We always include the father--assuming he's alive at the time.  I haven't 
seen it done any other way.  We also put the bride on one side and the groom on 
the other.  The chairs are arranged so that one faces one direction and one the 
other 
(like this: ! i ! i ).  That way, they are always facing someone in the 
circle.  Both father and mother get floral crowns, as a rule.  It usually 
eventually warms up and becomes another hora set.
