They should be able to be adults for the day. Just plan photos, seating and anything else to ensure they aren’t together. Put siblings or step-parents in charge of keeping them apart and happy.

Should have said - I dealt with this with my husbands parents and had a lot of anxiety about it until someone reminded me that if they are uncomfortable with each other it’s their issue and trying to take accountability for their happiness was futile.

You will probably need to have a lot of not fun, frank conversations with both of them. It gets even trickier when one or the other offers (or doesn’t offer) to pay for things.
