Answer 1/1 - Submitted 4/16/2006

There is no reason why the living parent cannot host the wedding by themselves, which is the same as if one divorced parent hosts the wedding. This would be worded as:

Mr. Mark Allen Jones
requests the honour of your presence
at the marriage of his daughter
Maria Louise

However, the deceased parent may be mentioned using the following form. Note that the deceased parent may not host the wedding.

Maria Louise Jones
daughter of Margaret Elizabeth Jones and the late Mark Allen Jones
and
John Matthew Smith
son of Mr. and Mrs. James Michael Smith
request the honour of your presence
at their marriage
