Re: Ex-boyfriends and weddings

Yeah don't think that's happening lol

I'm not even really friends with any of my exes anymore. At least not enough to have them invited to my wedding.

Re: Ex-boyfriends and weddings

No way! We have mutual friends and I don't even go anywhere he might be out of respect for our respective of my fiance and his.

I think it's a big no no in my book, just unnecessary.

Re: Ex-boyfriends and weddings

DH insisted we invite his h.s. girlfriend and her fiance to our wedding. I really didn't want to. I didn't like her from the way she treated me the very moment we met. Then again, DH didn't like her when she was dating him and 3 other guys at the same time. That's why he broke up with her. But that was like 9 years ago and they've been friends since, although not that close.

We're going to her wedding this upcoming weekend. I'm still not looking forward to it because I don't really like her (did I mention that already:? hmm.) but I'm looking forward to going to another wedding and getting dressed up lol. I'm making the best of it.

FWIW, her fiance is a sweetheart! According to her wedding web page he's "the best $54.95 she ever spent" when she joined match to meet him. (seriously, do people say that???)

Re: Ex-boyfriends and weddings

BIG NO WAY!

Re: Ex-boyfriends and weddings

That's a big 'ol (insert buzzer sound)! & a h-e-l-l-s NOOOOOOOOOO!

I used to be friends w/benefits with our Best Man LMAO...we were never romantically interested in each other, just used to boink like bunnies for the better part of a year (like 5 years ago)...he's always stayed one of my best friends and FH really clicked with him since he's been here (they're actually a lot alike in some ways).

sooooo yeah I guess I'm MORE than inviting an ex

P.S. - FH knows all about our past and is totally fine with it.

Re: Ex-boyfriends and weddings

I'm having like, 4 at my wedding, but only the ones that I'm actually friends with, not the ones that are gonna try to stop the wedding.

But he can't invite his ex. Maybe I wouldn't mind so much if she didn't post stuff like "how about a little game of yes doctor?" on his myspace. B*itch.

Re: Ex-boyfriends and weddings

I second that, im not friends with any of my ex's and i would go crazy if FH decided he wanted to invite one of his ex gf's

Re: Ex-boyfriends and weddings

JMO ~ I would never want anyone that either of us had been with before at my wedding...but that's just me...to each their own

Re: Ex-boyfriends and weddings

Actually all of my ex's are invited to the wedding, I'm still really good friends with them and so is my family, so they all got invites. FH has met them all and has hung out with them on several occassions, so its really not weird for us

Re: Ex-boyfriends and weddings

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I would never do that. What if the pastor/officiant asks "If anyone has any just cause why these two should not get married and they say some crap to stop them" By right pastors and priests have to stop and in some cases depending on what they say they cannot continue the wedding.

Re: Ex-boyfriends and weddings

yeah i don't talk to either of my serious ex-boyfrends. Guys from like high school and younger, who cares? These were not serious relationships for me, so FH couldn't care less.

Re: Ex-boyfriends and weddings

I'm not inviting any of my exes. I feel bad because I'm actually still close with one of them but FH doesn't feel right about it. If your FH doesn't mind and you don't mind, then I say go for it. But if it doesn't feel right, then explain to him there are too many people already and you're sorry. I actually explained the situation to my ex on why he can't be invited and he told me he understood and respects it.

Re: Ex-boyfriends and weddings

So after laughing abou tthis topic and my reply before...bc one of the exes is my FBIL so I dont really have a choice in that matter. But the FH brought it to my attention that he did invite two of his exes. I've met one but i didnt know he actually dated her. Kick to my face.....So after much protest and fighting and threatening to call it off...He mentioned how he has to invite his brother so if i can have an ex im friends with there...he can have one....jerk.....Im making damn sure that the objections line is being removed.

Re: Ex-boyfriends and weddings

I am inviting one, but only because we dating a long time ago and we are very close friends now. FH isnt inviting any.

Re: Ex-boyfriends and weddings

I wouldn't call him an ex- but definitely a guy I used to hook up with (in highschool 8 years ago). The only reason is because he is friends with FH -- thats actually how I met FH.

We were invited to his and it wasn't weird. I always forget we used to hook up anyways

Re: Ex-boyfriends and weddings

An ex is an ex for a reason. I don't see why someone getting married would still be in contact with men from their past. So my answer is, No, I did not invite any exes to our wedding - and neither did my husband.

Re: Ex-boyfriends and weddings

it really depends, I have an ex that I dated back in middle school AND high school and 'hung out with' right before I met FH.. he's like my BFF and he's pretty good friends with FH (he wanted to put him in the BP, but I said no). like situations like that, I mean, he's a FRIEND of both of ours...
but like other ex's that FH never met, or met once or twice and didn't get a good feel for... then no.

Re: Ex-boyfriends and weddings

Defentially no. But then again FH my first serious BF. Even if I did have other serious BF's I would no way be inviting them.

Re: Ex-boyfriends and weddings

I'm inviting 1 ex and one guy I had previously hooked up with. They're my friends. They're FH's friends.

I don't see the problem with it.
