck! :)

...I don`t see a problem with having him sit with your mother. If he is her guest at your wedding, I think they should be seated together.

Good luck in whatever you decide! :)
