Dear Ann Landers,
am getting married next year to a wonderful guy. His mother passed away when he was very young. My future father-in-law never remarried, but he has had a "significant other" for about 18 years -- it just happens to be another man. My fiance is very close to his father's partner. He says it is like having two wonderful fathers. Would it be proper to put his partner's name on the wedding invitation? My fiance says that his father would marry his partner if it were legally possible and that his name should be on the invitation. I don't want to embarrass anyone by making a public announcement of their living arrangement, but neither do I want to offend my fiance by not including this man. How can I diplomatically resolve this?

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, next to the wall. I certainly don’t want to start anything like that again. But-I do have a similar problem that has bothered me for years. Please tell me what you think. Should the lid of the toilet be left up or down? Please note I’m not referring to the toilet seat, it’s the lid I am talking about. In my opinion, the purpose of the lid is to keep it closed when the commode is not in use. I can’t understand why otherwise fastidious people ignore this reasoning and keep the lid up. Please comment. -Faithful Ann Fan
