Exes at weddings.

Names have been changed.. lol.

Our STD's went out yesterday but I prepared them all last week. Gave every parent the chance to look at their guest lists and add/replace/subtract, etc.

My Mom wants to add a lady named *Susan Shmoe* to the list. Susan Shmoe is the mother of *Joe Shmoe.* Joe Shmoe is my ex-bf. We dated for 5 years in high school/college. Haven't talked to her or him in about 3 years and neither has my Mom.

After I picked up my jaw, I asked why, of course. She said my ex and I "grew up" together. Uh, haven't talked to EITHER of them since the break up.... huh?! Joe just got married recently. I asked if they had invited my Mom to THEIR wedding. NO. They didn't. So no, he's not invited nor his mother.

So that made me curious. Did/is anyone inviting an ex to their wedding? Anyone worried about that? Anyone totally fine with it?

NO thank you. I would like my ex to take a hike. A long one.

As for boyfriends. When we broke up we stayed broken up. Fortunately, I really don't know where any of them are.

I am not inviting any of my ex-bf's but I am inviting a few guy friends with whom that friendship crossed the line ...

With that being said my FH dated two of my good friends - both of whom are invited to the wedding.

Eh - we really just dont care about our past enough to cause drama

My ex was basically the only person from one of my "circles" of friends that i didn't invite. at this point i would have actually been okay with inviting him and his gf, but 6 months ago when we were doing tentative guest list planning it could have been ugly. Also FH would have been upset about it and it was DEFINITELY not a battle that was worth starting.

ETA: Somehow it worked out that from my most "incestuous" group of friends - i.e. we all banged each other - that no one i've ever even made out with before will be at our wedding. so that's an unexpected arrangement

It's totally inappropriate imo to invite exs..Unless of course you have step kids/kids and are on good terms with the ex. That way they can drop them off and things but other than that I can't think of any good reason..

Nope. The guy I dated seriously before FH and I met asked if he was invited. I responded with, "Uhm, no. That would be awkward for all parties involved."

My 8/9th grade boyfriend will be there, along with his parents. Our families stayed close, we stayed friends, it was 8th grade and it was 14 years ago. I think it'll be ok ;p

In my pictures the guy in the kilt is one of my exes (three year long relationship but I never "banged" him). The SO of one of the groomsmen was a bang from my hubbies past, and then the SO of another groomsmen was a woman Hubby was involved with for a couple of years...............

So yeah we had exes there but no drama from it!

Ha yes. My ex is actually one of the groomsmen. We stayed friends after I broke up with him and i actually introduced him to my FH sister. They got married over a year ago (I was a bridesmaid) and they just had their first baby!

Nope... I thought about it, I had stayed closed with an ex after we "broke-up" (we realized we were better friends then a couple) But since I got engaged he has pulled away, starting dating a new girl who doesn't like me on principle so No, not invited...
